May the respite of cool weather reach us this month! October brings the first crisp, cool nights to Phoenix – a taste of the next glorious six months. In celebration of the ability to return outside for meals on the patio, a collection of fall-inspired recipes:

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • salt
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
