Still summer

I know it’s still summer, but my magazines are telling me it’s fall.

The September issues of my favorite cooking magazines are full of roasted root vegetables, hearty ragouts, stuffed pork tenderloins and dense chocolate cakes.

I’ve had enough salads and grilled fish for a while. It’s time for food that will put some meat on your bones.

I’m not giving up on my favorite insalata caprese yet, but I’m armed with recipes that will be perfect for the first September night when there’s a little chill in the air.

Labor Day weekend will be my last hurrah for grilled hamburgers and ice cream pie. But next week, when the calendar says September, I’ll be making these baked apples.

Baked Apples
4 Granny Smith apples
1/2 cup raisins
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/3 cup apple juice or water
1. Use an apple corer or knife to remove cores from apples. Peel a strip from the top of each apple. Place apples in a 2-quart baking dish. Set aside.
2. In a small bowl, stir together raisins, brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Spoon raisin mixture into centers of apples. Pour apple juice into casserole around the apples.
3. Bake, uncovered, in a 350 degree oven for 40 to 45 minutes or until the apples are tender, basting occasionally with the apple juice. Serve warm with ice cream.

I'm with you. I made homemade chicken noodle soup the other night for dinner. Bring on the fall food.

I would like your help, if I may, but I'm not sure how to get in touch with you. I am looking for a place that will accept a collection of my Mother's cookbooks. She died recently and I am just now going through everything. (I will keep Cleora's Kitchen) If you have any knowledge of any one I can list cookbooks or help as I can. Thank you. K

She has covered crime, city government and general assignment beats during that time - but mostly crime. But when she isn’t at work, Nicole is a devoted food hobbyist. She enjoys meal planning and cooking with her husband, Steve, every day of the week and on holidays it’s a family affair. When the opportunity to become the food writer at the Tulsa World presented itself in the summer of 2011, Nicole jumped at it. She is excited to explore a new side of Tulsa and make the transition from crime to cuisine. .
