Chicken with Ginger and Green Onion Salt Dip

Credit: Randy Mayor; Jan Gautro
This pungent dip is, as the name suggests, salty. Use it in small amounts. The Vietnamese boil chicken with the skin on and chop the bird into bite-sized pieces through the bones. The chicken is then dipped into this fragrant condiment and eaten with rice on the side. Steamed, roasted, or grilled chicken also will work. Here, shredded rotisserie chicken breast makes this a quick and easy dish. You can also drizzle some of the dip over the chicken and serve the rest in a small bowl.

Simply Roasted Pork

Use apple jelly in place of the apricot preserves for a slightly sweeter flavor. This roasted pork makes a quick transition from warm Sunday dinner to cool Monday lunch without compromising flavor. Serve with roasted red skin potatoes or mashed potatoes, broccoli spears or collard greens, and warm dinner rolls.

Green Beans With Caramelized Garlic

Gently cooking the garlic in oil mellows the flavor and tenderizes the cloves. Once you've removed the cloves, store garlic-infused oil in a jar in the fridge up to one month to add garlicky goodness to other dishes.

Pepperoni Pizza

Credit: Photo: Ralph Anderson; Styling: Rose Nguyen
Pepperoni pizza is a classic favorite, and in less than 20 minutes, you can make this light and healthy version. The whole wheat crust has more fiber and nutrients than a white flour crust, and using part-skim mozzarella saves on calories without compromising any flavor.

Chicken Breasts Stuffed with Garlic and Herbed Goat Cheese

Credit: Becky Luigart-Stayner; Leigh Ann Ross
Roasting the garlic mellows its bite and gives the stuffing a subtle hint of flavor. Stuff the chicken breasts up to a day ahead, refrigerate, and cook them just before guests arrive. Garnish each plate with a rosemary sprig.

Chicken with Cider and Bacon Sauce

Credit: Becky Luigart-Stayner
Apple cider and bacon give this easy sauce a salty, tangy-sweet flavor that's hard to resist. In fact, you might want to double the amount of sauce so you'll have a little extra to spoon over rice. Pounding the chicken into thinner pieces helps decrease the cooking time.

Butternut Squash and Apple Relish

Brown suggests using an heirloom variety of apple in this dish, if available. Also, we found Fuji apples work well. Serve with turkey, duck, or pork. At the White Dog Cafe, Brown also serves this raw relish with smoked salmon.

Persimmon-Walnut Oil Salad

Credit: Becky Luigart-Stayner; Cindy Barr
This simple salad is made special with the use of high-quality ingredients. Choose crisp, globe-shaped Fuyu persimmons, which remain firm even when ripe--making them an ideal ingredient for fall salads. The heart-shaped Hachiya persimmon, which does not become sweet until its flesh is quite soft, is better suited for baking.

Fennel and Comice Pear Soup

Credit: Monica Buck
Fennel, also called sweet anise or finocchio, is crunchy and has a lovely anisey flavor. It has three distinct parts: the stalks, the feathery fronds (which can be used as an herb), and the pale green bulbs. Comice pears are large and very sweet and juicy. Together they make a perfect seasonal first course.
