Two of my favorite fall recipes

Spinach, bacon, and portobello quiche

1 10oz package frozen chopped spinach, defrosted and squeezed dry-ish
2 eggs
2/3 c milk (preferably whole milk)
1 c finely shredded cheese (I like colby jack)
1/4-1/3 c cooked bacon, crumbled (I sometimes cook up my own, or sometimes I grab the pre-cooked-and-crumbled stuff from the salad dressing isle)
1 c portobello mushrooms, sliced and sauteed
Pie crust, rolled into pie pan

Mix everything together well, then dump into the pie crust. Bake at 375* for 30-40 minutes, or until the center is set. It's good hot, cold, or re-warmed, and I have eaten it for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and late-night snack. Tasty!


Pork roast with rosemary and garlic

1 pork butt or shoulder roast, apprx 2.5 lbs
1 clove garlic, roughly chopped
1T fresh rosemary, minced
2t savory (optional)
salt and pepper to taste
about half a bottle hard apple cider

Equipment needed: cast iron enamel pot with lid.

Heat your pot on the stove. Melt a little tiny bit of butter in the bottom of the pan, then throw the meat in. Let it sit for a couple minutes on each side so everything gets brown and tasty.
Pull the meat out. Over low heat, dump the hard cider in, then scrub the bottom of the pan with some sort of spoon to get all the brown bits off. Add the rest of the stuff, then add the pork. I'll usually sort of roll the pork over so the goodness gets all over it.
Cover and bake at 325 for an hour and a half, or until the meat starts to get tender. It should be easy to separate with a fork, but should hold its shape.
