Tips On Where To Find Some Great Fall Recipes - Home Cooking Part 2

Hi There..... Are you hungry for some great fall recipes? 😋

I hope you like home cooking because that’s what today’s blog is all about. Ha, I didn’t beat around the bush this time. Usually, I let you simmer some more and have you guess a bit what my post will be all about. As you can see, that’s not today. 😀

Last week I shared my first part of fall recipes, but there are plenty more where those came from. You absolutely have to read the first post I made on this topic. 😉

https://seadbeady.blogspot.com/2020/09/tips-on-where-to-find-some-great-fall.html

If you haven’t read it, know that I am not that fond of cooking. I only cook when I have to, and I have to admit that nowadays my hubby spends more time in the kitchen than I. 😊

But that’s not just because I am no avid cook. He often prepares all the vegetables for me because it’s painful for me to peel and chop them. The destruction of the cartilage in my hands is getting to be more and more of a problem. Soon there will be nothing left of me but a pile of bones. Maybe I can give them to my granddaughter then so she can play with them. 😂

Did you realize that the earliest known written recipes date to 1730 BC, and they were discovered in Mesopotamia? Other early written recipes date from roughly 1600 BC and come from a tablet from southern Babylonia. Can you believe I find those kinds of things interesting? I suppose you can, but would you still believe it if you knew I hated history in school? 😁

Ah, I bet you weren’t suspecting that. If you are eager to learn everything about this subject, you can find more information on this page of Wikipedia.

But I am certain people will have passed their family inherited home cooking recipes a lot earlier. I bet you have some of those up your sleeve. That doesn’t mean I can’t give you some extra inspiration. Everyday meals can be great on a regular day during the week. 😊

Most of us have kids at home that have to get their dinner on time, and these meals have to suit a tight budget. Then there are days when you get some more time in the kitchen and squander just that bit more. Here is my second selection of great fall recipes for those special days. 😍

Cooking Tips On Where To Find Some Great Fall Recipes

Hi There..... Do you enjoy cooking a little? Or maybe a lot? Do you have some great fall recipes up your sleeve? Or did you come here to get some cooking tips?

Sorry to say so, but I am not the most avid cook..... I can’t say that I ever was..... Safe to say that I do not have any blog posts on great fall recipes of my own 😄

That reminds me of the time I was a teenager..... We all enjoyed helping mom making special things for the Holidays..... We would, for instance, make our own potato croquettes..... First, my mam would prepare the mashed potatoes and we would dip them in egg white first and then in some breadcrumbs..... And afterward, we would roll them all by hand 😋

Did you ever make potato croquettes from scratch like that? I bet you didn't 😉

Those were literally about the only times you would find me in the kitchen..... Only on special occasions when we would try out new things or new recipes..... Simple everyday meals didn’t really interest me that much..... My sisters would always do their part and help mom out with cooking throughout the year..... But I hated ordinary meals so badly that I would always try to escape 😖

That’s why my mom invented a stupid new rule..... If you wanted to take part in the cooking on special occasions..... You would have to have cooked at least 10 meals during the year..... Ooh my, that really didn’t make me happy, not the least bit 😞

Some years I didn’t even make it to 10 cooks..... I know, hard to believe, haha..... 10 times a year doesn't seem that much..... But it was way too much for me 😂

Well, at least now you know why I don’t have a food blog..... But that doesn’t mean I am going to deprive you of great recipes or cooking tips..... As Jim Rohn said, ‘To solve any problem, here are three questions to ask yourself: First, what could I do? Second, what could I read? And third, who could I ask?' 😁

Thus I solved the problem at hand..... I asked some of my Blogger friends for recipes and before I knew it I had too many of them..... So I am probably going to do another blog post like this soon..... I have always had a problem with turning people down..... Why would you turn them down if you don’t have to? And I am not the only one who seems to think this way..... Steve Wynn said, ‘Money doesn’t make people happy. People make people happy.' 😎

So here are the first fall recipes I picked to share with you today..... They are Dutch recipes, but I will translate the ingredients for you..... You can always use Google Translate if you want to know more..... And if you are really stuck, you can always ask me for help 😋

Risotto With Mushrooms And Eggplant


250 grams of risotto
cup of mushrooms
1 bag of dried porcini mushrooms

2 onions

Roasted Butternut Squash Risotto With Parmesan Cheese
