Chronicles of a Frugal Gardener

It is officially fall. Unofficially this is my favorite time of year. It flip flops with spring. I LOVE the changing colors fall brings, the warm scents from the kitchen, the smell of burning leaves. I love fall activities like carving pumpkins, picking apples, Octobember fests, and getting the kids all dressed up for Halloween. Once winter hits, which could be anytime in the month of October, my love for fall is gone. Then spring is my favorite season.

But in the spirit of fall and the good comfort food cooking it brings, I am passing on to you an email that my mother-in-law sent me last night. The people at 50plusfriends.com are going to love me for this as all of the links will go directly to their site. Regardless, the recipes seem easy peasy and may inspire you to break out the crock pot to make some of the recipes below.

I personally haven't tried any yet but I am bound to over the upcoming months. Enjoy!
