Anything better than Fall peas, or what's your favorite end of season veggies?

Parsnips, turnips, squashes.

It’s apple and grape harvest in my county right now. The local “Apple Hill” up in the mountains above me has about 50 ranches open and their apples and baked goods are to die for.

It’s also incredibly beautiful, all the orchards and pumpkin fields at a 3000 foot elevation.

So yes! My favorite is all the farm fresh Apples and delicious wine and table grapes that our county is renowned for!

I live in California, so we pretty much have access to good produce year round. I agree with @downtide with those yummy choices.

I love roasted vegetables, especially butternut squash, but I’ve also recently discovered rutabagas!

And I love potatoes of any kind in just about any incarnation you can imagine from roasted to baked to scalloped to mashed and potatoes put into Beer Cheese Soup and home fries and loaded potato skins.

And one of my favorite salads is this Raw Kale and Root Veggies Salad

For Thanksgiving this year, I think I might make some Parsnip Puree instead of or in addition to mashed potatoes.

Beans are pretty much a year round item, but who doesn’t love a hot bowl of steaming bean soup? Here’s a delicious White Bean and Kale Soup

Last week, I had some yummy Korean white radishes, which are midly spicy. I ended up making a hot and sour soup loosely based on This Recipe. I didn’t have either the bamboo shoots or the water chestnuts so I added about a quarter of a cup of matchstick sized pieces of the Korean radish, plus another quarter cup of finely chopped red bell pepper, and I added 6 Tablespoons, instead of just 2, of vinegar (a mix of white, red wine and rice vinegars) which really made all the difference. Then during the last five minutes of cooking I added a quarter cup of thinly sliced celery. I used shiitake mushrooms, only, because that is what I had, and I chopped them up very fine. This is probably the best soup I’ve ever made! And it’s really easy. It would probably taste really good if I added some pieces of diced marinated baked tofu too, but I didn’t have any. You can always use regular radishes or even some turnips in this recipe. It’s crunchy and chewy and oh so warm and spicy, without being overwhelmingly hot.

Another good Thanksgiving recipe that I discovered is this Raw Sweet Potato Slaw. This is one of my newest “Go To” recipes for potlucks.

And I can’t believe my luck that I actually found a recipe for Fresh Spring Rolls with Sweet Potatoes and Green Beans. Those are not the typical fillings inside spring rolls, but to me this sounds divine!
