We are starting to see some color in our trees and the nights are cool, humidity is low. Just a bit ago I got the notion to make chili very soon. So what sorts of things do you crave and/or cook when Summer turns to Fall?

Ooooh yeah! When I get in my squash groove, nothing stands in the way. BTW, for each of the last two years, I made about 10 pumpkin pies, from scratch of course. And some chocolate pumpkin bread. Oh my! Of course, when I have more time, I put the pumpkin pie into a gingerbread cookie crust (make gingerbread cookie dough and roll it out as crust). DAMN!!

I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.

Did I ever post my pumpkin sausage soup recipe? It is to DIE for. I don't like pumpkin pie all that well (though with that gingerbread crust I could become a convert, I think), but put that squash in anything else and I am in heaven.

I love winter squash. I mostly either roast it or make soup of it. My recipes usually fall along the lines of "some of this, some of that, some of whatever is in the fridge this week. "

I know! Heck, I would think one could simply sprinkle some ginger and other spices in with a basic graham cracker crust for a similar effect. Yummo! /Rachel Ray

Oh no, totally different. The gingerbread recipe gives the crust a totally unique texture.

I'll bet that the flavor is really unique. Looking forward to trying that. My Carmel Apple Tart recipe calls for Parmesan Cheese in the crust and it's to die for.... Tongue
