Fall for Food--October 5, 2017


October features many fun and fabulous flavors! Pumpkins, apples, cinnamon, sweet potatoes, nutmeg, and much more! We focused on this theme for our October meeting of Recipe Club. We had lots of soups, stews, and chili!


Trudy made a moist and delicious Apple Fritter Bread. With cinnamon and apples, there are two quintessential fall flavors!


I made Chai Apple Butter. A scrumptious spread for bread or muffins, it has some essential Chai spice flavors--cardamum, cinnamon, and ginger. It was made easy by just throwing everything into a slow cooker.


Jan made the hearty Cowboy Stew. with beef, potatoes, onions, and beans, this is a filling dish for dinner on cold autumn nights! 


Karen brought Sweet Potato and Pear Soup. This soup has a perfect blend of sweet and savory with the apples and sweet potatoes. The white grape juice also adds some sweetness to this soup.


Holly made Pumpkin Caramel Cream Cheese Poke Cake. A perfect cake for the fall, and its loaded with pumpkin and spice and everything nice! Canned pumpkin and a boxed spice cake mix make this easy to whip up in a flash. 


Mary brought a Black Bean and Pumpkin Chili. It's a Taste of Home recipe that's good and hearty. Loaded with pumpkin and beans, this is a filling recipe for cold fall nights.


Margaret brought Party Meat Balls. These tasty appetizers are perfect for watching football in the fall, or for any parties! The sauce is easy to make by just combining grape jelly and chili sauce.


I'm getting used to having carrot cake at our meetings! Cherryl brought a delicious and moist Carrot Cake this time. It's easy to make and has the best cream cheese frosting.


Anna brought Zuppa Di Salsiccia Con Pasta E Cannellini (Sausage Soup with Pasta and Cannellini Beans). A warming soup with Italian flavor that uses cannelini beans and escarole for the greens. 


Christ brought Spiced Tea. With nutmeg, cinnamon, and allspice, this iced tea is perfect for fall.


Pat brought an Apple Crisp. And it has an oatmeal topping, and is easy to make!
