I am a summer girl. I live for summer, I wait for summer and I love summer. I am not ready for summer to leave.
As fall begins to set in (and early I might add) I tend to dig my heals into the ground. I like having my kids around, I like the ease of summer and I like summer food, which mostly means lots of grilling.
But alas, I think Fall is knocking on my door and I can give in willingly or keep fighting it. So I start to think of all the things I do love about fall. And wouldn’t you know, it’s the food.
I love butternut squash. I love it as a soup, a pasta sauce, and I will even eat it plain. I will make my way down to the the nearest restaurant that sells butternut squash enchiladas and I will feast.
I get to start thinking about salads and sandwiches with pears in them. I also get to switch my thinking to comfort food. My favorite is Beef in a Red Wine Sauce. I am also excited about Pasta with a smoke pork ragu.
Summer I wish you weren’t leaving so soon. But I will grab my favorite blanket, curl up with my newest Everyday Food and I will dream of the food I will make as I continue to eat in season.
