Seasoned Greetings!
October is all about fall. Whether you are embracing the late harvest in a clever salad or warming yourself heart and soul with your favorite comfort foods, autumn gives us many opportunities to enjoy the last of the season's warmth while preparing for colder days ahead:
Big Flavors Mixed Veggies
Have a friend or family member who wrinkles their nose when vegetables make their way to the table? Even those that tend to be picky about eating their veggies tend to love this dish. An Asian-inspired take on seasonal vegetables makes a great accompaniment to dinner tonight!
Katsu-Style Shrimp with Sriracha-Honey Sauce
If you like crispy shrimp and turning up the heat, this one's for you. A seasoned panko mixture coats tender shrimp and a spicy-sweet sauce get drizzled over the top with more on the side for those brave enough to dip!
Fall Bounty Chicken Salad
Main dish salads become absolutely stunning in fall. In this one, tender chicken gets paired with everything the season has to offer: from crisp cucumbers and peppers to sweet cherry tomatoes and corn fresh off the cob. This bright and healthy salad is a treat to look at and an even bigger treat to eat!
Cherry Almond Scones
Take fresh cherries to the brunch buffet table with tender scones. And while you're at it, recapture your childhood by ditching the forks or pastry blender and roll up your sleeves. The best way to mix these amazing breakfast treats is with your hands!
Instant Pot BBQ Ribs
October is an excellent time to embrace sweet, smokey, spicy ribs. And if you don't have a lot of time for slow-roasting, grab your Instant Pot and discover the joy that is digging into a plate of ribs in the middle of the week!

Oven Toasted Ravioli
Tender ravioli get the oven toasting treatment. Make things easy with my often-used mayonnaise and cracker crumb breading method and have these tasty morsels ready to do duty as appetizers or the main course in half an hour.
Caramel Apple Bars
Apples and cinnamon star with a healthy application of creamy caramel in this bars inspired by one of fall's favorites: caramel apples. Add a few slivered almonds and you've just found your best go-to dessert recipe for autumn!
