We officially moved into fall a couple of weeks ago, and the fall season always makes me think about those comfort food recipes that I have not made for a while. So, today, I thought that I would share with you some of my favorite fall recipes! Let’s head off to my recipe box, shall we?
A really good soup comes to mind, and there is nothing like taking the leftover rotisserie ham and making a navy bean soup. For some reason using the rotisserie ham gives this soup a bit of smokiness. The trick to this soup is adding 5 of the chili de arbol for a background kick. Also running a couple of cups of the soup through the blender gives it a lovely natural thickness due to the beans…
Navy Bean SoupAnother dish that I have not made all summer is short ribs. It is the slow cooking process in a dutch oven, plus the use of a really good beer that makes this dish!
Short RibsYou know that I love bacon, and a really good fall dish is bacon wrapped pork loin chops served up with mashed potatoes, and a late summer green vege! The touch of rosemary inside the wrapped chop makes this dish amazing!
Pork Loin ChopsAs the nights get cold, there is nothing more comforting to the belly than a macaroni and cheese! The secret to making a great mac ‘n cheese is a really good white sauce. Once you come up with that white sauce, you can play around with it by adding different things…I once made one with a combo of blue and jack cheese. Then I topped it off with blue cheese and roasted honeyed walnuts…This photo is one that I usually make using leftover rotisserie ham and Tillamook medium cheddar!
Barb’s Mac n Cheese with HamOne final recipe…How about a lovely Chicken Cordon Bleu? Bernaise sauce makes this dish, plus using a really good cheese inside your little chicken bundles. The trick in this recipe is to keep the cheese from oozing out! Doesn’t this look good?

Hi Barb,
We will be getting into our fall foods very soon now as the leaves are turning and the temperature is starting to fall.
