Despite what the thermometer might be reading outside (it's as warm as July here in LA!), fall officially arrived over the weekend. The Autumnal Equinox was on September 22 at 9 pm PST. Though we might still be clinging to those late "summer" tomatoes and trying to figure out what to do with all that zucchini, some folks are zoomin ahead in the kitchen with autumn-inspired dishes. Here are some of our favorites from around the blogosphere:
- There's nothing like a stack of waffles smothered in a spicy pear sauce, topped with maple whipped cream, drizzled with maple syrup and sprinkled with sugar to warm up on a chilly fall morning.
- If breakfast has to be on-the-go, Cinnamon Dots has Chocolate Pumpkin Muffins.
- Keeping with the "quick" bread theme, La Tartine Gourmand bakes an Autumnal Squash Harvest Loaf inspired by Macrina Bakery.
- Elise at Simply Recipes does a hearty soup - White Bean and Vegetable Soup
- The Wednesday Chef does Amy Scattergood's Carrot and Pomegranate Soup , laced with pomegranate molasses she picked up at Zabar's
- Eating Leeds roasts a partridge with bacon and serves it with PInot Noir.
- Boston Dreams and Michelin Stars damns the Indian summer and goes full speed ahead with Coq au Vin
- Apple pie might sound like a summer BBQ, but over in Holland, Stirway to Heaven's Dutch Apple Cake sure looks and sounds like fall.
