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.

Orange-Blueberry-Yogurt Breakfast Parfaits
My family loves this simple parfait for breakfast or dessert (depending on your yogurt and granola choices). The orange zest adds a fresh pop to your usual yogurt parfait. I like serving these on the 4th of July!
Chicken Savoy
A whole chicken cut into pieces and baked with a simple mixture of olive oil, chicken stock, garlic, spices and cheese - topped with balsamic vinegar just before serving. The best Chicken Savoy on the planet is served at the Belmont Tavern in Bloomfield, where it was invented by Stretch himself. Go there, order Savoy for two, and order Zita with pot cheese. They make a wonderful combination. The place is not fancy, but the food is outstanding. This is a recipe to eat with your fingers and get juices on your hands. Yum!
Feta Chicken
Chicken wrapped around tomato-basil flavored feta cheese--simple, succulent, and sensational.
