Hello and welcome to a new month! The leaves are beginning to change color in my corner of the world, from green to yellow, bright orange and red. Nature's having one last fling before settling down for winter's deep sleep.

I've got Honey Crisp apples. Sweet, firm and tart, the Honey Crisp originated here in my home state, at the University of Minnesota. Although they were developed in the 1960's, they weren't released to the public until 1991.

I've got rich, dense bundt cake. Did you know the bundt pan was created in Minnesota in 1950 by H. David Dahlquist, founder of Minneapolis-based Nordic Ware? The name bundt comes from the German word bund, which means "community" or "a gathering of people." Mr. Dahlquist added the letter "t" to the end and trademarked the word.

You'll usually find a jar of Royal Blend rice on the pantry shelf. We love rice and this nutritious combination of Texmati white, brown, wild and red makes a great side dish. It's low-fat and an excellent source of fiber. I buy it locally but it can be ordered online.

I've got a crustless quiche (recipe here). It's perfect for any time of day: breakfast, lunch or dinner; goes together quickly and never disappoints. It's one of those marvelous recipes that uses up leftover veggies (tomatoes, mushrooms, asparagus, broccoli, green pepper), as well as bacon or ham and a variety of cheeses.
Thanks for stopping by. And thanks to the amazing Celia at Fig Jam and Lime Cordial, for providing this place for all of us to come together and share! Be sure you take a minute to visit the other kitchens joining the fun!
