Fall is here..... or at least that's what they tell me! Here in Florida, we really don't experience Fall the way most of the Country does. No cool breeze, no beautiful waves of multicolored leaves, no relief from the dreaded mosquito infestation!!! But in the hopes of tricking my senses, I refuse to give up!
Every morning I place a pot on my stove filled with cinnamon, cloves, ginger, and occasionally a bit of orange peel, and of course..... don't forget the water! Simmering this all day gives the whole house that unmistakable Autumn scent.
Another great way to get in the Fall spirit is to change up your meals. One of my families favorite Fall time meal is a great big pot of chilli with all the fixins (shredded cheese, diced onions and tomatoes, sour cream, and lots of corn bread). I also tend to bake a lot of cookies, cakes, and pies in the Autumn and Winter months, which my kids love!
As well as doing all these things I also (slowly) begin decorating for Fall and Halloween, which is tons of fun to do, especially with the kids.
In my next few blogs I will be posting some great Fall recipes and decorating ideas along with some photos of each project. I am really looking forward to starting this Fall season with you.... even if it is 100 degrees outside! Maybe some of you who live up North can send some of that cool weather this way :) .
If I don't melt first...... I will be back later today with some great Fall tips and recipes. Let me just get this mint and mocha coffee down first.
