Yeah I'm free (free fallin')

I know many friends that will gasp in horror when I admit that I am never sad to see summer weather sail away and make room for the crisp, free loveliness of Fall.  There is something so cozy and comforting in putting on a pair of jeans and a sweater to go out or sporting a sweater dress with tights and a pair of boots.  My fringe bangs have made an appearance again after hiding from the humidity all summer.  I love the autumn colors, the styles and especially the food!!

I've been trying out some great Fall/Winter meals on the weekends and have had some successes so far.    My proudest meal has probably been Chicken Pot Pie from scratch (even the crust!).  There were a few select curse words coming from the kitchen area during the crust-making component, but it turned out great!

I am also a total tea convert now.  I rarely find myself with a cup of coffee in my hand anymore.  My cupboard has been stocked with so many yummy seasonal teas from DAVIDsTea.  They posted a delicious Pumpkin Chai latte recipe that you can make stove-top at home.   I'm hooked on Pumpkin Chai with a dash of milk and brown sugar.  YUM.  I have also picked up Earl's Garden which is Earl Grey with berries and Mulberry Magic (called Mulberry Monster for Halloween) with mulberry leaves and macadamia nuts.  Double yum!

I know I've been a total blog slacker lately but I will be sure to make more updates with recipes and other feel-good things.

Please leave me any recommendations or favorites you have!!
