Ahhh, one of my favorite foods in the fall no winter. I love roasted root vegetables. I love taking carrots and parsnips, onions, garlic, sweet potatoes and beets and roasting them with chicken. There are so many baking pan recipes these days that are perfect for easy meals.
Hmm. Maybe that’s what we’ll have for dinner tomorrow.
PS….rutabagas…..OMG, peel them, simmer them in water, mash them with whatever butter you prefer, maybe a dash of salt and that’s all you need to do.
Heaven in a bowl.
I like poms but they are quite the mess when cutting them. They are great in salads and such. I just found out I could grow them here which is very interesting. We can grow avocados, too, so I am trying to get my hands on a tree or plant one from a seed.
I haven’t tried juicing one yet in our juicer and I am wondering how bad that might be.😎
I just bought a pomegranate the other day as something else to add to my fall salads, plus they would be good on homemade smoothie bowls. It was very cooperative when it modeled for me.
This was a weird prompt because I had no idea what they meant by “harvest corn.” I took a guess and went for Indian corn. At least, that’s what we always called it.
The timing was perfect on this one, Publix was selling pumpkin rolls so we brought one home to model for this submission.
Unfortunately, it cannot make a public appearance….it has sort of been….disposed of….. Tee Hee.
Nice thing about creating food art. You can eat it after.
A very seasonal butternut squash soup.
I have always liked Chai but I avoided it because when you order it out, it has sugar and milk, is too sweet for me and I am trying to avoid milk. Nowadays, you can get oat, almond or coconut milk but most mixes still have too much sugar.
This prompt led me to research Chai and I found a nice blog post about it here.

They have a recipe that doesn’t list amounts but at least they have what’s in Chai and the health benefits of each. I will have to look up a recipe to make it at home but at least that way, I can control what’s in it.
My favorite apples are pink ladies. They have that perfect combination of sweet and tart and they are a crisp apple, not like the mushy Red Delicious. I love pink ladies and this sketch is a pink lady apple.
I was listening to something on TV and they were saying that many regions have their own apples, which I didn’t know. However, you don’t need to travel to find them, all you have to do is contact the orchard and most will gladly ship them to you.
I have over 100 filled sketchbooks and although I do have pink ladies in the fridge, I used my sketch of the pink lady apple to do this piece.
Fall would not be complete without cider donuts.
This was a lot of fun to draw. I like acorn squash and I should really use it more in my cooking. There is something really satisfying about scooping out those seeds!
