WhenEVER I think of fall I think of 2 things:
1. Making LOTS of spaghetti sauce to freeze

2. the following recipe (which is not particularly low fat but I used Kraft 2% sharp cheddar and that works well

Autumn Hayride Casserole
(from "In the Kitchen With Family and Friends" Gooseberry Patch Cookbook)

1# ground beef, browned
1-1/2t salt, divided
1T chili powder
1 10oz block Cracker Barrell Extra Sharp Cheese (shredded & divided)
1/2C BBQ sauce (I use Original KC Masterpiece)
1 can Mexican style corn (or just plain with peppers cut up small)
8-oz can tomato sauce

1C all-purpose flour
1/2C cornmeal
2T sugar
1t baking powder
1/4C butter
1/2C milk
1 egg, beaten

Combine ground beef, 1C cheese, ½ t salt, chili powder, BBQ sauce, corn & tomato sauce & set aside.

In another bowl combine the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and 1t salt. Cut into this the butter & cheese. Blend in milk & egg. Spread this mixture over the bottom & sides of an ungreased 9" square baking pan. Pour ground beef mixture on top of crust.

Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes; sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake for an additional 3-5 minutes. Serves 6-8.

Nothing beats fresh, warm, homemade applesauce on a hot biscuit. It is sooooooo easy too. Just peel and slice Granny Smith apples (makes a nice tangy sauce) and cover in sugar. Cook over medium heat in saucepan until apples cook down. You can use whatever apples you like. Some cook down easier than others, and some are sweeter than others. I like a lot of sugar, but you can adjust that also to your taste. Make a bunch! Trust me, everyone will want seconds. Good on pancakes too!

Yummy, that sounds so good... I like to use brown sugar and cinnamon in my applesauce! And what makes it best... we pick our own apples!

The vanilla applesauce interests me. I'd never have thought of putting vanilla into applesauce. I'll have to try this after apple-picking this fall.

Fall is a great time for a pot of chicken (or seafood) Gumbo. Its been a couple of years since I made some, and I'd have to look up my recipe again. But I use a dutch oven. flour and oil for a reaux. It has to be very dark brown, almost black, to be good. then add water, some bullion, gumbo seasonings, chicken, okra...I can't remember what else. However, while the gumbo is cooking, I make potato salad. When we eat the gumbo over rice, we also put potato salad on the side of the bowl. Hmmmm! Now, I'm getting hungry!
