PUMPKIN AND PEAR BISQUE WITH GOAT CHEESE
Fresh pumpkin and succulent pears are roasted together before being blended into a creamy bisque. From the caramelization that results with roasting veggies, these two perfect fall flavors deepen dramatically and make a savory soup with a sweet undertone.

MAKE-AT-HOME CREME FRAICHE
Creme Fraiche is a thick and tangy French cream which is like a smoother and richer sour cream. If using in a recipe, it would be best to prepare the day before as it has to be allowed to sit at room temperature about 8 hours, then chilled before use. I found this very easy recipe in Cuisine at Home.
