Since I live on the Gulf Coast, weather is usually not the signal for the arrival of the glorious fall season. My first clue is when the pumpkin patches start popping up around town AND they are here. I am so very excited – it just brings a smile to my face as I drive by. Fall is my absolute favorite time of year. I love the beautiful decorations, anticipation of the days and weeks ahead and enjoying the few days of cooler weather we experience in our region.
Another wonderful thing that comes to mind is all the wonderful, traditional goodies made with the fruits and nuts of the season. I am a pecan pie addict so when I discovered this recipe a few months ago, I just had to try it out! It is the best of many worlds and after one taste you will discover it is a “keeper” for your fall and holiday baking.
