With the cooler weather settling in... you know I am SUPER excited! Aside from the fun fall clothes I can now wear, my mind is buzzing with kitchen tasty treats I can now make! Apples and pumpkins and squashes (funny word) are all now in season. And soups and stews can finally make an appearance as they are great for warming the cool body right up! And THIS, will be my first slow cooker recipe EVER!!!!!! Get excited, because it's a real winner! Did I mention this is the first time for my slow cooker too? It was a wedding present and boy is it fancy! Can't wait to get started!
