Every time my dad opened a fortune cookie, he would read it and yell out, "you're getting lucky tonight!" --- Don't know if it came true, but it was sure embarassing for me as a teenager!

So many good ones listed... I adore pears with prosciutto... apple pie, tart tatin, chunky-spicy apple sauce, or fresh pressed apple cider... and what about pomegranates? Love the root vegs, like turnips and parsnips, too... those are all no-brainers for me! Chard sauteed with wild mushrooms and onions??? MMMmmmm...

But... I think I'm going to have to jump on the squash bandwagon. Whether it be pumpkin, acorn, butternut or whatever, so-called "winter squash" is just awesome! So yummy, so nutritious, so versatile... Pureed into soups, cooked with beans into hearty veg stews or casseroles, curried, roasted, whipped... season it savory, season it sweet... bake a custard or a pie or timbales... and let us not forget my famous "punkin" bread!

Squash is really one of earth's perfect foods!

Apples, for sure. I eat them raw or bake them with sugar and cinnamon.

I love doing a variation on himmel und erde with squashes/pumpkin subbing for the potatoes.

I also roast chunks of winter squash with just a bit of oil and salt, maybe some herbs. It can be a side dish. You can mash it. I've added chunks of meat and taken it in a box for lunch. It can be part of a sandwich filling. All sorts of options. You can make it sweet as well, but I like the savory cooking method because the squash gets so sweet as it roasts.

I found a new favorite fall ingredient at the farmers market a while ago. They had the greatest eggplants there for dirt cheap so I decided to try my hand at making eggplant parmesan and it came out AWESOME!

I like using acorn squash and apples in the fall. My favorite fall dish is meatloaf! Then I bake some acorn squash on the side and fry some apples. Yum, yum, yum!
