The wind is rising,
summer evenings,
When I found some good looking cherry tomatoes, I brought them home and thought bout it for a day or two. I finally decided to slice them in half and put them into a shallow baking pan and sprinkled a few finely diced rosemary leaves over the top.
then everything drizzled with EVOO and put the pan into a slow oven to roast. It was left there for about 4 hours at 300 degrees F. which was long enough for the flavors to meld.
Meanwhile, I sliced up a small, rustic loaf of Italian bread and drizzled each slice with EVOO.
So wonderful, I’ve had it for supper, several times, in the last week. The tomatoes are also good when added to soups, stews, scrambled eggs. I’m still finding out ways to use the roasted tomatoes and have frozen one batch to use later.
The Food Network Magazine has been around ages but I just discovered it recently and have read it cover to cover. It’s great and has recipes from a wide variety of folks as well as recipes pertinent to the season. I subscribed and want to give a year’s subscription to someone. Preference goes to followers…meaning only those who follow my blog are eligible to win. It’s not that I’m trying to gain more followers, I’m saying thanks to those who are followers.
The October issue has lots of lovely pumpkin recipes, apple recipes and bread recipes. November’s issue has lots of Thanksgiving recipes and Ina Garten, The Barefoot Contessa on the cover. Her latest cook book is Make It Ahead, and I’m all about making it ahead. My favorite kitchen tools are my slow cooker, enameled covered cast iron and plain cast iron cookware. I’m not sure I could do without any of those; surely don’t want to imagine trying!
Leave a comment, telling me your favorite Autumnal recipe. It can be your recipe, someone else’s, one from the magazine…doesn’t matter; just tell me your favorite recipe for this time of year. A stateside winner will be chosen one week from today…next Friday at 5:00 and will be notified by e-mail. You’ll have 24 hours to acknowledge and send me your address. If 24 hours pass and that’s not done, another name will be chosen. Good Fortune be yours!

I love baked sweet potatoes in their skins,pumpkin bread,chicken or turkey chili,cornbread baked in an iron skillet,fried apples for the fall.
Hmm. So many yummy autumn recipes! Well, I think maybe my good ole plain pumpkin pie, but I also love the cranberry pumpkin bread I make. One from the label of the Libby's can and the other from a friend, which I changed a good bit. I follow your blog on feedly. Does that count?
Your dinner looks delicious.
One of our favorite meals for autumn is Montana Potatoes. (red potatoes, onion, mushrooms and zuchini topped with feta tomatoes and a friend egg.)
Fondly,
Glenda
My favorite recipe this time of year would be apple pie , I don't tend to make it often and when fall arrives and the fresh apples appear I love to make pie and applesauce . Your tomatoes sound yummy .
oops, forgot to tell you my favorite autumn recipe. Chili!
Simple AND tasty! Please count me in on the giveaway, please! Love Ina Garten and will put her new book on my Amazon wish list.

Hope you've heard positive news from the prospective buyers. ~:)
My favorite fall reciepe is Butternut Squash Soup and caramelized apples shaunie – twitter.com/sandyhills25
I like the idea of warming the goat cheese in this fashion, we usually just melt them on the toasted baguette-pretty dull compared to this 🙂 I've not a favourite fall recipe, I know what is wrong with me!
This sounds so yummy. I will have to try it. I have some grape tomatoes in the fridg. Also a french baggett in freezer.
Renee is off to NYC on honeymoon. I am dog sitting his and her dog. David's dog can sing. Enjoy the day.

good morning, thank you for the chance of an awesome giveaway-I love food network and have not picked up one of their magazines of yet.
I love tomatoes like that too ours have now ended but I have canned several recipes with them this year.
My favorite recipe for this time of year would be homemade soups with a ham bone. we love split pea soup, bean soups, and potato soup with a ham bone.
thanks for the chance
As fall approaches I think of pumpkin, cranberries, turkey and stuffing. 🙂
Pumpkin Tiramisu is a decadent desert that DH and I both loved. Maybe I'll make that again this year.
What you did with those tomatoes sounds so delicious! I've never had goat's cheese that I can remember. A nice peasant meal to have with a mellow glass of red wine.
Have a lovely weekend ~ FlowerLady
That is a very inspiring post, Sandra. It makes me want to cook, which is always good, since we do have to eat…;-)
My favorite recipe for this time of year would use a LOT of tomatoes, because the end of September and the beginning of October around here always give us more tomatoes than we know what to do with. I'll choose my California Tomato Pudding recipe that can be found here: http://gretchenjoanna.com/2013/09/30/i-tweak-the-pudding/
MMM, sounds delish.. I used to used Colavita, but now use Kirkland (Costco brand) EVOO.. it was tested as one of the purest oils on the market, many (including Colavita) mix different types of OO together, diluting their EVOO… can't remember where I read that recently. As to my Orange/Cranberry Jam, it is sort of by guess and by gosh, fruit about 4#, a bit of water, sugar to taste and the zest, juice and pulp of one orange… that's it, just let it cook down like you do sauce for Thanksgiving, put it into freezer containers and it is done! Sorry I've been so silent, I've just been trying to get my feet on the ground from early retirement with chronic pain and my severe asthma. But lately I've come to the realization, I cannot just sit, must get up and move, do things.. I hurt regardless so I might as well get going, right? I am really loving having the time to be in the Word since being off work, both studying and teaching a Precepts class, we're in Chapter 7 of Romans… thanks for stopping by, I'll try to do more of that too…
Favorite autumn recipe? Hmm, any of my go-to soups/stews; all thick and hearty and flavorful (and vegetarian).
Thank you for visiting my blog. It looks like this is the season for tomatoes. I chopped some of my dehydrated tomatoes and stirred them with a pasta and olive dish. Yum!
Have a peaceful weekend.
