Food Network Mag Review - October 2011

I'm excited to share another Food Network Magazine review with you! I'm very late sharing, seeing as though Halloween getting really close, but a lot of my top picks from this issue will be great for all the other fall meals coming up.













My husband loves hot pockets so we had to try these! The dough was a bit hard to roll out so in the future I might use pizza dough instead.  This chorizo recipe has just enough spice. I'm also determined to figure out a good way to freeze them.

I have an arsenal of soup recipes from this magazine. We tried the cover recipe. It's good and easy but I'd recommend their clone of Panera broccoli cheddar soup instead, now that's delicious!

This weeknight dinner has quickly become a favorite; we've had it twice in two weeks.  Hubby doesn't like gnocchi so we substituted with cheese tortellini, it's a perfect fall meal, you HAVE to try this if you try anything from this issue.

We tried this side dish with parsnip instead of celery root and it would be great for Thanksgiving. Page 127 Roasted Celery Root and Carrots





We haven't tried this cocktail yet but it's beautiful, so I want to!  It helps that it sounds yummy too!

This is my part of the review where I tell you just buy the issue; I can't reveal everything! There are so many pumpkin desserts that I'll bet you can't find enough occasions to make each one this fall.  Get the magazine and save them for next year!  I've tried the whoopie pies so far and they were a huge hit.

Also, the October issue is full of fun halloween treats that aren't available online, so you'll need the issue to see them. But, I'll let you in on one, "frost" nutter butter cookies with fluff to make ghosts, add gel frosting for little eyes - so cute and I'll bet, delicious too.




Enjoy!

  1. Another great issue! I actually make a sausage bread that looks similar to those hot pockets, and pizza dough is the way to go! I've got to go back through this one to pull out some of the recipes, but I'm always excited when Mom is done with it and gives it to me!

  2. It's funny, we get this magazine too but we never seem to make any of the recipes. Haha. I can live vicariously through you!
