Fall Foods

Fall is my favorite time of year for both climate and food. Not only do we get beautiful fall leaves, chilly weather that allows me to wear sweaters, and the departure of mosquitoes but we also get squash, carrots, potatoes, and other fantastic foods!

My lovely upstairs neighbors had some friends up from CT and D.C. so they hosted a dinner party last night. Benji made an awesome steak recipe with a mushroom and parsnip ragout and I roasted some veggies purchased from the Central Square farmer's market. Benji's sole reason for the recipe was that it accompanies a merlot beautifully and he had several bottles of his favorite at hand. I chose the roasted veggies to bring back fall and stave off winter for a little bit longer.

At the market I purchased Kennebec potatoes, carrots of all colors (except I didn't find any purple specimens) and a butternut squash. Below are photos from the many minutes spent peeling and chopping everything. Enjoy the color!
