Colorful leaves, mild weather, shorter days, and of course all that great fall food. The fall season is easily my favorite time of year—with the exception of what comes next—winter.
I came across this great website called Sustainable Table which allows you to select your state and month to see what you can expect to see in season in your grocery store.
Here’s some of my favorites in season here:
- Cucumbers
- Eggplant
- Fennel
- Lettuce
- Mushrooms
- Onions
- Peppers
- Plums
- Potatoes
- Raspberries
- Squash
- Strawberries
- Sweet corn
- Tomatoes
- Zucchini
What favorites are in season where you are?
Today I thought would be the perfect day to kick off my annual fall baking. This recipe is fast and easy—it is based on a mix, which I usually prefer from scratch, but I’ve had this mix sitting around and I just wanted to use it. Enjoy!

Ingredients:
- 1/2 C cold butter
- 1 pouch(1lb 15 oz) oatmeal cookie mix
- 1 egg
- 1 C finely chopped peeled apple
- 3/4 C caramel topping

- 1/2 tsp cinnamon

I'm lucky I always seem to be able to get the fruits and veg I eat all year round, although it can be more expensive out of season.
