Let the fall cooking begin.....

Fall is my favorite time of year for the beautiful weather and all of the gorgeous leaves, but mainly because of all the yummy cooking that fall brings. It has been a week/weekend of cooking around my house! Great cooking starts with great ingredients and I always stock up at the market each week! I will note in the recipe where I got the market ingredients so you can stock up this week at our final market of the season! Here are just a couple recipes for dinner. Check back later for my blog about apples!

Roasted Lamb with potatoes and applesauce (for two)
1 package lamb ribs (Country Neighbors Farm)
1 carton of potatoes (Sullivan Farms)
1 onion (Sullivan Farms)
Applesauce (see next blog)
1 loaf of Honey Oat Bread (Nitty Gritty Dirt Farm)

This was my first time make lamb ribs so I kept it very simple. I place the ribs in the crock pot in the morning before I left for work with about 3 cups of water, 1/4  cup worcestershire sauce, 3 tablespoons of butter and salt and pepper to taste. They were tender and delicious at dinner time!

Fresh potatoes are delicious any way you cook them, but for this meal I sautéed them with a little olive oil, onion, and creole seasoning. If you have an iron skillet pull it out and put a little olive oil in the skillet and get it hot. Chop up your onion and potatoes then throw them into the skillet. Add seasoning to taste. Cook until potatoes are done.

Homemade bread and butter along with homemade applesauce finished off this delicious dinner!

Hungarian Noodles & Beef

2 soup bones (Nitty Gritty Dirt Farm)
1 package egg noodles
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1/2 c. chopped onion (Sullivan Farm)
2 tbsp worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp poppy seeds
1/4 tsp hot sauce
2 cups cottage cheese
1 cup sour cream
1 cup fresh cheese (Goatsbeard Farm~found at With the Wild Farm)
1/4 cup shredded goat cheese (Goatsbeard Farm~found at With the Wild Farm)
Garlic salt and pepper to taste

Again pull out your crockpot. Put in the soup bones and enough water to cover them in the crock pot in the morning. When you are ready to start dinner, pull out the soup bones and put them on a plate. Pour the water full of soup bone goodness into a pan and bring it to a boil. While it is coming up to a boil take all of the meat off of the soup bones and set aside. (You will be amazed at how much meat is on a soup bone). When  your water comes to a boil pour in your noodles and cook them as directed. Do not discard the excess water after they are done. Just turn off your burner and just let the noodles hang out for a bit. In a large skillet cook your onion in a lithe olive oil. Add the soup, worcestershire sauce, poppy seeds, hot sauce, cottage cheese, sour cream, fresh cheese, goat cheese, and seasonings. Once all of that is combined and creamy add in your meat. Then pour it into your noodles. Combine and serve! It is a delicious fall meal and of course you can add homemade bread on the side!
