What I am thinking about this week...

It would be hard not to draw inspiration from this gorgeous weather. Fall always calls out to me with its golden light and foliage, and I love to echo these notes in what I cook. There is some sort of divine affinity between the fruits of the earth and the orchard, pears and butternut squash, pecans and walnuts that calls out for the lingering warmth of ginger and cinnamon to complete it.

So in this spirit, here is a Fall menu:
*Pumpkin and spice bread
*Cream of mushroom soup
*Butternut squash risotto
*Roast pork with fresh sage
*Snap Beans
*Pear and ginger crisp
