Fall/14 recipes

A hearty beef stew served over mashed potatoes - a cold weather delight!

A lower carb twist on a Thanksgiving tradition. No crust! And a tasty pecan and candied ginger streusel topping.

Baked in a flavorful white wine and cilantro sauce, tons flavor is packed into fish during the baking, and it comes out juicy, tender and falls apart.

Wintry spices make this a rich, creamy, and flavorful holiday favorite!

Tangy and tasty salad that combines fall/winter fruit and beets with a creamy dressing. Feel free to use canned or pickled beets in place of the fresh beets to save time.

A cozy and comfy miso stew is ideal for cool fall and cold winter. Sweet potato, tofu (or you can use cooked chicken or pork meat instead), and mushrooms are browned with garlic, ginger and scallions first to maximize the deliciousness, then simmered in a miso based soup. Warms you up in a second!

A nice Autumn flavor to these light muffins. The optional sugar topping makes a more crispy crust. To make these more diabetic friendly, I used Splenda for half of the sugar. Feel free to use all brown sugar.

These delicious rolls are made from phyllo pastry, and they are so elegant and pretty to be gifts too.

This much quicker and easier to prepare version of the classic Eggs Benedict. Reduced fat but equally as decadent as the original. This is a variation of a vegetarian version of the same recipe, see links below.

Easy Crockpot Beef Stew with Root Vegetables and Peas recipe

There are lots of good-for-you stuff in this stew, and it's also very tasty. A deliciously warm stew is perfect on a cool fall day.

Very easy prep, the meat literally falls apart it's so tender. The horseradish sauce adds a bit of kick to tender beef short ribs.

I didn't like acorn squash so much in the past, but now I'm converted by this delicious soup. It was loaded with great flavor, and I couldn't stop eating it. I think butternut squash should work too. Have saved the recipe into my recipe box, and also sent it to my mom who loves squash soup.

During the fall and winter I make homemade soup once a week. I’ve got dozens of delicious soup recipes, but the Pizza Soup was the favorite of our sons, Keith and Mark. It’s really easy to make. I apologize for the inexact quantities, but this is another recipe that I’ve never written down…and haven’t made it since last winter! I’ve given the basic recipe, but don’t be afraid to add other items you enjoy on your pizza…including a dash of red pepper sauce!
