I wanted something easy and fitting for an autumn gathering. I found a sweet potato hummus recipe and altered it to make it even easier to make. It is a nice combination of naturally sweet and typically savory. Serve with pita wedges, crackers, or cut veggies.

Scacce Ragusane (Sicilian Stuffed Flatbread)
This is my first attempt ever at this incredibly unique and delicious Sicilian stuffed flatbread (scacce Ragusane) recipe. What we have here is a very familiar pizza-like flavor profile, but the delivery system is unlike anything you've ever experienced. The outside edges are crispy and crunchy while that saucy and cheesy center is much like pasta in texture. So, while this is vaguely similar to a lot of things, it's really unlike anything else.
Stir Fried Kale
A great way to use up some of the extra kale you might have in your garden! You can use other similar greens in this recipe - spinach, mustard greens, and arugula will all work. A mixture of greens is also quite good. Serve as a salad, as a side dish, or as a main dish with rice.
