what is your favorite autumn recipe and/or food? This is one of my favorites (and SO simple):
Hot Caramel Apple Cider:
Warm apple cider and a stick or two of cinnamon in a saucepan on the stove top. Ladle into mugs and stir in some caramel sauce. Enjoy!
So easy, but you will love the taste!! I'll have to go through my recipes for some more favorites...

This is one of my favorite autumn recipes. It's from my 90 yo grandma. It's called Poor Man's Cake because its from the day when eggs and butter were expensive and nuts and raisins were affordable. It just tastes like autumn. I love cooking in the fall. Everything tastes better to me.
Poor Man's Cake
3 cups flour
2 cups water
1/3 cup shortening
1/2 lb. raisins
1 cup brown sugar
1 t cinnamon
1 t cloves
1 t baking soda
1/2 t baking powder
1 cup walnuts
Grease and flour angel food or tube pan. Heat oven to 325. Place water, shortening, raisins, sugar, cinnamon and cloves in saucepan over medium heat. Cook to boiling and boil for 5 minutes. Cool completely. Mix flour and baking powder in a large bowl. Dissolve baking soda in 1 t. water. Add raisin mixture and baking soda mixture to flour mixture. Add nuts. Bake for 1 hour. Frost with butter or cream cheese frosting.

Probably my favorite is Pumpkin Pie. Yummy, and makes me think of Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner. The other is Aspargus and Tasso.
Gaga's Pumpkin Pie
1 15 oz. can pumpkin or 15 oz. prepared fresh pumpkin
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg beaten
10 oz. evaporated milk
1/2 tsp. ginger
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 pie shell - ginger snap crust is yummy.
nutmeg for grating
Whisk first six ingredients together and pour into unbaked pie shell. Place on cookie sheet or foil. Bake in 350 degree oven for 1 hour or until a knife inserted comes out clean. Serve warm or cold with or without vanilla ice cream. Receipe from Yankee magazine, December 1998.
Roasted Aspargus and Tasso - from Emeril's staff
1-2 Tblsp Olive Oil
4 oz. Tasso - 1/8 inch cubes
2-3 Tblsp minced shallots
1 1/2 - 2 lbs Asparagus speers trimmed
Sea Salt
Fresh Ground Black Pepper
Parmesan Shavings
Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees.
In large skillet, heat oil over medium high heat. Add Tasso and cook, stirring constantly for 2-3 minutes. Add shallots & cook until softened, about 1 minute. Add Asparagus, toss to coat for about 2 minutes. Transfer to roasting pan or dish. Season with salt and pepper. Roast Asparagus until crisp tender, turning occasionally for 15-20 minutes. Remove from oven and top with parmesan shavings. Serve warm.
Yummy!

Any substitutions for tasso? I love it but doubt I can get it at the markets in Columbus, Ohio. Would prosciutto or baked ham work?

My new favorite I just made up is garden omlette's
Diced onion, squash,pepper,tomatoes. Add basil garlic and chives. Fresh ground pepper to taste.
saute in butter til just lightly cooked. Whip up a couple fresh eggs in a saute pan pour in the eggs and set for an omlette, put 1/3 cup of veggies on top, add goat cheese and fold in half. Cover until eggs are done. This is perfect with MJ's foccacia bread.
I saved the left over filling to add to my spaghetti.

I had to google tasso as well; and found a great ham website:
http://www.foodsubs.com/MeatcureHams.html
Describes tasso = tasso ham Notes: This is a heavily smoked ham with a spicy, peppery rind. It's often used in Cajun dishes. Substitutes: smoked ham OR Canadian bacon
I am going to try the asparagus and tasso recipe...yum!

I'm not sure why this recipe makes me think of fall, but I really enjoy stuffed peppers once autumn hits. Some ground beef and rice, spagetti sauce and garlic, all stuffed into a par-cooked green pepper. Sprinkle with some mozzarella and parmesan then bake. Oh so comforting and tasty!

I was just going through my recipe book and found another favorite fall recipe (I could never have just one). And, of course, I always go for desserts. It's really rich, so you don't need much - great for a crowd.
Pumpkin Upside Down Cake
3 eggs
2 cans (1 lb. size) pumpkin
1 ¼ cup sugar
1 t nutmeg
½ t ginger
2 t cinnamon
1 can (12 oz.) evaporated milk
1 pkg yellow cake mix
¾ cup melted butter or margarine
1 cup chopped walnuts, if desired
Whipped Cream
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Make filling: in medium bowl, lightly beat eggs. Add pumpkin, sugar, spices and evaporated milk. Stir until well combined.
Pour into an ungreased 9 x 13-inch dish. Sprinkle dry cake mix over filling evenly. Drizzle butter evenly over cake mix. Bake for 30 minutes.
Remove from oven and add walnuts if desired. Bake an additional 30 minutes or until topping in golden brown. Cool completely and serve with whipped cream. |

When fall comes I like to make pies. Of course apple and pumpkin, but for a change I'll substitue red Kuri squash in my pumpkin pie recipe. I think they are also known as red Lakota and red Hubbard. They are not usually found in stores, but rather at farm stands. Look like a small hubbard but red. AND you don't have to peal them. Just leave the peeling on and grind up. It makes for pretty flecks in the pie. The flavor is richer than pumpkin.

Here is another really delicious recipe that is one of my favorites:
Swedish Apple Pie
2 1/2 c peeled, cored and sliced apples
1 t ground cinnamon
1 t white sugar
1 c white sugar
3/4 c butter, melted
1/2 c chopped pecans
1 c all-purpose flour
1 egg, lightly beaten
pinch of salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9 inch pie with butter. Fill 2/3 of the pan with sliced apples. Sprinkle with cinnamon and 1 tsp of sugar. In a medium bowl, mix 1 cup sugar with the melted butter. Stir in pecans, flour, egg and salt. Mix well. Spread mixture over the apples. Bake in preheated oven for 65 minutes, or until golden brown.
The mixture that you spread over the apples is very thick and but when it cooks it spreads throughout the apples and holds it all together. SOOO GOOD!!
Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves, for they shall never cease to be amused.
