1/2 C black spanish radish (or other kind of radish), peeled and grated
2 T balsamic vinegar
1 t maple syrup
1 t dijon mustard
1/2 t salt
1/4 t pepper
pinch nutmeg
pinch cayenne
3 C spinach, roughly chopped or torn (could also use swiss chard, collard greens, beet greens, or any other greens you love)
3 C kale, roughly chopped or torn (any kind of kale)
1 1/2 C radicchio, chopped
1/4 C roasted almonds, roughly chopped (for topping)
Instructions
Place bacon in cold pan, cook until crispy. Remove with slotted spoon and set on a paper towel to drain.
Either discard bacon grease from pan and add 2 T olive oil, or leave about 1 T bacon grease and add 1 T olive oil. Heat and add onion and radish. Cook 3-5 minutes, or until softened, over medium heat.
Remove stems from greens, wash well, and dry.
Add vinegar, maple syrup, dijon, and seasonings to the onion pan. Stir, then add all the radicchio and some of the greens, wilting down and tossing, then adding more greens and repeating until they are all gone. Turn the heat down to medium-low.
Once all greens are wilted, taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Cute persimmons are turned into a warm, fall tasting sauce when combined with cinnamon, nutmeg, and honey. Perfect to top some Cornmeal Pancakes.
Ingredients
6 persimmons, peeled and diced
1 t lemon juice
1/3 C water
1/4 t cinnamon
pinch nutmeg
1 T honey
pinch salt
Instructions
Combine all ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer. Stirring often, cook for about 30 minutes, or until persimmons are soft. (Optional: At about the 20 minute mark, when persimmons are fairly soft, mash with a fork to desired consistency. A potato masher, hand blender, or food processor could also be used.)

The perfect fall scone. With Cinnamon, Maple, and Apple, it just tastes like fall.
Ingredients
1 C whole wheat flour
1 C all purpose flour
2 1/2 t baking powder
1/2 t salt
1/4 C brown sugar
pinch nutmeg
1 t cinnamon
1 T maple syrup
splash vanilla
1/3 C plus 1/4 C milk
3/4 C heavy cream
1 granny smith apple, finely diced
1 T coconut oil (melted) (for brushing)
1-2 T brown sugar (for topping)
sprinkle of cinnamon (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400F.
Mix together flours, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar.
Measure milk and cream, and add vanilla and maple syrup. Stir together. Add to dry ingredients. Mix until ingredients just begin to come together, then fold in apples. The dough will be sticky. Turn it out onto a well floured surface and knead just enough to bring the dough completely together. Press into an 8-inch circle.
Brush with coconut oil and sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon.
With a floured knife, cut the circle into 8 wedges. Place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet, about 1 inch apart. Bake for 17-21 minutes or until golden brown.
