I recently had too much pesto on my hands so I tried experimenting with a new stuffed chicken recipe. I always thought rolled or stuffed chicken was difficult to make but this one is very simple. In fact, I made this last night and to prep and cook took 35 minutes.

You can serve it over brown rice or, my favorite, farro with carrots. Farro is a barley-like, ancient Italian grain. I usually purchase it from HomeGoods (or one of their sister stores). The one in the picture below is from Pereg Natural Foods and is their mushroom and rosemary blend.

For centuries, people referred to the third season of the year as “harvest”. However, that term became less favorable as more and more people began to relocate to cities in the 1600s. It was replaced with the phrase “fall of the leaf”, which was eventually shortened to just “fall”.

If you’re like most people in the Northern Hemisphere, you’re currently experiencing the turning leaf colors and piles of fallen leaves in your yard that come with the colder weather.

While fall foliage looks spectacular, it also sparks the dreaded question; what do we do with all of these leaves?
