Must Have Fall Foods

As the weather starts to get colder, there are some foods that you definitely need to check out and start including in your fall menus...
- Parsnips - They are part of the carrot family and they are a delicious addition to any meal! You can roast or steam them and consider sweetening with a little pure maple syrup.
- Apples - Enjoy homemade applesauce this fall. It's so simple and very tasty! It's so sweet it can even make a great dessert. Here is my quick recipe: Prep 9 apples (washing them, remove the cores, and cut into quarters). Place in a large cooking pot with 1/2 cup of water. Bring the water to a boil and them turn to low heat and simmer for about 10 minutes. Mash the apples and serve warm or cold. Note: you can remove the skin of the apples but leaving the skin on, adds great flavor!
- Sweet Potatoes - Swap out plain old potatoes for sweet potatoes! In fact, try making sweet potato fries. Scrub the potatoes. Slice into thin strips, place on a baking sheet, and drizzle with olive oil. Bake at 425 degrees for about 30 minutes, or until crispy!

Ambarella drink

This is one of my favorites.

Ingredients
  1. 2 Medium size raw Ambarellas
  2. 3 Table Spoons of Sugar
Steps
  1. Wash Ambarellas thoroughly.
  2. Do not remove the green skin
  3. Cut small cubes (1cm x 1cm x 1cm) & put them to blender jug
  4. Cut cubs until you reach the spiny seed & do not forget to enjoy the seed while you continue with rest of the steps
  5. Add sugar
  6. Add one glass of water & start blending
  7. Blend for 1 minute with 2-3 pauses in the middle
  8. Add 2 more glasses of water, blend for 10s & serve
Things to try
  • Do not filter the juice, serve with small greeny pieces (result of skin getting crushed against blender blades) straight from blender jug
  • If you want to feel the pieces while drinking, reduce the blending time
  • Add some salt(but only a very little amount)
  • Choosing ripen Ambarellas would result in a different taste
Finally,
  • Clean up the mess

Measures

Unless specified, I always prepare for three. Hence you need to adjust the quantities to match your serving head count.

What you need?

Apart from the obvious, following items are needed during preparation.
  • A simple blender with tightly closing lid (it can get messy sometimes....believe me)
  • Drinking water(Do not use chlorinated water without boiling, as it sometimes can effect the taste)
  • Sugar
  • Salt
  • It is advisable not to serve some drinks in clear drinkware - not all drinks are visually appealing ;-)
  • Most importantly, a wife who do not mind you messing around in her kitchen ;-)
