Fall!

We are having our first taste of fall! The weather over the past few days has been such a nice break from the summer heat. We have been enjoying it by taking walks around the lake. This morning the temperature in my car read 58 degrees!

And, this weekend I made my first "fall" dish, southwestern chicken chili. No photos to post but it was really tasty! Somewhat healthy for chili... chicken, chicken broth, dark and light red beans, onions/garlic and spices (chili, cumin, fennel seeds) cooked until thick served with cornbread and green salad. Next time I will definately add some sort of pepper for heat. Stay tuned over the coming weeks/months for stories of other cool-weather dishes including gumbo (a favorite) and soups (a challenge I hope to overcome this season!).
