I LOVE kabocha squash, butternut squash, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, kale, cauliflower and dates (YESSSSSSS)! Eggplant is another superb ingredient. Seriously craving some air-fried eggplant with tomato sauce–it tastes like Italy to me!
They’re so good! Air-fried eggplant sounds delicious.

As much as I love summer, I do look forward to fall cooking with all the layers of flavors and textures. The biggest challenge is “where on this list to start?” Thanks for compiling it.
Awww yeah! I forgot about the pumpkin peanut butter soup! As soon as it cools back down here in the south (we just had false fall) I’m putting it on the menu!
So good! Hope you get a chance to make it soon!
everything looks perfect, dishes looks so amazing and mouth buttering.
Thank you! Hope you can try some of them 🙂
