It has been autumn for a couple weeks now, with leaves on the lawn and football on the TV, but here in Chicago the temperatures are still alternating between cool and humid/warm-ish. Not the ideal weather for cooking soup or potpies (darn, we missed Nat’l Potpie Day on Sept 23rd) and other fall favorites.

Unless there’s a brisk nip in the air, a wisp of wood smoke and the crisp clear sunshine that goes with apple-picking, pumpkin patches, and leaf-raking weekends, I just won’t be in the mood to cook the hearty dishes that evoke autumn warmth and coziness.  ​
That plus the fact that I have no working kitchen for another 2-3 weeks, until the renovation is complete.

But a girl can dream and plan ahead, can’t she? I’m preparing my Must Make list of recipes from my favorite cooking websites. Here are a few that look scrumptious to me.

​Please share your own best seasonal recipes/links in the comments.
  • Roasted Vegetable Soup with Herb Dumplings – from The Kitchn
  • Not Too Virtuous Salad with Caramelized Apple Vinaigrette – from wonderash at Food52 – This one I’ve made before and it is frickin’ awesome! Do not pass Go, make this salad.
  • Butternut Squash and Caramelized Onion Galette – from Smitten Kitchen
  • Apple Cranberry Stuffed Pork Roast – from Simply Recipes – Not necessarily fast or easy, but looks like an amazing dinner party main course
  • Cider-Braised Chicken with Apples, Bacon and Sage – from Serious Eats
  • Vegan Shepherd Pie – from Jamie Oliver
  • Double Crust Chicken Pot Pie – from Joy the Baker
  • Brûléed Bourbon-Maple Pumpkin Pie – from Bon Appetit – Maybe pumpkin pie isn’t just for Thanksgiving anymore?! This looks awesome.
