It's A Connecticut Thing: Giada De Laurentiis' Focaccia di Recco (Cheesy Italian Bread)

If you are a fan of New Haven-Style ''Apizza'' then you are going to love this recipe! We all know Connecticut is known for its pizza and this recipe for Focaccia is an easy version of a homestyle New Haven Pizza. This is one of my favorite recipes from Chef Giada De Laurentiis and it's called Focaccia di Recco! It truly reminds me of my family in Italy. This recipe is probably very different from what you know as traditional Italian Focaccia bread. ''In Ancient Rome, panis focacius was a flat bread baked on the hearth. The word is derived from the Latin focus 'hearth, a place for baking'. The first attestation of the word focaccia dates back to the 14th century. Focaccia is sometimes considered to be a variant of pizza in publications outside Italy, although focaccia is left to rise after being flattened, while pizza is baked immediately,'' according to Wikipedia.

TV Host Amy Hanten's No Bake Gingersnap Pumpkin Mousse With Pecans

If you grew up in Connecticut, then you know that the ''Nutmeg State's'' favorite pie is Pumpkin Pie. According to the Connecticut state library, ''it got the name because, in the state’s early days, Southern customers would buy nutmegs without knowing they had to grate them and would say the Connecticut Yankees sold them wooden nutmegs. Another theory is that “early inhabitants had the reputation of being so ingenious and shrewd that they were able to make and sell wooden nutmegs,” which is a lot less flattering. Regardless, the nutmeg connection makes Connecticut a natural fit for pumpkin pie. According to some, it should get even more specific with maple (another classic New England ingredient), pumpkin, nutmeg, and pecan streusel. Pumpkin is Connecticut’s official state pie, and we take that love of pumpkin to a new level with the maple pumpkin with pecan streusel,” says Stephen Jarrett, manager of Michele’s Pies. It’s made with New England maple syrup, Connecticut pumpkins, nutmeg, and pecan streusel, “which captures the flavors and feelings of autumn that Connecticuters know best,” according to The Matador Network website.

Where To Get The Best Pumpkin Pies in Connecticut

It's Fall in New England folks, so that means ''Pie Season'' is officially here! So, where can you get the best, fresh homemade pumpkin pies in Connecticut? I have found three places that have been raved about over many years. If you are a Pumpkin Pie lover then you will want to keep reading. "Quality is our most precious ingredient" is the slogan of Oronoque Farms in Shelton, Connecticut. The history of the company reflects their hard work and dedication to their pies and their customers. ''In 1985, Oronoque Orchards was destroyed by a fire. Although no longer available for sale, the pies were not forgotten by the many customers who had enjoyed them and the many fond childhood memories of visiting the original bakery in Stratford. In 1993, the Winton's daughter, Susan and her family reopened in the White Hills of Shelton under the name of Oronoque Farms. In 2004, new owners have moved in to carry on the Winton family traditions of their homemade pies and baked goods. Charlene and Jenette plan to continue, along with the help of Ronnie, the baker, and their families to make the same great pies that everyone remembers from their childhood. Shelton Oronoque Farms is open daily from 10am to 6pm, closed Mondays with extended hours on holidays.''

The team helps the families navigate the rebuilding process, from dealing with insurance, contractors, financial challenges, and the emotional toll it takes.

Crockpot Cinnamon-Orange Applesauce, A Fall Favorite in The Nutmeg State

If you are from New England then you love homemade applesauce. In Connecticut, a fruity, cinnoman apple sauce made with farm fresh apples is a definite must. This Homemade Cinnamon Applesauce recipe is super easy to make in your crockpot (slow cooker). It only requires four simple ingredients you most likely alrady have in your pantry. This is a super easy snack for any time of the day. This cinnamon applesauce tastes amazing, especially when its warm, right out of the crockpot. The aromatic cinnamon-y scent that goes through your entire house while its simmering in your crockpot is delightful. I add round orange slices to mine while it's cooking in the crockpot for an even more seasonal-scented experience. Apple Sauce dates back to at least the Middle Ages. Apple butters were brought to the Americas by German immigrants such as the Moravians and Pennsylvania Dutch. They are traditionally associated with the Appalachian region of the United States and Southern Pennsylvania. Apple sauce is served as a side dish in northern Europe and North America. In the United States, packaged apple sauce is primarily branded as a children's snack, and in school cafeterias, according to Wikipedia.
