The crisp smell of falling leaves, rain and harvest is in the air, and my mind can’t help but shift toward stews, potroast, roasted vegetables, pies and all the good eats that come with Fall. I’ve had a few menu items on my “to try” list since last year, so let’s see how many I get to this season:

• Oven-Braised Mexican Beef
• Curried Short Ribs
• Sesame Brussel Sprouts
• Multiple variations of roasted vegetables
• Daub: Provençal potroast
• Tuna Noodle Casserole
• Chili (both vegetarian and meaty)
• Cheddar Beer Soup
• Butternut Squash Soup
• Spaghetti and Meatballs
• Flourless Pumpkin Sponge Cake
