This week the Fireflies at Dusk Project was all about making and eating good Autumn food. This included roasted pumpkin seeds, butternut squash soup with spiced roasted pecans sprinkled on top, and baked cinnamon apples. Here were the highlights...

| Tomato bisque soup with a dollop of sour cream and crushed pistachios for lunch on a busy Saturday. |
 |
| Mini berry cobblers for all! Made with an oatmeal topping and homemade vanilla ice cream for dessert at the end of a long day. |
Many of the good memories through the seasons of my life have been connected to food. One of the most important aspects of a culture is its food, and a generation is a culture within itself. Many Gen Xers grew up on a lot of processed food/convenience food, and there has been a gradual movement of Xers trying to get back to natural/homemade foods. There are all kinds of food allergies that didn't exist a generation ago, too. I've decided to create a "page" (which can be found at the top of this blog on the homepage) about revisiting Gen X American food in a new and healthier way.
