Penne ai funghi (Penne with Mushroom and Tomato Sauce) by Frank Fariello

Fall is my favorite season, and one of the best reasons to love the Fall is all the wonderful food you get to eat! The sprightly but rather thin dishes of summer give way to more substantial fare: game, soups and stews of all kinds, pumpkin and other squashes, beans, apples, pears and, perhaps best of all, mushrooms!

Bananas, bananas and again bananas! Don’t blame me because I love these sweet creamy fruits!

Lentils creamy soup by Gourmandelle LifestyleBlog

I like crème soups very much but my boyfriend absolutely hates them, this is the reason why I rarely make them. This one is delicious. I love lentils not only for their flavor but also because lentils are high in proteins. Did you know that 100g of lentils contain more proteins than 100g of beef meat?! Well you know now!
