Favorite Fall Recipes

With fall officially upon us, we wanted to brainstorm and record a few of our favorite fall recipes.  The shift in weather and other fall indicators, such as football season and the approaching holidays, set a new tone for entertainment and style of cooking.  Still mourning the end of summer, but thinking about savory dinners, lazy Sunday breakfasts, friends gathering around football food, keeps us looking forward!

Fresh and Easy Guacamole

What has fresh ingredients, is easy to make and a is definite crowd pleaser?  This fresh and easy guacamole!  We affectionately refer to this recipe as "guacamole by feel" in our family.  Although we will provide you measurements here, we never use those when making it ourselves. Whoever is making it, usually my husband or son, adds ingredients gradually and asks for taste testers along the way.  It took some…
