happy october.
. . .
. . .
my mind may still be in july (oh, summer, why'd you have to leave?)
but my appetite is definitely in the present season. to me, the tastes
of autumn are the most comforting: mulled apple cider, piping hot chicken
pot pies, roasted parsnips and fennel, warm pumpkin
bread with cream cheese, baked apples with rolled oats, cinnamon, & brown
sugar...mmm...i could make this list go on for days. :)
. . .
for dinner last monday i tried a stuffed acorn squash recipe from the the apple lover's cookbook
by amy traverso. my intention was to use the remaining apples from
the previous week's apple picking excursion as well as incorporate a seasonal vegetable to the meal.
the filling consisted of sauteed apples & onions, walnuts, and
crispy pancetta. (i added to the recipe by mixing in some wild rice.)
just before serving, the stuffed squash halves were topped with gorgonzola
cheese & panko breadcrumbs and placed under the broiler for a few
minutes.
the outcome was delicious! the sweet and savory flavors in this dish were quite delectable. i was a happy eater. :)
