October is here and that means cooler weather, warm blankets and comfort food! Now that my family and I are on the east coast, we are excited to see some great fall foliage here in Pennsylvania. We’ve gone apple picking and got our share of apple cider donuts and now I have a day trip to the Great Allegheny Passage planned so we can see some fall foliage. I can’t wait!
Fall is my favorite season and it might be because of the food. Soups, chili, pasta bakes and fall baking. It’s the best!
