On the search for comforting recipes to try this fall? Denver-based food blogger Rocky Mountain Cooking has created a host of recipes that perfectly reflect the Colorado lifestyle. Whether you’re interested in a hearty soup, zesty main entree, or creative dessert, you’ll find what you’re looking for on her site. Here, we’ve compiled a few of our favorite that are great for enjoying on these fall evenings:
Need to warm up on a chilly night? This French chicken onion soup is even more comforting than the classic version. It’s packed with caramelized onions, rotisserie chicken, and Gruyere cheese for a complex, nutty flavor. If you have time and would like to kick this recipe up a notch, use homemade chicken stock and croutons.
It’s almost time for Oktoberfest, and this German pot roast pairs perfectly with a cold beer. Sauerbraten may sound complicated to make, but it’s fairly straightforward. Although you’ll need to marinate the meat and carrots for 2-3 days, the intense flavors are well worth waiting for. In addition to serving with your favorite beer, Heather from Rocky Mountain Cooking recommends pairing this dish with roasted or mashed potatoes.
Don’t want to wait until Thanksgiving to enjoy perfectly-cooked turkey? This out-of-the-box chipotle honey glazed turkey is a combination of sweet and spicy, thanks to the chilies in adobo, honey, and orange juice on the ingredient list. If you fall in love with the chipotle honey glaze, you can add it to a multitude of recipes, including chicken wings or baked ham. If you’re on the search for sides to serve with this recipe, you can’t go wrong with cranberry sauce and roasted or steamed green beans.
A great fall meal isn’t complete without a decadent dessert. If you’re on the search for a twist on a classic recipe, these Irish cream chocolate chip cookies fit the bill. Unlike pie or other desserts, these cookies are super simple to make and the Irish cream makes them extra moist and soft.
