I bought the most lovely pears a few days ago with the intentions to make delicious things with them and then share with you. But the good news and bad news of that is that it was quickly discovered that there were pears in the house and they were consumed before I could get to them.

We love pears around here, they are some of my kids favorite fruits - and that means they get eaten.

One of my favorite lunches in the world is grilled cheese with pear on it. The softer crunch lends it self beautifully to sandwiches and wraps. They add a sweetness to salads and you can use almost anywhere you would an apple - in chicken salad, pasta and desserts.

Here are Food $ense one of our September Spotlight's is the pear and so you eventually are going to see some delicious things made with them.
