Cinco de Mayo falls on Taco Tuesday this year. And we’re stuck inside because…well you know…the Corona virus. We’ve all seen the meme, right? Honestly, though, I’m okay with it. This menu is pretty yummy! It’s a Cinco de Mayo Menu to Enjoy All Year Long. And there’s a little something on the menu for everyone – including vegetarians.
My Cooking In Quarantine series continues! This blog post has a twist though – Traveling in Quarantine: Globally Inspired Meals to Keep Your Wanderlust Spirit Alive.

Missing your favorite restaurant yet?! I know I am! As the days of isolation and repetition drag on, I’ve trying to adapt in the kitchen, too. Cooking in Quarantine: Restaurant Favorites at Home is definitely a title I never thought would make it to Four Seasons of Autumn. It’s still hard to believe we’re living through a Global Pandemic and Sheltering in Place. In Michigan, Bars and Restaurants have been...
One of my favorite comfort food dishes is Beef Stroganoff. I know it’s a traditionally Russian dish but if you’re a mid-westerner (American) you likely grew up eating this dish! I know I did! It’s packed with so much flavor, however, not always the healthiest. So I came up with this Slimmed-Down Beef Stroganoff. It’s equally as delicious but cuts out a lot of the unnecessary carbs and calories.
So….I know all of us are probably cooking much more than we are used to (even me). And doing so on an even tighter budget! BUT we are in this TOGETHER! In an effort to help you get dinner on the table during this time of social distancing due to COVID-19, I’m working on pulling together easy, affordable, and meals – with mostly pantry ingredients. First up on Pantry Meals...

Chances are you’ve seen me use Banza pasta here at Four Seasons of Autumn or over on my Instagram page. I’ve been cooking with it for nearly a year now. It’s chickpea pasta with twice the protein and about half the net carbs as traditional pasta. The company recently sent me a box of three different types of their pasta. I got a little extra creative with the free stuff;...
I love repurposing a meal and finding tasty ways to use leftovers! Remember the Classic Sunday Pot Roast I shared earlier this week? Well it was a big meal for our family of three so we had a lot of leftovers. Nothing went to waste though! I used the leftovers to create this Leftover Pot Roast Pasta Ragu. This dish is crazy good you guys! It’s a great easy weekday...
It’s not a party without a cheese board. Period. Actually it’s not a date night without a cheese board. My husband would say otherwise. That’s neither here nor there – haha. I LOVE creating cheese boards! So, naturally I have to write about How To Build an Epic Cheese Board. I’m surprised it has taken me this long! The possibilities are endless! And there is no better combination than cheese...
Halloween is ONLY two weeks away and I have the cutest DIY toddler Halloween costume idea for you. We are going all out on Lukas’s Halloween costume this year!

Heirloom tomatoes, dill, capers, there’s so much color. I love it! I added two different types of smoked salmon;...

I had some much fun coming up with these Three Perfect Fall Soup and Salad Combinations! They’re a little bit hearty, a little bit healthy, and a whole lot of yum! Soup and Salad combinations are perfect...
Although I love fall, I desperately miss the summer flavors as it gets colder. And when it starts snowing I REALLY miss summer. Come January, there is nothing better than summer in a bottle via canned tomatoes. I have spent the last two weekends canning tomatoes so I make this Red Wine Tomato Basil Sauce all winter long. September is the BEST time for canning – the produce is perfect...
