The Dinner A’Fare October Dinner Ideas

French Beef with Herbed Dumplings – This is such a warm, feel good dish! Great to serve in soup mugs or on a bed of egg noodles. It has that French bistro flare.

Seville Almond Chicken – This can dish can be served three different ways; serve the rice to the side of the chicken, serve the chicken over the rice with the orange glaze or mix it all together for a different style paella. Either way you will love the flavors.

Ricotta Stuffed Eggplant Parmesan – This is great layered up like a lasagna or keep each portion separated for an up-scaled plate serving. This dish can go from rustic to gourmet when you serve it with buttered linguine or garlic bread and a salad. It’s even fun to use as a 1st plate in an Italian three course meal.

Spiced Tilapia with Tomatillo Salsa – Want a beautifully dressed salad, just add the spiced tilapia over the greens for a great protein addition, you can even dress pasta with peppers and onions and serve this fish over the bed of pasta. And the great salsa can transition to any of these. Make it fun and exciting instead of just sitting by some vegetables.

Pork Tenderloin with Coconut Lentils and Spinach – What a great dish for the season, and ideal to cook on Sunday for a big dinner with the family! Just serve it Italian Family Style by taking a large platter and placing a bed of lentils down first, top with spinach and thin slice the tenderloin. Gracefully layer the tenderloin down the center and you have a display fit for a picture. These are also so easy to serve separate for those picky eaters who don’t like their food to touch.

Chicken Apple Alouette – A perfect dinner to impress the boss or mother-n-law. These beautiful, individual wraps favor wellingtons and give a true upscale presence to the plate. These are also perfect to save for the holidays when you have friends over.

Steak Soft Tacos with Horseradish Bleu Cheese – Fun, fun, fun food for tailgates! Cook the steak off ahead of time, then wrap in foil. Place on the grill to reheat and serve up in the soft tortillas with lettuce and tomato and you will have people dropping their bratwurst to come to your camp to eat.

Southwest BBQ Pulled Pork Egg Rolls – These are great for dinner, as snacks during the Sunday football game, appetizers at your Halloween party or to be honest they’re good anytime you feel fit to enjoy them!

Rustic Chicken and Potato Gratine – Kids having a sleep over with their buddies, and don’t know what to feed them? Of course you don’t want them to be picky and not eat, or even go home and tell their mom they had chicken fingers and French fries at your house. Serve this dish up….it’s kid proof and super yummy!

 Chili Con Carne – Three great ways to serve our chili is you can do it the tradition way, in a bowl with a spoon, but if you want to jazz it up, make nachos out of it. Layer a platter with tortilla chips, pour over the chili, add the cheese and dress with sour cream and jalapeno. Another cool way to serve it different is to make a pan of corn bread, cut the bread into portions then slice them in half through the center. Lay the bottom portion down on the plate; layer with chili and cheese and then place the top portion of the cornbread over the chili. Now you’re talking!

Szechuan Shrimp – This shrimp is great as a center of the plate option, but why settle? Add it to stir-fried vegetables or even a portion of lo mein. You can even serve this shrimp with toothpicks for that pick-me-up at your next get together.

Walnut and Cheddar Stuffed Pork Chops – Want to do something nice for the neighbor who’s stuck at home sick, but don’t want to send another house plant…..make them a dinner they will rave about. Cook our stuffed chops in a disposable pan and you won’t even have to worry about getting your dish back. 

Crusted Chicken with Jalapeno Corn Salsa – This is so yummy! Perfect, eclectic dish that is sure to impress. Cook it before the high school Friday night football game and it will get them fired up!

Caribbean Pork Dirty Rice – Won’t have time to cook supper tomorrow, then cook it tonight. Most dishes, especially rice don’t reheat well, but this recipe gets even better. We formulated this recipe to absorb all the spices, and become even better and bolder on the second day. Who said you have to eat fast-food on the days you can’t cook?

White Lasagna with Chicken and Artichokes  - Need your teenager to start supper, but don’t trust them in the kitchen, not a problem. Call home and tell them to put this lasagna in the oven, all they have to do is push a button. And the best part they won’t complain about having to do a chore.
