As the holiday season approaches, I start to dream about what dishes to prepare and this will definitely be on one of my menus.

The marsala wine adds a nice sweetness and the mushrooms pair nicely … Gruyere Risotto with Marsala Mushrooms
This curry dish is so incredibly flavorful and celebrates fall flavors. A full can of pumpkin puree is added to the sauce which provides a wonderful creaminess and helps to thicken it (and it adds a boatload of fiber and vitamin A!).

I finally had time to organize my pantry and I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of healthy grains, canned goods and spices I had.
