Dinner Tonight: Crockpot Chicken with Apple and Sweet Potato

December 5, 2013 Drew Fleisher

Chicken slow cooked with Yams, Apple Sauce, and curry make a hearty fall dinner that will warm anyone up.

I've been feeling under the weather this week, and wanted something that was warming and satisfying without being too heavy. I decided on yams and chicken because the yams are a lighter and more complex carb than white potatoes, and I thought that apple would go well with them and the chicken. Ginger and curry along with these flavors and garlic made the perfect blend without being over seasoned. Give this one a try on a cold winters night, you won't be sorry.

Dinner Tonight: Pork Harvest Stew

I love this time of year. Blustery and rainy days, temperatures cooling, and great squash and apples coming into season at grocers all over the North West. There is something timeless about the combination of apple and pork, and this stew pulls those flavors together with the help of a bit of rosemary, sage, and a whole lot of butternut squash.

Dinner tonight: Beef and Pumpkin Stew

Nothing like a nice thick stew on a crisp Fall evening!

Fall is here in force, and while we are enjoying crisp weather I also like to enjoy nice warming soups and stews. October is the time when great squash starts coming available, and I love using pumpkin and other squashes in savory stews in place of potatoes. Enjoy this little piece of Fat Boy Heaven with a nice dinner roll to soak up the broth.
