My Top 10 Fall Inspired Meals

The air is crisp, leaves are changing and here in Seattle it has turned grey and is raining. I love this time of the year, rain or no rain. It is one of my favorite food times. All the winter squash are ready, you get to mix sweet and savory and the crock pot get dusted off. There are some standard foods that come to mind that we can not go the season without. They become a part of our weekly rotations. Below are some of my favorites but you can find all on my Fall Meals Pinterest Board.


1. Stuffed Butternut Squash




2. Wild Rice and Acorn Squash




3. Kale and White Bean Soup




4. Peas and Cornbread




5. Beef Stew




6. Braised Lamb




7. Spaghetti Squash




8. Apples and Pork




9. Sweet Potatoes




10. Chicken Noodle Soup

Fresh From the Garden | Caprese Salad

Before the leaves start to turn and we see our last days of Summer in Washington we harvested our garden. With our basil and tomato harvest  from our first garden we made a bright and delicious Caprese salad with fresh bufala mozzarella cheese and Texas Olive Oil.

 

Seattle tomatoes and Texas Oil, made a great combo.

The Washington State Fair | 2013

Living in Washington 3 years now we have yet to visit the State Fair. Coming from Texas this fair has some Big Tex Boots to fill. We ate some great food, saw some cute animals and had a great time. ( There was no rain).

Next Year: We must try a scone. There were as many scone stands as text has corn dog stands. Everyone told us that was the iconic eatery of the fair.

FOOD FROM THE FAIR

Lobster Hot Dog.

 



Fries from the famous Earthquake Burgers. Next year we must try the $16 burger.

 And then a stop as the Whiskey Bar. A crown for my Dad, he must be rubbing off on me.

 

 

ANIMALS OF THE FAIR

The cutest, fastest goat. We called him Winston.

More Goats!

Local bees making honey.

Draft Horse

The smallest Draft Horse. Shetland Pony's.

IT ALL ENDS WITH A RAINBOW
