Fall Harvest Recipes Newsletter

Welcome to the Favorite Fall Recipes edition of the My Family Kitchen Newsletter.

First I'd like to appologize for last weeks newsletter. I was so tired I hit send without checking the layout first and it was way off and dificult to read. I'll do my best to make sure it doesn't happen again.

I also noticed that I sent the wrong link to our Cookbook, "Celebrate Food!". That page had the price listed at $19.95, but our mailing list members were supposed to get it at the discounted price of $15.95. If you haven't checked it out yet you can take a look at the list of recipes included in the cookbook.  As a side note, don't expect to find many of the recipes from the cookbook on the website. These are all unique, vintage family recipes that i grew up with, along with a few of my own recipes thrown in.

Fall is a wonderful time of year. With the crispness of the air, the colors on the trees and fresh harvests it just seem to be the perfect time for cooking (kind of like spring and romance!).

I'm going to start with a dessert recipe just because I love the smell of baking apples in the fall. This easy to make caramel apple tart is one of our favorites.  The aroma of fresh cinnamon and the sweetness of the brown sugar caramelizing over the tart apples smells so good you won't want to wait to dig in! Get the caramel apple tart Here.

Next is a vintage side dish. I found this recipe when I was going through old family cookbooks and recipe boxes. I had forgotten about it, but it's one my Grandmother made often when we were growing up. This Potato with bacon casserole goes well with almost any oven baked chicken, pork or beef roast. Get the recipe for Potato and Bacon Casserole here.

Harvest Pumpkin is another favorite. I only recieved this recipe last year, but it dates back to colonial days. It's one of the few recipes in the Celebrate Food! cookbook you will find on the website. This calls for stuffing a pumpkin with fresh fruits, nuts and some spices and baking it in the oven. (originally it was placed by an open fire to cook- maybe i'll try that one day!) Get the recipe for Harvest Pumpkin here and make one for your next potluck dinner. It's sure to be the hit of the night.

Finally our last recipe this week is one we recieved from a member. Tatie Pot is an old English recipe that is fantastic for fall and a great way to use up any leftover roast beef. Get the recipes for the simple and tasty family meal Tatie Pot here.
