Sweet Turkey Sausage with Small White Beans and Lacinato Kale Soup
This is a great soup option for a cool autumn weekend. Preparing in the crock-pot allows all the flavors to really come together in this delicious dish.
Grenada Pepper and Citrus Grilled Chicken
The dried Grenada peppers are slightly smoky and have a medium level of heat. The orange juice, garlic and shallots rounds the dish out nicely.

Morita Chili Pepper Beef Kabobs
Morita Chili Pepper Beef Kabobs have a ton of flavor and are great for a backyard bbq. The Morita chili is a smoked red jalapeno pepper similar to a Chipotle but has a mixture of heat and sweetness. It works perfectly with the beef and is sure to be a fan favorite.

Grilled Hanger Steak with Chimichurri Sauce
Grilled Hanger steak is a more affordable cut of beef but has incredible flavor. It also takes really well to grilling, marinades and when paired with this chimichurri sauce.

Paleo Food: Buffalo Stuffed Poblano Peppers
Poblano peppers have a mild flavor and are excellent for stuffing. The ground buffalo is lean and works well with the mushroom, carrot and celery mixture. I also used salt pork instead of olive oil when cooking for additional flavor (but you can use olive oil if you would like.) This is a great recipe for those looking to make a paleo meal.

Fresh Pumpkin Bread with Zante Currants
This pumpkin bread has a perfect balance of spice and sweetness. The rehydrated Zante currants are what put this dish in a category of its own and why you should bring this to your next Fall themed party with friends.

Vegetarian Sandwich with Finnish Rye Bread
It’s no secret the farmer’s markets around the city are some of my favorite places to visit on a Saturday morning.
You can find any number of both familiar and new ingredients to play with and put together some fun weekend meals.
I took some of those ingredients and paired them with a Finnish Ruis (Rye) Bread from Nordic Breads based in Long Island City, Queens.
