With the changing seasons brings a change in the meals we may choose to make. Out are your summery slaws and grilled everythings. In comes your soups and your squashes and suchnots. How do you guys mark the passage into Fall with food?

I think it would be cool and good if we all talked about how we're going to have Turkey on thanksgiving, which will be a shocking revelation for many, I'm sure

I'm a sucker for cranberry sauce so I usually make some. It's not *too* expensive (cranberries can get pricey depending on if you get fresh or frozen - I don't think it matters really just defrost first obv) and it is delicious. It's also an easy way to impress people at Thanksgiving because everyone gets the local store deli stuff at best and the canned poo poo at worst so if you bring some great homemade stuff they'll all be 'woah dude!'

I love fall for the squashes and would be super interested in hearing some new takes on them. Typically I just do the super standard roast butternut squash of splitting it, rubbing it down with some butter and then some fresh cracked pepper and a little bit of salt, then pop that sucker in the oven for about an hour or until its soft and thats all there is too it! Super easy and super delicious. For spaghetti squash I like to just get a little bit of jarred tomato sauce and cook up some turkey sausage in it to top the squash, hardly even "cooking" so any tips or recipes would be super appreciated!

I've never really liked roast hams. Even at Christmas. Just not a fan idk. Butternut squash is good though.

What's an equally festive alternative to pumpkin pie. I hate it but I'm not sure why, maybe a texture thing? Not a big pumpkin fan in general

Nooner posted:I love fall for the squashes and would be super interested in hearing some new takes on them. Turmeric and winter squash go very well together. I do a lot of pumpkin or butternut squash curries when the weather turns cold, but turmeric can hold up on its own as well. Sometimes I just cut a squash in half, scoop the seeds, sprinkle on a nice coat of turmeric and salt and roast it in the oven for an hour or so.

I really do like the way squash is so happy with turmeric based curries. There's something natural about it, same as curries with parsnips and carrots. I like Autumn for cooking. Out come all the reds and golds, on the leaves and from the ground. No reason to put the grill away or cease salading (still got many tomatoes coming) though. As long as it's not pissing down, still going to set fire to the charcoal. And for me smoke is an autumnal flavour. Reminds me of bonfires and burning effigies.

Similar flavors, but not the same, and different textures. Alternately, you could do a different style of pumpkin pie - http://sweets.seriouseats.com/2012/11/12-pumpkin-pies-for-thanksgiving-different-pumpkin-pie-recipes.html - and see if there's one that has a texture or flavor combination that works better for you. Alternatively, late season apples make good pie. Ditto late season pears. Alternatively to any pie at all, a lot of the fall seasonal flavors are spices (pumpkin pie flavor is more about the cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice (and sometimes mace and clove) than about the pumpkin itself. Consider a pumpkin-spice ice cream, or just a cinnamon ice cream. Few things are more autumnal than a hot baked apple with a scoop of homemade cinnamon ice cream.

Woof, thanks for all the suggestions, think I'll look to pressure relatives into sweet potato or apple. I might even try to make a pie but it will be my first but at least I will be around my parents who are responsible and can put out fires

I'm terrible at pie crusts, but good at pie fillings, so I buy roll-and-use crusts or use filo to make stuff baklava style (I made an Apple Butter Baklava that would go nicely at any autumnal festival meal). There's no shame in starting with shortcuts or hacks.

I picked up a Sweet Meat squash at a farm, which is a cultivar that's not easy to find outside of the PNW from what I understand, but makes awesome sweet pumpkin dishes. I don't want to go with the standard pumpkin pie usage, so I think I'm going to make a squash ganache and dark chocolate ganache, marble them together, chill them, scoop them out with a melon baller, and make squash-chocolate truffles by rolling those balls in melted milk chocolate, drizzling them in dark chocolate, and dusting in cocoa powder or chocolate shards. Last year, I brought sweet potato pave with orange cream and a sugar ornament to the family holidays. This year, truffles. Next year I'm going to have to outdo myself again. I'm not as good with desserts as savory food, so I'll have to get creative.

Buttermilk pie is fantastic any time of the year.

You should try a za'atar blend, of sumac, thyme, cumin and sesame seeds on it. Also, it's bloody spring here, and I've only had turkey 4 times in my life...

I made apple pie today! Also a giant tray of roasted vegetables and wild rice. My first real time using the oven since the spring- I don't have air conditioning, so I don't bake in the summer. This year I grew these monster pumpkins called Black Futsu and have 15 of them to deal with some time between now and December so I need all the pumpkin/ squash recipes! Also I started baking cookies - that always makes me think of fall. I made ginger snaps and apple spice cookies.

When fall comes I start using all the "stew meat" cuts I get when I slaughter - which is basically all the bony scraps and such that doesn't make it into any other cut - by doing soup a lot. Usually this is in the crockpot, so in the morning before I leave I just sear off the meat, add water, onion, some barley, etc. and let it cook allllllllllll day (12 hours, maybe more) and then when I get home I get the bones out and add in a few other vegetables to top it off. I'll usually cook up a quick bread to go with it or will have started a yeast bread in the morning if I have time and bake that in the evening as well for a really great, warming meal. When its cold enough that I start using the wood stove to heat the house, though, I do the same as above but instead of a crock pot I do everything in my big dutch oven and just keep it on the wood stove all day. I mean, this poo poo isn't revolutionary or anything, but sometimes people forget how nice simple, wholesome stuff like scotch broth can be.

Especially if the filling has chopped nuts. For people who are terrible at pie crusts (me) this method takes a lot of the guesswork out. Here's the science behind it if you care. I like to replace some of the water with a splash of brandy for a little extra flavor!
