Set the table with stuffed mushrooms as side dish or appetizer
Back in October when we featured the fig-shallot jam, I mentioned my son's stuffed mushrooms and now it's time to feature them! This recipe calls for a small quantity of a long list of items, because we are trying to replicate a random barbecue seasoning that he ...By Susie Iventosch

Squash-Pumpkin Bread recipe redo
Sometimes there are mix-ups in communication and we had a few with this recipe in the last issue. If you thought it was a lot of pepitas and nutmeg for one loaf of bread, you were right! But, because this bread is so yummy, I wanted to run it again, but with the ...By Susie Iventosch

A perfect pumpkin bread to serve holiday house guests
Recently, I made pumpkin bread using canned pumpkin, which turned out to be more like pumpkin cake (with caramel glaze) and realized that I wanted more substance to my bread. A quick online search produced the Macrina Bakery Squash Harvest Loaf recipe. Macrina supplies ...By Susie Iventosch

Two savory and sweet dishes just in time for the holidays
We didn't have enough room to include these two wonderful recipes from Celine Sherwood in our last issue, but they are really delicious and would make great side dishes for the holidays. I made the savory and sweet version of the Smashed Carrots, and absolutely loved ...By Susie Iventosch

Local child chefs land a winning title in Moraga Pear Recipe Contest
The 20th annual Moraga Pear & Wine Festival was held on Sept. 22, celebrating Moraga's pear history and offering plenty of fun for families including a pie-eating contest, music, wine tasting, face painting and inflatable bouncy houses. But, the activity that is always ...By Susie Iventosch



Give thanks for Brussels sprouts!
Here is a great veggie dish to serve alongside your Thanksgiving turkey this year. I used to really, really dislike Brussels sprouts. I don't think my mom ever made us eat them, but if she had, I'm pretty sure they would have been stuffed in my pockets before getting ...By Susie Iventosch

Caramel-icious bread pudding a perfect dessert for cool fall days
I love bread pudding because it's such a great dessert (or breakfast) for crisp autumn days. And, I really can't think of any better accompaniment to an apple dish than caramel sauce! This sauce is the same one we used for the caramel-glazed apple cake last year, so it ...By Susie Iventosch



A fabulous fig condiment complement for baked brie or barbecue
My son Joel called me one day all excited about the stuffed mushrooms he had made with fig chutney, shallots and Parmesan cheese, among other items of interest like blue cheese, barbecue seasoning and Worcestershire sauce. I'm always delighted to hear what my kids have ...By Susie Iventosch



Apples add to these cookies' fall harvest feel
On several of my bike rides lately, I've been tempted by apples ... orchards loaded with apples. Ripe apples of every color adorn the trees from yellow to red to green. We don't have apple trees in our yard, and I must say, it was really difficult not to reach out and ...By Susie Iventosch
