With September comes the fall harvest. This means fresh pumpkin, corn, squash, and apples make their way to farmer’s markets and grocery store shelves. These foods are so versatile: not only can they be used for eating, but they also combine to make awesome fall decorations. This week the Renaissance Place Apartments Blog is sharing some tasty fall food recipes for members of our apartment community here in Williamsville, NY to try out.
Pumpkin Recipes
Pumpkin Soup is not for everyone, but if you’re a fan, you will love this recipe from “The Pioneer Woman Cooks” blog.
Pumpkin Spice Truffles are made with a short list of ingredients, are simple to make, and pack a powerful flavor punch. Yum!
Corn Recipes
Hominy is made from a variety of flint corn, and this colorful, veggie-filled recipe, Fiesta Chicken w/ Spanish Rice features hominy.
If you are feeling adventurous and you have a full afternoon on your hands, try these beef tamales. If you want the tamale taste but you don’t have a lot of time, try this quick and easy Hot Tamale Pie.
Squash Recipes
After taking a look at all of the options available on allrecipes.com, we couldn’t choose just a few, so take a look at all of these squash recipes and try one this month! However, we absolutely had to share this Candied Acorn Squash recipe, which the author calls a delicious side dish almost as good as dessert.
Apple Recipes
Apple Coleslaw is a healthy way to use up apples from the farmer’s market. Allrecipes.com has this to say about the recipe: “Simple, sweet coleslaw that is a great accompaniment to pork-apple burgers or pork sandwiches. You can serve it immediately, but it's best when refrigerated overnight allowing the flavors to blend.”
Another recipe from allrecipes.com, these Apple Brownies are a flavorful dessert for something a little different. The recipe contributor shares this about the recipe: “This was my Mom’s recipe. Easy and quick to make. Apples and walnuts are packed into a [cinnamon-spiced] blonde brownie. Always a hit when I bring it to parties. Very moist and great to make in the fall when apples are plentiful.”
