Not much cooking this weekend - Grandma's 100 birthday party tomorrow and lots of meals out with family over the next 2 days. Monday, while I'm home by myself, a big pot of minestrone and some homemade bread.

I'm making a big batch of ground turkey potstickers, some I'll freeze and some will be for football on Sunday! Not typical football food, but hey, I've never been too typical. Otherwise, I've been craving some pancakes....

I want to start making and freezing cookie dough, inspired by the post on here earlier today! Love that idea of getting prepped for the holiday season. Also want to make the oreo cheesecake cupcakes, because those sound amazing. Maybe something healthy at some point too, but that is just not as enticing.

Have been craving a butternut and sage lasagna. Unfortunately, I was over-ruled in favor of burgers and fries tonight. Will probably still make it and just freeze it for later...

Went to our local Middle Eastern Food Festival for dinner and am stuffed with kibbee and grape leaves!

Tomorrow I will be making chocolate stout cupcakes with butter/sugar frosting. Sunday.... probably the chicken potstickers I made and froze 2 weeks ago :)

Thanksgiving is this weekend here in Victoria BC! I'm looking forward to turkey, mounds of stuffing, hot and sour soup and bibingka ;)

This weekend I'll be canning tomato sauce. I love the recipe for simple tomato sauce from the Art of Simple Food by Alice Waters.

I picked up a squash at the store today. 'Tis the season.

I have a crockpot full of New Orleans red beans cooking with lots of sausage. All I have to do is get some French bread and cook some rice later.

Well, I've been freezing food for my 7 months old son like crazy. It's the end of the gardening season, and I have tons of delicious veggies and fruits I cook and freeze for him... while we eat the less tender, yet still delicious leftovers.

So, I think it's going to be leak and tiny roasted oignons. Plus, I have to bring desert for tonight's diner, so seasonal fruits salad and a giant "tarte aux mirabelles" ! (Hum... does "yellow prune tart" mean anything in English ? I have to improve my culinary English, sorry).

Big pot of kale, potato & sausage soup to eat for lunch all week long.

Maybe some braised short ribs if the weather is cool enough.

Last night I made a big meatloaf with sauteed chard and mashed sweet potatoes for a friend from out of town.

I would now have several. Because my family likes to eat Thai food itself.

Hot and sour soup with shrimp with this Hamilton Beach 6-Quart Programmable Slow Cooker,Green papaya salad and other.....

Omelet is indispensable.

Hi Loora - Perhaps you mean "yellow plum tart"? Plums if they are fresh, prunes if they are dried, although I have never heard of a yellow prune. Enjoy!

Making a trial run for Thanksgiving so we're making roasted turkey Cook's Illustrated style, Pasta & Company Winter Bread Salad and mashed sweet potatoes. Also trying to make pear butter. I found a recipe with ginger, cardamon and allspice which is very intriguing.

I need to figure out something to bring to a potluck tonight, and start the grocery list for the coming week....maybe I'll just take all your ideas and run with them!

With temps in the 80s in Arizona, it's finally feeling like fall! I have made apple pancakes with mixed success and am thinking of a big pot of chili and maybe something pumpkin-flavored.

Lots of sandwiches, and some soup as well. This weekend is the fifth online Sandwich Party --- and y'all are welcome to join in! Last night it was grilled cheddar with garlicky spinach and a bowl of creamy tomato soup. It was so good that I might make variations of grilled cheese all weekend long!

I'm going to be making cassoulet as I've finally tracked down toulouse sausages and my husband is making madelines.

I've been inspired by Charlotte above and may also be making a stockpile of kale, potato and sausage soup!

Will feast on a big batch of chicken casserole all weekend. Baked French toast and thick-cut bacon for Sunday brunch.

it's thanksgiving in Canada, so Turkey, mashed potatoes, veg, and mmmm strawberry pie!!

Made the Irish Scones early this morning, currently proofing a loaf of whole wheat/flax seed bread, some pizza dough and a batch of pretzel dough! Oh carb-o-licious day! And, had some sausage-stuffed squash from our CSA box last night. Awesome. [contented sigh]

I'll definitely be making a butternut squash risotto, and a Spanish tortilla, as well as stocking up for the week to come. I'm really wanting to try those cheese-apple-oatmeal "cookies."

Dilemma: I froze butternut squash soup, and when I defrosted it got a very watery result. I'm wondering how to resuscitate it. Obvious choice is to boil a potato or two and puree it in. Could I turn it into a viable pasta sauce? Use it as the liquid in...something? It was such a lovely soup but the texture is ruined. This didn't happen last time I froze it. Ah well. Any ideas welcome.

cmcinnyc: I don't have any experience with making butternut squash soup, but I'm wondering if you could simmer it for a while over a low heat to cook out the excess water, and then maybe add in a bit of half and half to regain some of the richness. Good luck!

maryeats, I'm canning tomato too! But rather than sauce this year I think I'm going to just throw in some salt and let them remain tomatoes.

I'm making She Crab Soup and even though this will be Monday I am going to make your Cincinnati Chili.

I just posted about my first time making mussels, which always terrified me. It went mostly well-- I've definitely learned some pointers for the next time.

Tomorrow, potato leek soup with the CSA share goodies. A little odd with the crazy weather we've been having (80 degrees in October in Milwaukee? Whaaaa?) but tasty nonetheless.

Made chicken soup last night from a rotisserie chicken. We're sick.

my hubbies in the kitchen creating a delicious thai pumpkin soup!! Can't wait to get off my lazy bum and eat it!!

I had leftover rotisserie chicken, mashed potatoes, and chicken gravy...so I made a mash potato-topped chicken pot pie. It turned out surprisingly tasty.

Then, I made a pecan pie following a new recipe to a T...and the custard curdled. :'( I guess I need to figure out if my oven is running hot. I still ate the pie though. :P

Canadian here, and I am apparently roasting my first Turkey today and taking it to my cousins tomorrow because I won't get there in time to do it there. Not quite sure how that happened. But it's brining in the cooler as I type.

Yesterday was a culinary bust... ate Olive Garden for lunch (and hubs ate the leftovers for dinner). Making up for that today. Just popped a loaf of the Trader Joe's Pumpkin Bread in the oven, to which I added a layer of cream cheese filling. House smells amazing.

Tonight, its roasted butternut, delicata, and spaghetti squash risotto. Might get some pancetta to sprinkle on top for some saltiness.

Zucchini fritters, roasted butternut squash with Rosemary, mushroom strudel, pancakes and bacon, brownies
