But the best part is the coffee infused foods inspired by America’s favorite drink. Coffee’s distinctive flavor can be a challenging taste to incorporate in meals, but when done just right, coffee infused foods can launch a humdrum meal to the status of a perfect cold brew. Whether steak, stew, or hamburger, coffee enriches the meat flavor while tenderizing the cut of meat. Coffee Infused Desserts Coffee and sweets go hand in hand, creating the perfect bittersweet moment that you want to taste again and again.
While pumpkin is the beloved flavor of fall (seriously, try finding something that’s not pumpkin-spiced this time of year), don’t forget the rest of the pumpkin family, especially squashes. Best known for that smooth, creamy butternut squash soup, butternut squash boasts a sweet yet nutty flavor reminiscent of its cousin, pumpkin. Often white with mottled greens, yellows, and orange markings, this pretty, seemingly miniature pumpkin has a sweet flavor when cooked. Instead of just pumpkin pie this fall, try pumpkin lasagna, pasta, or soup.
Build your menu around produce that comes into season around fall to add to the overall feeling of the season to the plate, decor, and food style. Once your food theme has been set into place, consider ways to think outside of the plate by incorporating a DIY Food Bar into the evening. Although simpler than a sit-down dinner party, food bars can be super fun as well and give your guests the perfect opportunity to mingle throughout the party as they much on some great food. Like an at-home chili cook-off (minus the competition), a chili bar can allow guests to sample a wide variety of chilis and discover their new favorite.
