​My recent CSA share from Dreyer Farms, brought me a new challenge, mustard greens. I also received an acorn squash and more apples.

Recently, I made Acorn Squash with Apples, but as a food blogger, I felt I had to find another tempting recipe in which to prepare this delicious squash. My search led me to the website "The Real Food  Dietitians" and their recipe Herb-Roasted Parmesan Squash. This savory preparation offers you another option for a Thanksgiving side dish. Even better, is that it takes just five ingredients and preps in just 10 minutes. Besides the acorn squash you'll need, Parmesan cheese, fresh herbs, (suggested was thyme, sage, rosemary, oregano or a mix), butter, garlic powder, salt and pepper. As my garden is still doing well, I made a mix of all the suggested herbs and I used minced fresh garlic in lieu of garlic powder.

shaking things up

On a recent trip to Delicious Orchards, I picked up two small zucchini thinking I would bake zucchini muffins with cinnamon crunch topping, zucchini bread or a chocolate chip zucchini cake. In the end, I decided we didn’t’t need any sweets so I opted for a Frittata with Zucchini and Goat Cheese, a recipe from Williams-Sonoma. I thought it would make for a nice light supper and leftovers would be eaten for breakfast. The recipe takes 20 minutes to prep and 20 minutes to cook.
 
For the recipe you’ll need eggs, salt, unsalted butter, 2-3 small zucchini, fresh oregano leaves, fresh flat leaf parsley and goat cheese. The directions in the recipe assume that you have one of Williams-Sonoma’s frittata pans.  I don’t have one, but used my non-stick fry pan and cooked my eggs until I have incorporated them into the filling. Next, cover the pan with a lid until the eggs are set. To finish, I put the pan under the broiler to add color to the top. After removing from the oven, I run a spatula around the perimeter of the pan, place a large dish on top and invert the frittata onto the dish. I also try to slide the frittata out of the pan on to a platter.

​In the October 9-10th weekend edition of The Wall Street Journal, from the Slow Food Fast column, there appeared a recipe for Fried Eggplant with Sungold Tomatoes, Basil and Mozzarella. The recipe is from chef Joe Papach from The Harvey House in Madison, Wisconsin. This stunning restaurant is housed in the renovated Baggage Claim House at the Madison historic train depot and the restaurant features Midwest favorites, but with a twist by Chef Papach.

​Recently Whole Foods had a great special on Bell&Evans skinless, boneless chicken breasts for $2.99/lb. One can never have enough chicken on hand, nor enough recipes in which to change this blank canvas into a new masterpiece. For our Sunday supper, I found an interesting recipe on the website Epicurious for Magic Crispy Chicken. The premise is that with less than 10 ingredients, this recipe comes out very crispy. I must say that mine was not crispier than other recipes I’ve made.  I did to pulse the panko crumbs finer in my food processor; perhaps that made a difference? However, the flavor was delicious.

​Appearing in the October 2021 issue of “Southern Living Magazine” was a terrific one pan meal perfect for cool fall evenings, Skillet Turkey Meatloaves with Mushroom Gravy. For the recipe you’ll need ground turkey, yellow onion, panko breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, extra-virgin olive oil, fresh garlic, fresh thyme leaves, kosher salt, black pepper, Brussels sprouts, carrots, butter, cremini mushrooms, all-purpose flour and chicken stock. In place of the cremini mushrooms, I substituted white mushrooms.

The autumn season began September 22nd and I am behind in posting…again! Now that the cooler weather is upon us, I came across some delicious and easy dishes to prepare. Here’s a listing of what I’ve made: Molasses-Glazed Roast Pork with Sweet Potatoes, Spice-Rubbed Spatchcock Chicken, Skillet Hot Honey Chicken with Heart Greens, Lasagna with Roasted Eggplant, Apple Galette and Philly Style Stuffed Peppers. I selected these recipes based on their ease and reviews from other cooks as to how the meal turned out.
 
The Molasses-Glazed Roast Pork with Sweet Potatoes had the flavors of fall and, best of all, was a sheet pan meal! I found the recipe on the Williams-Sonoma website. I wanted to prepare one meal that could easily serve not only my husband and I, but that I could share with son and daughter-in-law, who are new parents. A boneless pork tenderloin fit the bill. For the ingredients you’ll need 2 pork tenderloins, light molasses, Dijon mustard, fresh garlic rosemary, red pepper flakes, orange-fleshed sweet potatoes, olive oil, a shallot and chicken broth. The molasses, mustard, rosemary and red pepper flakes make the glaze. ​
