All of these seasonal recipes are making me so excited for fall! I always forget to look for seasonal recipes when the time comes, so I'm glad I came across this collection.

I love the beginning of fall. The leaves start to turn color and the garden starts to shut down. Now you can find those runaway zukes. Time to start making oven meals again and make the house smell delicious.

My favorite thing about fall is the changing color of the leaves and of course its the harvest time, i am so looking forward to harvest my homegrown concord grapes to make it into grape jam, jelly and i want to make wine but I do not have the stuff to make it, also my birthtday is the one that started the BER months so we always have a birthdday gathering with my family and friends and enjoy the garden and the fresh harvest..

Using my own garden produce to make wholesome and delicious recipes for the family.And canning the for winter.

I love to sit on the front porch with a cool breeze listen to the flow of the creek around our house.
