When Fall Comes Home

As fall officially hits the calendar next week, I’ve added some fall touches to my home in the same way that the autumn season approaches…slowly. While I dislike the shorter days, there is so much to love about this season. Let me show you what I’m enjoying about fall in my home.

I decided you need this recipe, too! It took me 2 hours from start to sitting at the table to enjoy. That might sound like lots of work, but part of that time is when the dough is resting. This recipe (from Cooking Light) is delicious and worth the effort!!
