Autumn, as the air becomes cooler the colors become warmer. Especially the deep orange of squash, brown & white mushrooms and brilliant red apples.
This is the time to look for colorful organic
& local grapes freshly coming off the vine. Grapes often seem available year round, but they are typically shipped to us from the Southern Hemisphere. Enjoy purple or green in the Roasted Chicken with Grapes. The next day, shred and chunk the chicken. Toss with dressing, nuts and more fresh grapes for a Sonoma Chicken Salad.
As I mentioned last week, mushroom festivals are all around us. Load up on a big pile of your favorite various mushrooms and make this delightful creation of a Savory Mushroom Crumble. Pair it with an Apple-Blue Cheese Salad to complete the meal.
Purchase a gorgeous chunk of blue cheese and use it for a second salad in the week, the Creamy Blue Pear Salad.
The start of autumn means many of us are still getting a few tomatoes, basil and more. Put the Italian herb to beautiful use in the final part of their season in a Pesto to drizzle on the Pesto Spaghetti Squash. Next tear the basil into pieces in the Tomato-Basil Scramble and shred it onto the Tomato Plate.
Cabbage is around for many of us this fall. Whether it is red, green or an Asian-style napa cabbage, try the Asian Peanut Slaw for a high protein salad to take on the go. Pad Thai with its glassy noodles, sweet & savory sauce is also one of my favorite places to toss in long stripes of cabbage. I love Pad Thai with Shrimp, but tofu is also a great substitute for a vegan option.
Take this week’s harvest and stew it up with beans and spices until it becomes simple lusciousness. Pair this end of summer Harvest Chili with easy Corncakes. If they are still available to you, toss together Cucumbers & Melon for a delightful side to the hearty chili dish. Try the Corncakes for breakfast as well paired with a generous scoop of Ginger Pears.
Keep seeking out fresh options whether they are end of season tomatoes, basil and melons or autumn’s apples, pears and squash.
