TGIF: Recipe Round-up

It's official -- fall is here. At least in NJ it's definitely arrived -- leaves falling, cool weather, lots of Halloween decorations. To wrap up this week, I've listed some of the best fall recipes I've found. I love anything pumpkin-flavored so you may notice a lot of those. Just think, it's the best way to recycle your pumpkin -- use the pulp, toast the seeds.

• Squash-Apple Bake (I plan on testing this recipe this weekend. I somehow ended up with lots of squash and apples.)
  
  
• Pumpkin Gingerbread (doesn't it just sound heavenly?)
  
  
• Aunt Mary's Eggplant Balls (got a bunch of eggplant from the farm and eggplant parmesan is getting old)
  
  
• Slow Cooker Chicken Cacciatore (all I have to say is yum! Anyone else breaking out the crock pot? Best way to cook during those cold winter months.)
  

Feel free to add your own recipes. I'm in a cooking mood! (My husband will be happy to hear that since he's the main cook in our house.) I think I may have to test all of these recipes this weekend. I'll keep you posted...
