"The fields are harvested and bare,
And Winter whistles through the square.
October dresses in flame and gold
Like a woman afraid of growing old."
-Anne Mary Lawler
It's officially fall! Pumpkins, corn, gourds, colorful mums, hay rides, cinnamon, apple cider, fires, witches, ghosts, goblins, chocolate....
This month life seems to get more hectic with family/school/work activities. We feel a little more tired and in need of cozy comforts as our nights become closer and closer to dinnertime. Rich stews, flavors of the season, and roasts or slow-cooked recipes that give the house that wonderful aroma are what's in store. I chose recipes that can serve more than 4 to use for after pumpkin picking or trick-or-treating. Chili for Sunday Football or a beautiful roast Chicken for a family dinner are included, as well.
Happy Halloween!
Happy Halloween!
Head to an apple orchard and pick some braeburns to use in this unbelievably tasty dish. Your house will liven up as these thighs roast with all the seasonings. Serve with roasted brussells sprouts and mashed potatoes.
Soooooo easy, hearty, filling and delicious. I actually put it all into a crockpot last year so it was incredibly easy for a weeknight supper.
My friend, Jill, chose this soup during one of our supper clubs & I have loved it ever since. Not only is it so tasty...but extremely quick and easy. It's also a great lunch with a hunk of bread!
Great family dinner to serve a crowd. I've also used these herbs on a smaller chicken that I put in a crock pot all day!! Serve with Cauliflower and Stuffing!
A really good fall pasta dish. A fancy take on the fettuccine alfredo...but with toasted walnuts and creamy gorgonzola. Serve with a spinach salad.
Another quick weeknight supper that has all the flavor without all the fat.
Trying to get a fish recipe in every month! This is flavorful and easy with some bread or rice to soak up the mediterranean sauce!
Amy's Chili (see February, 2012 post)
I've done this in a crock pot, as well. Wonderfully seasoned apple cider serves as the gravy for this pork. yum.
Ham Steak and Pierogis-no recipe...just fry up a good ole ham steak and serve with fried pierogis and onions. mmm.
