Flavors of Autumn




Peppers & tomatoes at the end of their growing season. 

 Chestnuts are available at the laiki.

Our pomegranates are so sweet and juicy, mice have eaten most of them before we could pick any.

Mr. George gave us beautiful grapes from his vineyard. 

My neighbor is growing pumpkins. 

Apple-Cinnamon muffins...the children's new favorite treat.  

Persimmons...so sweet and beautiful. 

The best dessert I've has this autumn...κυδώνι με χαλβά (baked quince with halva). Absolutely dreamy. I can't wait to recreate this dish.

  3. Peter...you make me laugh! haha...I'm glad you like the autumn flavors. I thought I'd ease back into the blogosphere with something simple. The dessert was astounding, and you know my kids were fighting over every last bite! :)


    Amanda...Thank you! Yes, the bounty is amazing. Most of the veggies are gifted to us by either our gardener or our neighbors. That dessert was incredible. I have some quince left on our trees...I want to try make it. Yes, the U.S...they would love it!
