Fall & Apple Raisin Pie

                                                 

 Fall is officially here. 

In fact, where we live, it has been a much colder than normal.

 We woke up to frost and -2 c, or 28' f. 

The hat and mitten bins are open again. The fireplace is going and we are all craving those stick to your ribs comfort foods, that fall and winter promise.

For me that also means my favorite fall beverage, pumpkin spice latte! 

Off to the freezer for the leftover carcass of a roast chicken to make a lovely, vegetable soup and into the apple bin to make an apple raisin pie! 

No leftovers! 

Wishing you colorful, warm fall wishes!
