Monday was officially the first day of fall, and personally, I was having mixed emotions. I had one of the most enjoyable summers I have had in a long time, and I knew I was going to miss it, but deep down in my heart I was excited.
My excitement came from the thoughts of going to a pumpkin patch, wearing my favorite sweater to wrap myself up in, to pick out all the pumpkins that I will carve with my friends, and the pumpkins that can be baked into a pie, used for a sauce, made into a container to hold my warm soup, and all the other endless possibilities.
It doesn't end at Pumpkins. What about the entire Thanksgiving meal that is my favorite day in the kitchen. I have a family filled with hungry hungry boys. I have to hide the food I prep the days before from my brothers so they don't eat it all before the big day. And if I screw up the potatoes....I don't think my Irish dad will forgive me. I can't wait!
So, in honor of my upcoming fun filled fall, I made pork chops, roasted garlic mashed potatoes, with a ginger apple cider sauce. And to say goodbye to summer my roommate Adam and I made a white wine vegetable pasta.
