The Food

Week of September 15, 2013

Can you smell it? Fall is seeping into the air and while our days have been rather warm and even stuffy at times, the mornings are brisk and contemplating the season’s change. What a beautiful week to welcome the Autumn Equinox. I love this transition when the summer produce becomes fall harvest and our food reflects this state of in-between.

Starting with the more summer leaning dishes try the Jalapeño Fish with Spicy Couscous and Cantaloupe Salsa. That Spicy Couscous is a perfect lunch date especially with the Grilled Zucs & Peaches Meanwhile, the Cantaloupe Salsa is lovely with the Sweet Potato Latkes and Mexican Beans for a bit of native flair for breakfast.

The grill is of course still fun to use this time of year. Slap on Cajun Rubbed Chicken with Grilled Okra and pair with a bright Watermelon Salad. Extra cajun spice makes for an exciting breakfast of the Cajun Egg Sandwich with a Blueberry Smoothie.

The Parmesan Grilled Eggplant with the Grilled Garlic Bread and the Grilled Zucchini & Peach Salad is a different combination well worth eating while the ingredients are available.

This time of year also means I am more willing to turn on the oven and creating this Roasted Salsa and the Chili Cheese Egg Bake is more common.

Sweet potatoes are becoming more prominent and stuffing them into the Mexican Black Bean Stuffed Sweet Potatoes makes them a full meal.

More sweet potatoes are perfect in the Fig & Sweet Potato Quinoa with the Creamy Ginger Kale Salad.

Happy First Day of Autumn! Celebrate with me on Pinterest, Facebook and Twitter.

Cook seasonally. Eat consciously. Live well,

Chef Lilly
