Autumn-Spiced Pumpkin Shortbread

A Perfect Autumn treat! Serve with ice cream for a fantastic dessert.

"Delicious autumn!  My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns."  ~George Eliot

Grilled Corn & Potato Chowder

If you live in an area where sweet corn is grown, now is the time for this soup.  It has a wonderful smoky flavor and a slight bit of spice.  Goes great with a creamy bottle of chardonnay.

Walnut Oatmeal Pancakes

Very filling and very easy pancakes

Sour Cream & Chives Egg Bake

There is no real recipe for this as it is however many you want and how many you are cooking for.

Tomato Orzo Soup

This one is not for guests but for my hard-working comrades.  A grown-up version of a childhood comfort staple.  Serve with a grilled cheese sandwich on multigrain bread and you've got yourself a healthy, vegetarian lunch (NOW GO LOCK THE FRONT DOOR AND CHOW DOWN BEFORE YOUR EARLY CHECK-INS SHOW UP)!!

Bread Pudding

This is a good fast morning breakfast because the "scut" work is done the night before. Use white, whole wheat, French, english Muffin bread - whatever you have on hand and "stale" is great for this. I have been usind a can of sliced peaches abd reserving 2 or 3 similar-sized slices for garnish with a marschino cherry. Serve the vanilla yogurt on the side for guests to decide how much - I like it slathered!

Spinach Bake

This is quick and easy to make. It is also and easy one to play around with for your own tastes. Original recipe calls for 2 pkgs spinach - I use one.

Poor Man's Caviar

Serve with assorted crackers. You will not want to share.

Gluten-free Belgian Style Waffles of Insane Greatness

You can thank me now...

This is Willow Pond's adaptation of Waffles of Insane Greatness, your other guests will not know the difference, so it's waffles for one and all! They are light and crispy and insanely great!
