Stuffed Pumpkin with Cranberry-Raisin Bread Pudding

Caramelized Balsamic-Red Onion Soup with Cheese-Topped Croutons Recipe
Instead of the white onions you'll find in a more traditional French onion soup, this recipe calls for red onions, cooked down until nicely caramelized. Their sweetness is then amplified by a quarter cup of balsamic vinegar. Soy sauce and mustard add some much needed depth and balance. Each bowl is topped with a piece of toasted bread with cheese on top.
SIMPLE MIZUNA SALAD
One of the best things about joining a CSA or frequenting your local farmers market is getting to enjoy all the vegetables that you may not typically purchase at your grocery store.
Chicken with black beans, cilantro, onion, bell peppers, jalapeno, sharp cheddar cheese and some seasonings then stuff the mixture into the poblano peppers. Top each baked stuffed pepper with guacamole and served them with a side of salsa.

When I get a craving for meatballs, I have a very specific meatball in mind: They're completely tender all the way through without even a hint of toughness. They're big enough to require a fork, but modest enough to justify several on the plate. Maybe some onions and fresh herbs mixed in. Nothing fancy. Totally old-school.
Yes, this is a recipe for those very meatballs. More than a recipe — I'm walking you through each step, from mixing the meat (use your hands!) to shaping the meatballs to cooking them to perfection. I know what I'm having for dinner tonight. Do you?
