Fall feast. Those are the words I would use to describe the recipes of week 44. Rated around our Sunday dinner table, the Autumn Butternut Squash Soup (p.113) was the biggest surprise recipe of this week of cooking through Magnolia Table in a year. Similarly, the Toasted Pepitas (p.114) and Sunday Supper Beef Tips (p.263) were a big hit, with the beef tips being wiped out before I could even take a picture! While the holiday season is upon us, if you want a few more tastes of fall, definitely add these recipes….

Happy Halloween!! We officially have less than 10 weeks left of cooking through Magnolia Table in a year. What a journey! I feel like the countdown is on, but I want to savor these last weeks of this experience and of 2022. These next 9 weeks are some of my absolute favorites of the year and I am thrilled to be sharing our Magnolia Table moments at the same time.  This week of Magnolia moments brought us The Best Ever Fluffy Pancakes (p.51) and Cinnamon Swirl & Walnut Quick Bread (p.58) which both were tremendous. While our Sunday dinner crowd last night also reviewed a couple of the recipes for this upcoming week and topped dinner off with the delicious Cinnamon Swirl & Walnut Quick Bread (it can float between breakfast and dessert easily!), we had the most wonderful combination of fall recipes….

Week 42! Growing up, as soon as the weather was remotely chilly, my mom served soups, chilis or stews for at least one meal a week, if not more. While my brothers might have a different take, this created in me a deep love of a hot bowl of goodness. Easy, comforting and so delicious, a good stew can warm both the body and the soul. That being said, I was greatly looking forward to this week of our cooking through Magnolia Table in a year which featured Dedication Casserole (p.199), Beef Stew (p.261) and Jalapeno Cornbread (p.262). As the Beef Stew and Jalapeno Cornbread  were served at our Sunday Dinner, they received very well rounded ratings and were quite enjoyed….

While it seems like we just left the soup section a couple of weeks ago, it actually has been 30 odd weeks since our last soup recipe. Despite this week not officially having a soup recipe, the Chicken Pot Pie had many soup-like tendencies that were warm, comforting and perfect for the chilly weather that is slowly setting in. This week of cooking through Magnolia Table in a year brought us the Quick Orange Walnut Sweet Rolls (p.57) and Chicken Pot Pie (p.197) mentioned above. Both recipes were delicious and thoroughly enjoyed around our table, so I highly recommend trying them out if you are looking for delicious, heart warming….

Oh my goodness, 12 weeks to go! With 40 weeks complete, we have 12 more weeks of cooking through Magnolia Table in a year. This has been such a fun journey with MANY recipes added to our family favorites list. This week included several of those recipes as we tried King Ranch Chicken (p.207), Sheet Pan Nachos (p.151) and Fresh Tomato Salsa (p.157). As they all were within the greater “Mexican” food cuisine type, many of the ingredients overlapped between the dishes which was a huge benefit when it came to….

I have never felt a year go by more quickly than this year. I am not sure if it is because I have been counting every week through this challenge and now realize we are almost done, or if it is because I am getting older and they always say that time flies the older you get. Whatever the case, it is hard to believe that we have completed 39 weeks of cooking through Magnolia Table in a year. With only 34 recipes to go and 105 complete, we are racing towards the finish line. This week of delicious Potato Gratin Mini Stacks (p.179) and Steamed Artichokes (p.185) moved us closer and closer towards that goal, which I know….

Week 36! While this week’s recipes of Beef Enchiladas (p.257), Apple Cider Salad (p.119) and Apple Cider Vinaigrette (p.119) are not typically encouraged to go together, we enjoyed a delicious dinner including all three. Of all the recipes we have tried in cooking through Magnolia Table this year, I would not have said that beef enchiladas paired with a salad would have been the best comfort foods, but for this past week, with all our crazy schedules and the ups and downs life throws in, these recipes were perfect. Fresh, flavorful and delicious, both Charlie and I thoroughly enjoyed these recipes and most certainly recommend trying them out, although perhaps…..

34 weeks down, 18 to go! The realization that this year has been going so incredibly fast really hit me last night as we celebrated the first Sunday dinner of the school year.  As my brother, sister in law and their friends joined us around our table once again, I realized just how quickly time flies, as it seemed like yesterday that they were first joining us on the cooking through Magnolia Table journey back at week 4’s Tomato Basil Soup. Here we are though, 30 weeks later, and I tell you the journey has been such a sweet one, and certainly one that I recommend for anyone that is wishing to grow both their culinary palettes and local community. That being said, this week brought us two delicious recipes which both were thoroughly enjoyed: Baked Brie (p.150) and Jo’s Fatayar (p.244)….
