Iced Pumpkin Cookies
Ah, pumpkin. I love the days when pumpkin starts popping up everywhere. Although it feels nothing remotely like fall here, I can't fight the urge to bake with pumpkin, and this recipe was the perfect place to start. These cookies have a soft, cake-like texture and are the epitome of fall flavor. They are topped with a delicious cream cheese icing that turns these tasty cookies into heavenly treats.

Honey Chipotle Grilled Corn
Corn is my absolute favorite vegetable, and one of the best ways to cook it is on the grill. Cooking corn on the grill (or in a grill pan, in my case) really brings out its sweet flavors. The additional sweetness of the honey perfectly complements the smokiness of the chipotles and gives this corn an extraordinary flavor. It would make a great side dish to pretty much any meal.

Chicken Enchiladas
I love enchiladas, but my first attempt to make them at home turned out miserably (thank you, jarred sauce). I've come a long way in my cooking since that time, and these enchiladas are definitely proof of that. These are simply delicious and would be great served with Mexican rice and black beans. They also make great leftovers! The only change I would make next time is to incorporate a chipotle in adobo. They impart such a wonderful smoky flavor, and I love finding reasons to use them in my cooking.

Stuffed Flank Steak with Monterey Jack Cheese Grits
I'm quickly discovering how amazing and versatile flank steak can be. We've made some of my favorite dishes using steak that I formerly thought was too tough to use for anything but fajitas. Boy was I wrong! This steak is tender and moist, and the Tex-Mex flavors really shine through. The creamy grits are enhanced by the wonderful flavor of Monterey Jack cheese. The flavors and textures of the steak and grits compliment each other perfectly and form a dish that could easily make you swoon. My other favorite flank steak recipes:Flank Steak with Chimichurri

Garlic Glazed Chicken Pizza
Eric and I recently purchased a pizza stone, and we've both really enjoyed using it. Although our first attempt at pizza didn't turn out perfectly, this one definitely did. The chicken packs a bit of punch, but it pairs wonderfully with the creaminess of the Gruyere and Mozzarella cheeses. The garlic glaze imparts a wonderfully sweet flavor and gives this pizza a bit of Asian flair.We've had leftover chicken every time we've made this, as I didn't want to overcrowd the pizza with chicken. I'm sure it would be great the next day over steamed rice (or it might just get eaten while you're waiting on the pizza to bake). ; )
