FALLING

Can you think of a more delicious way to start a

 crisp Autumn morning than with homemade 

Cinnamon Apple Blintzes? 

It's almost time to pull on a sweater and head outdoors on a leaf-collecting expedition. Press the most beautiful leaves between the pages of a book and in a few days, when they have flattened and dried just a bit, slip them between the panes of glass-backed frames. Sheets of paper, carefully torn on the edges can make a simple mat!

Plan a trip to the apple orchard for a Fall outing....swirling leaves and the sweet smell of apples make it the ideal picnic spot. How about making a Baked Apple and Carrot Casserole for a family dinner? 

I think this must be the REAL Honey Boo-Boo!

An Autumn picnic means the tablecloth may flutter in the breeze. Keep it in place by tying jute around an apple stem, then lay it across the table, so that the tied apple dangles off the table a bit. Secure a second apple at the other end.....easy peasy!
