Cooking time:  35 minutes for menu      Cooking schedule: see below for instructions

       This time of year I use a lot of mushrooms; and the sage is at it's peak.  I normally get boneless chops.

Grilled Pork Chops with Sage 

Total time: 30 minutes
   The woodsy flavor of sage is a classic pairing with pork.   Use fresh if you can.

Pasta with Wild Mushroom Sauce

Total time: 25 minutes
   A simple sauce, but using fresh, autumnal wild mushrooms elevates this to something for the most discriminating gourmet.  It's also good with regular button or cremini mushrooms.

Sautéed Chard with Feta and Olives

Total time: 20 minutes
   Chard, or Swiss Chard, is a slightly bitter green, reminiscent of spinach.  Mine is 'Rainbow Chard', thus all the colors.  We added feta and Greek olives for a Mediterranean flavor.
