Cheese - Sweet Potato Gnudi With Sage Butter

'Gnudi' (or 'naked' ravioli without a pasta jacket) are tender dumplings simmered like gnocchi and, when made with sweet potatoes and finished in sage butter, present beautifully for a delicious autumn dish.

Soups Stews And Chili - Sausage White Bean Soup

Instead of starting with a hambone (which you won't have unless you've just eaten a baked ham) and dried beans (which require significant soaking and simmering time), simply open cans of chicken broth and beans. Minced prosciutto instantly transforms commercial chicken broth into a ham-flavored soup base. Italian sausage reinforces the pork flavor and makes the soup substantial and satisfying. Mashing some of the canned beans thickens the soup and gives it the body of one that's been long simmered. Sauteed onions, carrots and celery add depth of flavor and ensure the soup's homemade feel.

Bread - Boston Brown Bread I

This is a whole wheat bread sweetened with molasses and raisins. Buttermilk acts on the baking soda to increase its leavening power.

Appetizers And Snacks - Bacon And Date Appetizer

An easy, quick appetizer that I first tasted at a Native American wedding ceremony. Dates are stuffed with almonds and wrapped in bacon!

Salad - Red Raspberry Vinaigrette

A very easy, flavor-filled dressing that goes with any kind of salad. Only three ingredients! I like to use it with romaine, feta, toasted pecans, bacon, and red onion.

Meat And Poultry - Barbequed Marinated Flank Steak

Honey, vinegar, garlic, ginger, oil and soy sauce are blended and then poured over flank steak. The meat sits in this tangy marinade overnight in the fridge, and emerges flavorful and very tender. Grill, slice, and serve.
