I am such a seasonal cook! How about you? Here at StoneGable, we have turned over a new leaf.... a fall leaf.... and my menu reflects the flavors and tastes of my favorite season.
I'm not only cooking up warm savories for our tummies, but lots of simmering potpourri filled with cinnamon, cloves and vanilla to make StoneGable smell like Autumn too! To learn how I make my potpourri (my Christmas version~ added oranges and star anise) click HERE... and look for an upcoming post about my fall version...
Did you notice my new fall header? It's full of Autumnal colors and elements! How could you miss it.. it's so big and bold. It seems the trend these days, blogs have lots of white space and very minimal photos....great for them...but that is NOT StoneGable! I'm staying true to my own style and voice... lots of pictures... lots of color... and big!
Julie at BLOGGER BOUTIQUE made it happen! Thanks, Julie!

ReplyDeleteWe're still having summer weather here. Can't wait to get into cool weather cooking. Until then, we're enjoying the hot days and warm nights.
ReplyDeleteHmmmmmmm ..... that Ham and Bean Soup looks delicious! Love your new header! Have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the party. I'm so not in the fall mindset yet. I just bought more fresh berries. I hope you have a great week.

Hi Yvonne: I love your new header, and I thank you for hosting the party today. I noticed that you have cheesy grits on the menu this week--I adore grits--save me a serving! The features are just gorgeous--lots of food inspiration here!
ReplyDeleteFantastic features...oh my goodness I could eat ham and bean soup three times a day.
ReplyDeleteIs it just me or doesn't the food just keep getting prettier and prettier.
Oh, such beautiful food. I'm tempted to try each one of these. Beautiful menu and features. Thanks for hosting.......Sarah
ReplyDeleteOh My God, Yvonne... everything looks so good! I have read, and drooled and pinned, and joined the party!
ReplyDeleteI could go days reading only your blog, so many wonderful ideas!!!
Yes, I noticed the Fall heading, and yes, I am so glad you go colorful and bold! I am afraid of color, LOL!
Oh, and today my husband made my favourite dinner, I have to take pictures next time to share the recipes here.
Salmon Teryaki (he makes the sauce himself) and mushrooms and peas risotto. Yum!!!
Have a great week!
Need an easy and delicious veggie side dish? I shared a broccoli salad that is sweet enough for kids, and healthy for moms. Also a great make-ahead and a pot-luck favorite!!

Hi, I hope you had a great weekend. Yes I love to cook seasonally too and only cook what I can find on offer usually.
ReplyDeleteThis week I've shared a healthy gluten free quinoa green smoothie that you can actually make a meal of.

I've also shared the final results of my challenge where I just drank green smoothies all week, and what an amazing detox that was.

Yvonne, your fall header is gorgeous and a very nice welcome into fall. I love Stone Gable and how you've arranged everything.
ReplyDeleteI've shared an easy version of Cherries Jubilee, served over toast rather than the traditional ice cream. Hope you have a wonderful week and thanks for hosting.
Sam
OMG everything looks sooooo good. Your new header is a perfect way to say hello to fall! Thanks for all the yummy recipes.
ReplyDeleteBoy what a great collection of recipes! Going to give that Hissy Fit dip a try! The table presented by Laura was fabulous!
ReplyDeleteYour fall header is beautiful!
Love the new banner pictures and as always, love the inspiration of your menus. I had a few similar items before I even looked. Are you rubbing off on me? Hope so!
ReplyDeleteYummy! Your Tuesday and Thursday meals have me drooling! Your whole menu sounds delicious. I am off to check out some links. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteYvonne, thanks for hosting and sharing such wonderful recipes. Aren't we blessed to be able to enjoy and share delicious (sometimes nutritious) food. My recipe today, cheesy potatoes can be healthy and nutritious if low fat products are used. Your header is very nice.
ReplyDeleteShannon
Oh everything/looks sounds so delicious! You are making me crave ham & beans. My mother used to make it, but I never have because my dear husband won't touch beans and has corrupted all our children ;-)
ReplyDeleteOh dear...I am in the midst of making the Chicken Divan and while the recipe calls for a shallot, I am not told what to do with the shallot. HELP!!
ReplyDeleteDon't worry! Omit it or use about 2 TBS finely grated onion. Hope you like this yummy recipe!!!
DeleteWhat a great menu you have this week! And a great bunch of recipes linked up.
ReplyDeleteYvonne, I love your new header and you own menus for the week are, as usual, outstanding. You provide such visual treats for your readers. I love to visit here. I hope you have a great week. Blessings...Mary
ReplyDeleteEverything always looks so good! Thank you for hosting!

Healthy eating is not about strict nutrition philosophies, staying unrealistically thin, or depriving yourself of the foods you love. Rather, it’s about feeling great, having more energy, stabilizing your mood, Bicalutamide and keeping yourself as healthy as possible– all of which can be achieved by learning some nutrition basics and using them in a way that works for you.
ReplyDeletePerfect piece of writing rich in information. I have been looking for such a post for a long time.
