Doesn't this just look like a bite of fall flavor? |
Really, I am not sure what else I would call tonight's dinner. It was so pretty...very similar to the Jamaican Jumble I made a few months ago, but in a completely different category at the same time. It had all the basic fall components...squash, swiss chard, cranberries, pecans; and just because we had some leftover in the fridge, diced pork tenderloin. I used a sweeter spice mix with it - cinnamon, clove, allspice - and baked everything but the cranberries and pecans together. I reduced the cranberries and pecans down on the stove into a sort of chutney texture and spread that on top of the casserole before serving. I loved it. And I loved that it was a healthy meal, and cleaned out some leftovers. A win-win!!
Still haven't worked out the Thanksgiving menu. Seems like I just am avoiding it so I need to just sit and force myself to work out. I was thinking about it while I ran last night but just ended up drifting off and letting my mind wander while I pounded the pavement. I guess I needed that more!!
This looks outstanding. I never would have thought of the combination and I think the idea of sweeter spices is perfect to bring out the fall flavors. Thanks for sharing!!
