Leaving the windows open. Feeling a crisp, gentle breeze wafting through the house. Watching the neighbor kids tiptoe along the stone path through my flower garden while I stand at the sink peeling peaches. Smelling the scent of cinnamon and apple drift from the crockpot. This is the part of Fall I like best.
In honor of Autumn's approach, let me encourage you to try Spiced Apple Butternut Squash Soup and Herb Crusted Chicken. I love the soup recipe, but instead of following the instructions, I just throw everything in the crockpot and then puree it at the end of the day.
Almond Balsamic Dressing
creamy almond butter
balsamic vinegar
pineapple juice
Mix and adjust to desired texture. Pour over salad (or chicken or pork or veggies).
olive oil
Preheat oven to 450°F. Mix almond meal, basil, rosemary, salt, and pepper in food processor, transfer to a plate. Brush chicken breasts on both sides with olive oil. Coat chicken on both sides with herb mixture. Place chicken on foil-lined baking sheet. Bake until chicken is cooked through and coating is golden, 20-30 minutes.
