White Kiwi Sangria - thanks Lisa for passing along this yummy drink recipe! She took it to a party recently and reported back that this was a huge hit.

Acorn Squash - my mom makes the best squash, she simply cuts it in half, scoops out seeds, puts a tbsp of butter, a tbsp of brown sugar, and a slice of raw bacon in the center. Roast it in the oven for 45 minutes @ 400 degrees. I even eat this, although I am technically vegetarian, I just remove the bacon after cooking.

Kiwiberry, Kumquat & Pomegranate Kanten - a homemade jello of sorts, this recipe is beautiful and looks delicious.

Broccoli Cheese Soup - after spending two hours running before the sun came up, and then standing out in the freezing wind trying to convince 3 yr olds that it was a good idea to leave their parents warm laps to play soccer, nothing sounds better than a comforting warm bowl of soup!

Risotto with Beet Greens & Beets - nice to find a recipe that makes use of both the beets and the greens. Don't be intimidated by risotto - it's not as high maintenance as it has a reputation for.

Spicy Brown Sugar Carrots - another great fall flavor recipe using apple cider and pumpkin pie spice to bring a fall flavor to these carrots.
