What to Cook This Weekend
Cooler weather is upon us here in the northeast, and despite the lack of rain, the leaves are showing some color though not as vibrant as years past. It’s a good time to hit the local farm stands where pumpkins and other squash are plentiful, as are apples. The tomato plant is giving up the last of the summer fruit. Even the green ones can be sliced thick, coated with corn meal and served with a spicy remoulade. Here are a few recipes to cook this weekend using those ingredients.
Think of this as an easy version of chicken Parmesan, tender chicken, tangy tomatoes and crispy bits of Parmesan.
Crisp fall mornings call for cozy breakfasts, and these fluffy pumpkin pancakes are just the thing to warm you right up.
This is a simple method for cooking firm, white-fleshed fish on the stovetop from start to finish.
This baked ziti is layered almost like a lasagna to ensure every bite has enough creamy ricotta, stringy mozzarella and tangy tomato sauce.
