The weather has cooled down and Fall is here. When the weather cools down I find myself making big thick pots of chili, soups & stews along with a nice loaf of fresh bread. What are some of your favorite cool weather dishes and recipes? I have a ton of apples so I have made apple everything the last week lol. Apple cobbler, apple pies, apple rolls, apple muffins, apple butter and apple sauce. I cannot tell you how much sugar I have gone through :o

My house in the summer is an oven. We haven't not gotten around to installing AC yet so for the past 2 years we have suffered the heat. At those times I stay away from my favorite type of cooking - braises and roasts. Now that it's cooling down I can finally turn on the oven again.

It has just started to cool down enough here for me to use the oven again to.

Chili, pumpkin pie, and Potatoes & Ham au-gratin:p And Boston Baked Beans & Boston Brown Bread, and a big old pot of Great Northern Beans and ham and homemade buttermilk biscuits!

definitely oven dishes - comfort foods - and those all-day-in-the-kitchen-meals!
