My Favorite Fall Flavors

by Lisa on October 11, 2012

If you happen to catch any of my tweets from Tuesday night you know that I accidentally spilled a glass of wine on my computer and was worried that I had killed it.  Well, good news! It came back and I was able to back up anything that I hadn’t recently backed up. Phew!
******************************************************************************

I have a really hard time choosing between summer and fall for which season has the better produce.  Summer produce often requires little to no preparation which is perfect in the hot weather but fall produce allows for more developed flavors.  So it’s safe to say that I’m excited that October is here.  I love to try new recipes but I also have some favorites that I fall back on. See what I did right there? Fall back on. Ha!  Anyways, here are some of my favorites!

Those are some of my favorites too! I can’t wait until Brussels sprouts start going on sale at the grocery store.

Thanks for posting this, Lisa. I am struggling with the transition from summer to fall foods. For some reason, I feel so uninspired by their flavors right now. Going to look into doing some crock pot stuff again soon.

Oh my, these all sound delicious!! My fall favs are apples, brussel sprouts and squash. But I have to admit, I’m not a huge fan of pumpkin!
