I would like a thread just for the foods you cook during Fall. That is My Lady's favorite time of the year, so I share her joy!
Any recipe will be ok here.
As long as it is a Fall favorite of yours!dancing

CHICKEN AND SAUSAGE GUMBO RECIPE

3 lb Chicken breasts, split in - Half and boned
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Garlic powder to taste
1 lb Smoked sausage or kielbasa
1/2 c Vegetable oil
1/2 c All-purpose flour
1 c Chopped onion (1 lg)
1 c Chopped pepper (1 lg)
1 c Chopped celery (2 ribs)
7 c Water divided
1 ts Black pepper
1 ts Chopped garlic (1 clove)
1/2 ts Cayenne pepper
Season chicken breasts lightly with salt, black pepper and garlic powder. If possible, do this the day before you cook the gumbo. Next slice sausage into 1/4-to-1/2 inch pieces. Make roux, using a cast iron or very heavy skillet that is very clean. Place oil in skillet over high heat - oil should be at stage where it just begins to smoke - and gradually stir in flour, using a long-handled spoon. Roux will take about 3 to 4 minutes to cook and must be stirred constantly so that it does not burn. If you see black specks in the roux, it has burned and you must start over again. As you make the roux, it will change in color from cream to tan to brown and then to dark red-brown. Remove from heat. Stir in onions, green peppers and celery, stirring constantly until roux stops getting darker. Bring to stove once more, and cook over low heat about five to seven minutes, stirring constantly. In a large dutch oven, bring 6 c of water to a boil, and add the roux, stirring to dissolve it thoroughly. Carefully add chicken and cook about 30 to 40 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Remove chicken, and set aside to cool. De bone chicken, and cut into bite-size pieces. Add sausage, 1 c water, 1 ts black pepper and chopped garlic and cayenne to the pot, and simmer for 35 to 45 minutes, uncovered, stirring frequently. Taste, and add salt, if necessary. Stir in the chicken, and remove the gumbo from the heat. skim surface to remove fat that sausage gives off during cooking

4 potatoes, cut up (My mon did slices, I do pieces)

Pumpkin Cheesecake

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
5 tablespoons butter, melted
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
3 8-ounce packages cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup canned pumpkin
3 eggs
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon allspice
whipped cream

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

2. Make the crust by combining the graham cracker crumbs with the melted
butter and 1 tablespoon sugar in a medium bowl. Stir well enough to
coat all of the crumbs with the butter, but not so much as to turn the
mixture into paste. Keep it crumbly.

3. Press the crumbs onto the bottom and about two-thirds of the way up
the sides of a springform pan. You don't want the crust to form all
of the way up the back of each slice of cheesecake. Bake the crust
for 5 minutes, then set it aside until you are ready to fill it.

4. In a large mixing bowl combine the cream cheese, 1 cup sugar, and
vanilla. Mix with an electric mixer until smooth.

5. Add the pumpkin, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice and continue
to beat until smooth and creamy.

6. Pour the filling into the pan. Bake for 60 to 70 minutes. The top will
turn a bit darker at this point. Remove from the oven and allow the
cheesecake to cool.

7. When the cheesecake has come to room temperature, put it into the
refrigerator. When the cheesecake has chilled, remove the pan sides
and cut the cake into 8 equal pieces
