What to Cook in September

“I was in search of a potato soup recipe similar to Rafferty’s famous potato soup to make for my husband’s birthday. After reading endless soup recipes, I finally took all my favorite parts from each recipe and came up with this one. It’s now requested at ALL family functions.” – Amber

“This Italian drunken noodle recipe has been a family favorite for a while. Great flavors and we end up making a double batch every time we make it.” – Lisa

“This recipe is a favorite with my family. It combines my daddy’s artichoke dip and my spinach dip to create one fantastic hot, creamy, and cheesy dip.” – Janet

“A single skillet chicken dinner with harvest apples, Brussels sprouts, and sweet potatoes in a tasty maple Dijon sauce with bacon, dried cranberries, and pecans!” – Kevin

“I love spinach and chicken together. This recipe is good for summer and a great way to convince the little ones to eat their veggies.” – Heather

“This is a great dessert and makes a good gift.” – Janet

“With all the surplus zucchini at this time of year, this can be a side dish or an appetizer for that summer get-together. I have had people enjoy these that are not zucchini fans!” – Patti

“Inspired by my Mema’s Chicken and Swiss quiche, this is a fun and easy variation that doesn’t use any eggs. You can also do this with meatballs and marinara (Italian Sub Pie) or any combo of vegetables, cheese, and meat your family likes. The possibilities are endless!” – Careema

“These bakery-style Apple Crumb Muffins are light and fluffy with hints of cinnamon. They are packed with apples and topped with a buttery crumb topping.” – Debbie

“This recipe comes from my husband’s sweet grandma (Moma Chloe). She made everything with love and a smile! This cake is very moist and freezes well.” – Leah

“I remember my mother and her friend making this when I was young. It’s so yummy and it’s a perfect dessert for autumn when fresh sweet potatoes are plentiful in Alabama.” – Jewel

“This is a more portable and less messy version of my original grilled street corn recipe.” – Martha

“I admit there are a few steps to this, but if you like coffee cake and enjoy pumpkin, it is well worth the time because you are in for a real treat with this recipe! From the pumpkin and spices to the pecan streusel, it screams fall and cooler weather.” – Lisa

“A cheddar cheese and tomato, corn and zucchini quiche that is so easy to make and a perfect light meal!” – Kevin

“This is a delicious recipe with a crust that is flaky and rich. Cream cheese and butter are a match made in heaven for a wonderful tasting crust. I love this slab pie because not only does it taste wonderful, but it feeds a lot of people. It is great to make for a pot luck or for a family gathering. It never fails to impress and gets rave reviews.” – Donna

“These are easy, yummy and you can bake them in the oven alongside your main dish. You will want one zucchini and one summer squash for every two people. Leftovers reheat very well in the microwave.” – Catherine

“Very simple to make and simply yummy!” – Angela

“Since I am the only one in my house that eats squash of any type I made this for lunch and just created it. I made this for just me but I had enough leftover to eat the next day. It turned out really good.” – Janice

“I love pumpkin pie and I wanted to make the best of the best this year… so started playing with the ingredients and trying things out on my friends and family. This is the winner!” – Wendy

“I came up with this salad when I was asked to bring a fruit salad to holidays and most fruits are out of season. I looked and looked for a fruit salad recipe that didn’t involve canned fruit and couldn’t find anything that said fall. This salad will stay in my keeper file!” – Michelle

“For a light dessert.” – Betsy

“My Mom (Deb) started a hand-written recipe book of all us kids’ faves and holiday traditions about a year before she passed in 2001. These recipes have become a way for us to still have Mom at our holiday meals for 14 years now.” – Lisa

“These rolls are very delicious, a great dessert for fall baking. They are best served warm, but we have reheated them in the oven for a few minutes and they are still yummy!” – Carolynne

“I like to make turnovers. I just made 4 apple turnovers and some cups filled with the filling and a topping using my apple cobbler topping. This will make a nice snack for after dinner.” – Deb
