September In My Kitchen

Well to be truthful, much of what I am sharing is from August, but there will be some things that will take us into September.  

But before i start sharing, some of you have been asking about my fur friend.  Here is a recent picture of him. 

I made this Apple and Blackberry vegan pie three times in the last couple of months.     

The recipe comes from Post Punk Kitchen vegan chefs Isa Chandra Moscowitz and Terry Hope Romero in their publication Vegan Pie In The Sky. 

The blackberries were foraged.    

The cooking apples from the garden.    

These are the last of our homegrown courgettes.    

I made this Southern Style Succotash  minus the hominy .    

And this Spanish Squash Saute - Calabacitas.    Both recipes came from Colour Me Vegan by Colleen Patrick-Goudreau.

This is a courgette bakes pressed into a tomato base came from 'What Will I do with all those Courgettes' by Elaine Borish.    

Last of the cherry tomatoes.    

This Summer Pilau with Tomato, Coconut and Cashew NutsTomato Pilau from Meera Sodha is a firm favourite in our home and now makes an appearance every year since purchasing the book in 2019.    

The tomatoes have been a delight this year, but with Autumn drawing closer, those that we have left are blighted by white fly, so these are the last.    

Just started harvesting the baby  beetroot.   I've roasted these in the oven with a little olive oil.  

Then made a simple potato salad, to keep the red theme I stirred in some thinly sliced red onions.    

This is the same salad but with the addition of some crumbled feta cheese.    I am sharing this part o of the blog post with Dave over at Happy Acres who hosts Harvest Monday. 

There are some supermarket products in my house too.  Popped Veggie crisps, that made a nice change from the potato variety.   

D also picked up some sour cream and onion Lentil crisps for me.    

My nephew gave me this bag of Crackze Pretzel Pieces in Jalapeno flavour.    He wasn't keen on them, i didn't mind them so much. 

Next to our homegrown potatoes that are only now being dug out of the ground, are some salted biscuits that D quite likes.   

Finally, some Bara Brith and bread.  Neither home-made, both came from St Fagan National Museum of History and the bakery on site.  The bread was lovely, i don't think we'll be getting the Bara Brith again though.    

I am sharing this blog post with Sherry of Sherry's Pickings for the In My Kitchen series.  Please do go by and check out the other contributions.
