Fall is here and and so are those comforting rustic dishes for the seasons coming.

I think as a northerner those rustic heart warming dishes always taste better on a cool day. Perhaps after a day of raking the leaves and feeling that little nip in the air.

That's when I always loved a family meal; when we had spent the day together outside.

weather it was raking leaves and cleaning up the yard or even better apple picking. After a day of work & play, it was always so special to have family time together.
