Braised Chicken with Capers – A Cozy Fall Dinner

There’s something homey about chicken for dinner, especially with fall in the air. This recipe from Bon Appetit is simple enough that you can make it for a weeknight dinner, or enjoy it around the dining table with family and friends on a Saturday night.

Black Truffle Mashed Potatoes – A Memorable Side Dish

Sometimes nothing goes better with dinner than a side of mashed potatoes. And, thanks to our friend Jessica, we have some black truffle oil that really makes this dish amazing. This isn’t a dainty side dish, but it’s great for special occasions and putting some meat on your bones.

Fall Comfort Food – Herb-Trio Sausage Pot Pie

When the weather turns rainy, the smell of pot pie makes your house smell so cozy. And this is borderline fall.

Start the way so many good things start: 2 carrots, 2 celery, an onion, half a russet potato, and some herbs. We used rosemary, thyme, and sage from the garden.

Saute the onions in olive oil on medium heat until they start to relax, then add the rest of the chopped vegetables and let them cook down. Splash in some red wine to help the process (red wine helps everything), and chop up the herbs and toss those in, too. Include two of your favorite sausage, chopped into rounds (we like the vegetarian ones).
