This burger was inspired by my favorite veggie burger in Kansas City found at Beer Kitchen – the amazing restaurant that inspired this Whiskey BBQ Ketchup. Their “black bean burger” had a modest description but the flavor and texture are anything but. It’s tender without being mushy, not too sweet, not too salty, hearty, and seriously satisfying.

Persimmon and Pancetta Risotta

Persimmons come into season in the fall through early winter. They contain antioxidants - so very healthy for you. There are 2 varieties of persimmons and have many uses. I found the Fuya variety at Trader Joes and can be eaten like an apple. Persimmons come into season in the fall through early winter.

Cranberry Crumble Pie

The cranberry compote's jammy texture holds the fruity filling together for this dessert, which presents a cranberry crumble in pie form. Plenty of warm spices in the filling help to balance the buttery crumble topping.

Brandy Pecan Pie

A blend of turbinado sugar, maple syrup, and honey makes for a pecan pie with a well-rounded sweetness. A dash of apple brandy adds a faint caramel apple flavor and brightens the nutty toasted pecans.
