Although it’s a balmy 80 degrees in Los Angeles today, the calendar swears it’s time for Autumn. I’ve been scouring my cookbooks and online blogs for seasonal recipes, so I’m prepared once the thermostat drops. We’re planning a bunch of dinner parties in the next couple of months (Halloween, my birthday, Thanksgiving…), and I need to test out some recipes. I’m thinking short ribs could be a delicious option for the Halloween party (plus short-ribs sounds like an appropriate dish for the Holiday).

Here’s some of favorites I’ve tagged:

The Pioneer Woman's Short Ribs with Wine and Cream
The Beerista's Butternut Squash and Spinach Gratin with Autumn Maple Sauce
Smitten Kitchen's Balsamic Glazed Brussel Sprouts with Pancetta
Tartlette Saffron Pumpkin Macarons
Barefoot Contessa's Perfect Roasted Chicken
The Amateur Gourmet's Mushroom Bourguignon
