Sometimes, life is a jerk, the world is on fire and sucks, and I feel helpless and sad. Then I remember I am capable of making bananas foster, and then I feel a little more ok again. :)

It's Fall, so it's SOUP WEATHER! I don't care what the temperature is, it's soup weather...

Cream of zucchini, potato, & gruyère soup, garnished with pine nuts
Roasted pork tenderloin with tart cherry, apple, walnut sauce
Garlic & fresh oregano crostini

With autumn here, I'm using yet MORE autumn ingredients, many straight from my garden.
Pictured: Herbed, radish gruyère risotto, with a side of roasted seasoned sweet potato, and a glass of Deerfield Ranch chard.
Was DELISH!

It's OCTOBER! I, for one, celebrate this month with PIEROGIES!

Pictured: homemade steak & cheese pierogis, cooked in butter, topped with caramelized shallots. Served w/sour cream & homemade pickles.

What's YOUR October craving?
