Comfort Food

Because I like to cook, I am always on the lookout for good ingredients to inspire my menus.  Recently in my travels I noticed that the Giant Eagle, the DBI Farmer’s Market and Boyer’s Orchard among others are overflowing with a bountiful fall harvest of flavorful fruits and vegetables.  Despite the 90 degree weather today and the goodness of past summer salads, I am looking forward to a fall and winter of comfort foods, perhaps a simmering pot of soup, stew or chile this weekend as the coldfront pabses through. Perhaps with some fresh foccacia that I learned to make at a LIfeSTYLE cooking class!  Yum.  Hope you are also enjoying the bounty.
