It’s still pretty warm here in Oklahoma but mornings are cooler. I’m definitely getting a few Autumn vibes. And that means we’ll begin to see fall produce replace summer varieties. Our vintage menu plans will start to feature seasonal fruits and vegetables such as apples, pumpkins, pears, cabbage and sweet potatoes, for instance.

Would you like me to make any of the starred recipes? If so, leave me a comment and tell me which one(s) you are interested in. As long as they don’t include mushrooms or nuts (I’m allergic to these) and I can find the ingredients I’ll give it a whirl.

Love “older” food, Dee. Somehow it was more filling, and, fulfilling.
I love the fact that there were several items in most meals. I enjoy the variety of tastes in a meal.
