Roasting fennel bulb and strips of bell peppers, then marinate in olive oil, lemon juice and capers serve with fat free feta cheese and toasted French Breads

Chayote Squash with the seeds removed

Fresh ripe pear puree with apple juice ( cook whole for 20 mins then remove the stems and cores and blend well) this is PURE fresh pear flavor and is great in place of any syrup for any recipe, a great way to use up pears which all seem to ripen overnight, today I used them in my breads instead of sugar.

The whole wheat, sourdough bread dough with pear puree and cinnamon

Yam and potato soup (with bell pepper)

Curried lentil soup

Fall Vegetable stew to be served with the rice and veggie pancakes, tomato-cumin base with oregano

Previous 2 the rice and vegetable pancakes, the recipe is in my first recipe book, Recipes for Success available on www.amazon/kindle.com

Sour dough bread unlike regular yeasted bread, has to dry out overnight, or it will produce mold very quickly

Fresh pumpkin cake

This is a bumper menu as I have also made a cauliflower curry with chickpeas and sweet potatoes, an Italian Rice bake with cheese, an almond-cheese polenta and some peanut butter cookies.
As per usual the temperature is hot again as the hot Mojave desert winds are blowing in and the day time temp at my home is 85F in the shade.
Have a great week, and to those who do celebrate it, Happy Thanksgiving. john Nigel
