Fig Salad #FallFlavors

 I love fresh figs.  Maybe they are special to me because they are only available for a few weeks each year, and I live in Michigan, where we don't grow figs.  True, I enjoy fig jam, fig newtons, and dried figs year-round, but I'm always excited when I find fresh ones at the market and eagerly pay a small fortune to bring home a case.

Today is the second day of Fall Flavors Week........

Sweet and Sour Chicken Meatballs #FallFlavors

Chicken Meatballs warmed in a homemade sweet-and-sour sauce studded with fresh bell peppers, served over a brown rice-quinoa blend for a perfect, quick, and easy fall dinner as the kids head back to school.

We are celebrating the Flavors of Fall this week..........

Thai Chicken Pasta Salad #SundayFunday

This colorful salad is tossed in a creamy, sweet, salty, spicy dressing.  It makes a perfect weeknight meal, takes less than 30 minutes to make, and the leftovers are perfect for packing for school or work lunches.

Dreaming of Fall in Piedmont and the Weekly Menu #ItalianFWT

We are celebrating Fall in Italy this month, and I have chosen to focus on Piedmont, Northern Italy, with a Ragu di Salsiccia and a bottle of Barbera d'Alba Superiore from Josetta Saffirio.

French Canadian Meatball Stew #EattheWorld

Tender, lightly spiced pork meatballs and potatoes in a savory, toasted-flour gravy, known in Quebec as Ragu de Boulettes, are a traditional French-Canadian dish.

This is the 100th month of our Eat the World challenge, and we thought we would celebrate by choosing a dish from our country of heritage instead of cooking from the same country as usual.

Sourdough Bagel Bites #BreadBakers

These Bagel Bites, made with sourdough starter, make a wonderful grab-and-go breakfast. I served them with garlic and Herb cheese as a snack.  They were a wonderful way to start a visit with friends.
