Pats are back: After a thumb-twiddling bye week, the Patriots face storm-struck Buffalo Sunday at 1 p.m. on CBS.
Patriots video clips on YouTube.
Buffalo news telegraphs a planned sack attack, but they don't sound exactly pumped up (Patriots getting up to speed):
Chances are Brady and the receivers will get on the same page and New England will keep winning. A victory Sunday and everyone in the AFC East will have to play catch-up. Again.
Football food: Low-fat chicken cacciatore: The Akron Beacon Journal takes a reader's favorite recipe and reduces it from 764 calories and 53 grams of fat to 265 calories and 5 gram of fat per serving.
White Chicken Chili at the Biloxi (Miss.) Sun-Herald looks light, too. To make it quick, they use canned chicken with their cheese, beans and salsa, but I'd rather pick apart a store-bought rotisserie bird.
Roast Spiced Pumpkin and Duck Linguine at Detroit News has only 16 grams of carbs, since it's made with Dream Fields pasta. If duck breasts aren't a staple at your grocery, use chicken breasts.
Pork Stew with Apples and Turnips in Cider at the Cincinnati Post sounds like fall in a crockpot.
Easy: From Small bites, big tastes at sfgate, one of several easy appetizers there.
Red Pepper Roll-ups with Herbed Goat Cheese & Basil3 whole jarred roasted red peppers, cut in half (see Note)
3 ounces herbed goat cheese
2 teaspoons heavy cream
1/4 bunch basil, cut into chiffonade
Rinse peppers and lay out to dry on paper towels.
Mix goat cheese with cream to a spreadable consistency. With the long side of the pepper facing you, spread 1/6 of the cheese on top. Sprinkle evenly with 1/6 of the basil and roll tightly away from you. Cut into two or three 1-inch pieces, depending on length of pepper, and secure with a toothpick. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
Makes 14-16 rolls
Note: Depending on the brand of roasted peppers, they may not come whole. In this case, pick out the pieces that most resemble half of a pepper.

Misc.: Make your own cheese. Or ginger ale. Or whole wheat bread. Ohio biology professor David Fankhauser makes a lot of things, but mostly cheese. Even Swiss.
