Welcome Fall!!! I am so glad autumn is finally here!!! It has been a wonderful summer with lots of travel, book signings, adventure and amazing food but after almost 4 months of temperatures in the 90's (deg F) I am ready for a change. Fall is also my favorite season. I love fall colors - oranges, reds, yellows and gold. I also love fall produce and all the wonderful recipes that come along with it. But most of all, I love that the holidays will soon be here. I started my Sunday with Waffle Iron French Toast. I hope you enjoy my Falling in love with Fall series!!!
