Fall Preview!

I know it's still August but I can't wait for Fall. I wanted to post what will be comming up on Stef's Place. A friend of mine suggested that I start with some comfort food to invite the upcomming Fall season ( Thanks Lisa). I think that's a great idea so I'm doing it. I will be posting recipes that I have tried only. We will start out September with an abundance of Apple recipes to invite the warm cozy feeling of fall with the sweet gift of apples. Apples can be great to cook with, you don't always have to bake them. You can cook them with meat dishes or stuff them full of goodness. As we get closer to October I will share my Dinner in a Pumpkin recipe and Halloween favorites to share with those little monsters.

Fall is very special to me . It is my favorite time of year. I spend it sitting in my kitchen looking out my bay windows drinking tea, looking at my Victorian Trading Co. catalog, decorating the house in warm Fall colors, visiting pumpkin patches, and cooking in my kitchen of course while I have classical music playing or my mix of Glenn Miller and Artie Shaw. I think I whatch Meet me in St. Louie about 100 times during this season. My son's birthday is a few days before Halloween so I reallty get into the holiday festivities.
I will be incorperating some mexican food at Stef's place in the near future. I will share some of my families traditional dishes passed down from my Great Grandmother. My Grandmother taught me how to cook authentic mexican food. She was from Mexico and started cooking when she was 8 years old to help bring money into her home. I will also tell you about Hatch Green Chilies. Growing up in New Mexico you live off of green chile. I have some great dishes to share so I hope your ready to try them! I'm counting the days to my favorite season.
