Apple, Pear and Onion Tarte Salée

By On September 16, 2011 In Baked Goods, Dinner, Gluten-Free, Pies With 10 Comments Permanent Link to Apple, Pear and Onion Tarte SaléePermalink

This savory tart is hearty enough to call a pie and delicious enough to star as a fantastic main course. I’ve always loved the combination of apples, onions and cheeze and decided to incorporate all three in this special entrée. The addition of unripened Bartlett pears gives it an extra touch of sweetness and unexpected flavor.

Inspired by my ongoing obsession with French everything, this tart is excellent for impressing house guests, or even just your favorite people who sit alongside you at the dinner table.

Spiced Apple Galette

Autumn is officially on its way, and with it comes chills in the air, vibrant colors in the trees, great camping weather, the perfect excuse to overuse nutmeg in everything, and of course, plenty of apples. Because of these things (and Halloween!), Autumn is without a doubt the season I most look forward to. I like to pretend that Summer is my favorite (and I love to gripe about being cold)… but I cannot deny the excitement I feel when I notice the leaves begin to fall. I have already busted out my corduroys…

From Labor Day to Thanksgiving, I like to take advantage of the glorious bounty that Autumn brings. Brace yourself folks, I’m about to stretch this season out as long as I possibly can. Starting now.

Hope you all like apples, pumpkins, black cats, and mulling spices… because it may get a little ridiculous around here.

Let’s kick off this early tribute to Fall with a little gluten-free galette, shall we? Truly a great way to say “bye bye” to summer and “how do you do?” to Autumn-like comfort food.

The ingredients for this salad came together based on what I had on hand, including the first two crops ready for harvest in our garden: mint and green onions. Yay for homegrown food!

We had also picked up some “real” tomatoes from the farmers market earlier this week, so I threw them in there too. All the flavors mingled together very nicely.

Tossed with pureed avocado (my favorite base for a salad dressing), this little concoction was surprisingly good!

It’s like a minty, beany, pasta salad!

Pumpkin Apple Ginger Soup

pumpkin apple soup

This is by far the best “convenient” soup I have ever made.  The second I tasted it, I knew I would be devouring the entire pot.  I have been on a canned pumpkin binge ever since I made  this pumpkin chili recipe from GlueandGlitter.com.  That particular recipe inspired me to combine everything under the sun with canned pumpkin and heat it all up in one pot….several different times.

I am especially fond of the recipe I share with you today.  It has a great flavor with the apples, ginger and garlic, and the pumpkin acts as the perfect base for it all.

This soup is hearty, tasty, and low in fat.  It also takes no time to prepare and is very filling, especially if you opt for the frozen veggies as I did.  Using fresh grated ginger is a plus… but since we are already starting with the canned pumpkin… there’s no need to be picky.
