Harvest-Inspired Autumn Recipes

September is such a bitter-sweet month. There are warm and glorious blue sky days, yet the end of Summer is undeniably here with hints of golden hue mixed into faded summer greens. Garden flowers burst with their last glory, then Autumn arrives on cue at the equinox and the seasons shift once again.

So grab a sweater and a cup of tea. I've rustled up a collection of my autumn recipes, featuring seasonal fruits, vegetables and traditional dishes for the fall holidays. Mmm, can't you just smell the apples, cinnamon, cranberry and nutmeg?
