After this long, hot summer, the cool breezes have finally arrived- at least for awhile! This week is not only cooler, but there might even be a little frost at night. Since I will be busy enjoying this beautiful weather and cooking up some comfort foods the next few days, here’s a preview of some things I just might be making.
Hot tea is a must!
Maybe some Irish coffee…
Or cappuccino…
Munch on some homemade potato chips
Or have a hot bowl of hearty soup…
with some warm bread and sandwiches..
Or a warm farro salad.
A shrimp pizza!
Or pure comfort foods like….
Meat loaf…
…. with warm and creamy mashed potatoes
OR
Meatballs!
Beef stew
More meatballs!
And, of course…..
Mac and Cheese
And there has to be chocolate chip cookies…
So what’s for dinner??
We’re starting to get the first hints of fall here, which also has me in the mood for similar foods. Tonight’s dinner is roast with leeks, carrots, potatoes, cremini mushrooms, herbs, and red wine. Chili is in my weekend plans. Pork roast with pumpernickel gravy. Anything with apples. Lots of soup.
Or I could skip cooking and just show up on your doorstep.
I think we need to have a weekend cooking blitz together and share meals!
My house or yours?
We will make it happen someday! Or if we don’t cook, we’ll go to NEXT.
