On the menu changes with each season and fall will soon be here! I am very much an in-season cook. Tomatoes, cabbage, onions, leeks, peppers will be going strong in the garden until the beginning of October. And cauliflower is so sweet and delicious right now! As the weather picks up a chill I’ll be doing more braising and roasting too! Fall recipes are just around the corner!
Let’s get ready for fall Y’all! Kelly, Anita and I LOVE fall and will help you get your home and front door ready for our favorite season! Fun, fun, fun fall ideas!

WEDNESDAY
Low Country Boil is a treat here at StoneGable! We usually eat it outside, cover the table with brown paper and then dump the one pot goodness down the center of the table. I’ll be adding some crab legs… just because! By the time I’m finished with this lick-my-fingers treat I usually have juice and butter running down my arms to my elbows!

- SOUTHERN CORNBREAD
THURSDAY
My Tex-Mex fix this week comes from Carole at My Kitchen Escapades. I’ll make a double batch to serve for lunch over the weekend. I often make extras and eat them at lunch!

FRIDAY
You had me at “capers”! Did you know that capers are tiny flowers from the Finder Rose? They are so bitter but once pickled they take on a magical briny taste that enhances almost anything savory you put them on. Keep them in your pantry and use often! Refrigerate once opened. Thanks, Chris and the Loon for this very tasty pork chop. Head over to How To Feed A Loon and say “Hi”!
- SEARED PORK CHOPS IN CAPER SAUCE
- MASHED CAULIFLOWER
- ROASTED ORGANIC CARROTS WITH THYME
- SLICED GARDEN TOMATOES
SATURDAY
One pot meals mean easy cleanup and I LOVE that! I don’t mind cooking but cleaning up, not so much! And this beautiful dish is so so easy!
Thanks, Sally at Good Dinner Mom!
SUNDAY
It’s peak corn season here at StoneGable! And it is sweet and scrumptious. I’m pulling out one of my very first food posts and sharing it because the recipe is so so good. Unfortunately, the images are not! Thank goodness you are not eating the pictures!
And here is the best homemade beer bread recipe to go along with the corn chowder! YUMMY!
