I'm making minestrone for the first time in months. Tons of great produce in the shops and the weather is right for it. You? |

I am going to make scalloped potatoes, ham and carrots this week, along with an apple pie. I need the ham bone to make a hot pea soup that my grandmother used to make. Now all I have to find is her cheese buiscuit recipe. |

I love parsnip dishes. I used to refuse to eat them because my grandmother drowned them in water and boiled them to a mush. My mil served them cooked just right with carrots in the same pot and chopped into smallish pieces, then buttered. I was amazed at how much I enjoyed them and began searchin parsnip recipes. I still love the carrots and parsnips with a roast. |

Fall has always meant for me Brussels Sprouts and Acorn Squash...but both are getting as expensive as GOLD thesee days. All through the 70's and 80's I would buy Brussels Sprouts at my favorite greengrocer for $.25 a pound every October and November and I would serve them 3 times a week. The last time I bought them they cost me $2.99 a pound. That's CRIMINAL. So now I pretty much do without. |

Brussel sprouts are at their best at this time of year, hard to resist! |

Has it really been frosty enough there to make them sweet, yet? Oh and the sprouts get sweeter too, as well as kale. Funny how that is. Edited by Dana, Sep 20 2012, 03:41 AM.

I have a ton of Brussel sprouts in our garden which I have never cooked before. Anyone have a good recipe for them that they have personally tried? My favorite fall recipes involve roasting veggies with garlic and olive oil: parsnips, carrots, onions, peppers, winter and summer squashes...all together. |

That looks like a good idea for people who don't like sprouts, but the real treat is simply to steam them or cook them in boiling water (cut a cross in the bottom, helps to cook faster because of course you don't want to overcook) and serve with butter and pepper. |
