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…

Another 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!

You 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!

As 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!

One 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?
