Good morning, all. Our recent cold front has really gotten me into a fall kind of mood, even though we don’t really have fall in Houston.
I wrote last night about comfort food, and it got me thinking about all the things I start craving in the fall. I will admit that a lot of my cravings involve pumpkin...and, yes, pumpkin spice (go ahead sue me for being basic). Definitely sugar, too, and hot beverages, both of which go well with my pumpkin cravings. Apple cider and pumpkin spice lattes are way up there on the list of things I start lusting after. But when the weather starts cooling down, I also start craving the heavy casseroles and pasta dishes that involve carbs on top of carbs layered with fat. Sweet potato casserole, mac and cheese, spaghetti and meatballs, lasagna. And pie for dessert...pumpkin pie, apple pie, more pumpkin pie.
Do you have any fall or cool weather cravings? What do you want to chat about this morning?
All are welcome to join the fun, the silliness, the conversations. If you don’t know...just ask! Some things really do require a bit of explanation.
There will be a few surprises along the way, all good ones, we hope.
