    Autumn begins tomorrow! The cooler weather also means autumn gatherings and bonfires. Warm breakfast, and hot beverages to keep warm.

    I'm sure that we all know someone gushing over their pumpkin spice latte. I have a molten pumpkin cake recipe coming out next week. Be sure to follow for that easy to make recipe!

    Pears are plentiful and in season. It's getting cooler at night, and the days are growing shorter. If you have the garden and fruit, you should already be preparing for winter with your harvest.

    We are a household filled with Raynaud's Disease, an autoimmune condition that makes the fingers and toes feel numb and cold in response to cold temperatures or stress.


    AUTUMN PEAR TOAST

    1............................loaf of your favorite bread
    1...........................crumbled blue cheese
    1/8 cup.................almonds or nut of choice
    drizzle..................honey


    • Slice pears and cover over bread.
    • Crumble blue cheese and crushed almonds over top.
    • Bake at 350 for 10-13 minutes.


    Mimosa's are great for breakfast, or this autumn brinner gathering. They're also extremely simple to make.

    The weekends on the east coast have been filled with rain this summer. The family has started to wonder if it will carry over into the winter and result in a lot of snow, but I hope not.

    We've been walking a lot around Peace Valley Park. The lake is a six-mile trail and with the finished pathways, you can even bike the whole lake if you can't afford the time to walk the six miles.

    A park is a great place to picnic and on one of the rainy afternoon's we managed to find some sun and enjoy a quick, delicious picnic in the park.

    I picked the basil and tomatoes from my garden and gathered the peaches and onion from my favorite organic farms. This recipe is flavorful and went with the sandwich beautifully.

    PEACH TOMATO BASIL SALAD:

    2.......................heirloom tomatoes
    2.......................fresh ripe peaches
    1/4....................red onion
    1/4 cup.............fresh basil
    2 tbls................olive oil
    1 tbls................balsamic vinegar
    sprinkle............pepper
    crumble............honey goat cheese
    • Thinly slice tomatoes, peaches, red onion
    • Toss together with basil, olive oil, and vinegar
    • Crumble and toss honey goat cheese into salad.
    • Serve on a plate with the open faced sandwich and your favorite drink!

    SPICY CHICKEN AVOCADO SANDWICH:

    1 package......................organic chicken (boneless chicken tenders is the easiest)
    1....................................avocado
    1/4 cup..........................mayonnaise
    1 tsp..............................hot sauce (or to taste)
    • Cook the chicken and shred or slice for sandwiches.
    • Mash and combine: mayonnaise, hot sauce, and 1/4 avocado into a creamy sauce.
    • Cover one side of sandwich with sauce.
    • Place chicken and sliced avocado on another half.
    • Serve open-faced and allow your guests to fold and slice how they prefer.
    This recipe is great served cold, consider making the chicken the night before. Great for quick dinners or snacks when you're on the run. Point friendly for weight watchers too!

    How was your Labor Day Holiday weekend? Every summer we try to gather family together for a barbecue. As the family grows, so has the fun and the recipes that we share. There's even a zip line.

    The gathering usually takes place at my brother, Pat's home. The property is large and can fit all of us easily. My mother made a delicious Peach Cobbler that everyone loves and I've taken on the tradition as my own.

    It's a fantastic recipe and if you do canning, you can prepare your autumn and winter months for this recipe accordingly.
