I'm a huge fan of seasonal cooking. By this I mean that I have special recipes I only pull out and make in the winter, spring, summer or fall... (all you have to do is call... and I'll be theeeere!) Sorry... I digress.Anyway today was wonderfully chilly and crisp, and it inspired me to put It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown! on for Bennett and make a fall-inspired meal for dinner tonight.
Tonight's meal was:
Buttermilk Baked Chicken
with Mashed Sweet Potatoes and Oven Roasted Applesauce*
It was an Autumnly Amazing!
To make the sweet potatoes, just peel, boil and mash a few sweet potatoes. Then add a little milk or cream, butter, honey and cinnamon. YUM!
*For the applesauce, I skip the whole "food mill" step at the end (sometimes Martha can take things one step too far. I love you Martha, really I do... but seriously... a food mill?! Who has time for that?) Anyway, after the apples are good and soft, I just grab a good old potato masher and go to town. We like our applesauce a little chunky. Or you could pop it in the food processor too!
Another one of my favorite fall meals is Rachael Ray's Open-Faced Hot Turkey Sandwiches with sausage stuffing and apple-cranberry sauce. Can I get a Yum-o?!
More fall recipes to come...
In the meantime, go make some hot apple cider, jump in a pile of leaves and try out these delish seasonal recipes!
You are amazing! Would you like to cater a meal for me? EVERY meal? :)
ReplyDeleteThese recipes sound awesome. I'm making one next week.
