September Feasts

Even with some wild work schedules, and round 2 of “the Summer cold,” we managed to squeeze in some yummy eats and treats in September. Flavor profiles are starting to shift, as what is fresh and available changes, and it won’t be long before soups and other rich comfort foods hit the menu. Until then, we’ll keep blending the seasonal flavors and see where it takes us.

We tried a new restaurant that specializes in paninis, and they did not disappoint.
Those fries were especially delicious. Ready to go back!
Sometimes you need a restaurant salad, and both of these were amazing.
Fancy sandwiches are still happening.
Mexican will always be on rotation, this time a “kale taco salad”
with homemade guacamole and homemade salsa.
A moment of silence for the last pesto of the year.
We cooked the first pot of our Tiger Eye beans!
They were extremely delicious, especially with Canadian bacon.

Although I am deeply saddened by the end of pesto season, I am excited about the return of kale and sweet potatoes; savory soups served with crusty cheese toast. And our beans! To think that we grew those beans ourselves, and to have them turn out so very delicious: I’m impressed!

What flavors are you excited for as we transition into Fall?

  1. Everything looks delicious! I’m especially happy to see your beans in action – they look amazing! I love acorn squash, so I’m excited about that. It’s finally cool enough that I don’t mind turning on the oven!

    • Ohmigoodness, those beans turned out SO good! We’re already trying to figure out how we can maximize space and grow even more next year, haha 🙂
      Yes! I’m so ready to get back into baking more often! I haven’t had acorn squash in years – butternut either – but may have to change that. I keep seeing the most delicious looking recipes for them both 🙂

    • If I can make you hungry, then I’ve done my job well 😉 LOL

      Mmm, cinnamon! Yes! And it’ll be so nice to have hot drinks without sweating again, lol… I’ve kept drinking my coffee, but I want to try some “fancy” hot drinks, and those need cooler temps for sure 🙂

      • Where I’m from in India, we don’t actually have cooler temperatures even in December.. the proper freezing sorts. So I turn on the AC and pretend it’s winters to enjoy some of those decadent drinks. 🙈 Sometimes it’s slightly chilly early in the morning and very late in the night but I’m mostly sleeping at those hours lol

  5. Those paninis look lovely, I do love a toasted sandwich. The salads look great too, especially that chicken one. Its a shame that pesto will come to an end for you but I’m really looking forward to soups and stews as the weather gets colder. Hopefully I’ll make a pumpkin pie for Halloween too 🤞 I look forward to seeing what you try over the new season, especially from your homegrown produce.

    • There’s something extra special and delicious about a toasted sandwich/panini! I really should make them more often at home – I have a grill press.
      Yes, soup season will be a good replacement for the missing pesto, haha
