September is a favorite month for a lot of people,
and it is certainly for me too…
Temps are moderate,
pumpkins and mums begin to fill the marketplace,
leaves are starting to turn and fall,
and it’s the beginning of football season!
The recipes on my bucket list this month are a nice transition
from the hot summer months to cooler Fall temps
We’re starting to crave a little cozy comfort food,
and we’re looking for easy dinners for busy weeknights,
and many of these recipes are perfect for game day!
The flavor/theme the of the month is Grilled Cheese 😋
You can see photos of the recipes below
