I’m not sure what it is about the leaves turning color and falling and the cool breezes, but every Autmn I get the urge to cook!
Yesterday I made deviled eggs and grape tomato appetizers and marinated shishkebobs to celebrate my son’s birthday and of course, I made a yellow cake with homemade chocolate buttercream icing!
Today I fixed a huge pot of fresh kale and then I cooked a whole head of fresh cauliflour and seasoned it and mashed it like mashed potatos. It was quite tasty I must say!
After that I decided to make a meal for tomorrow as well so I made a homemade meatloaf from scratch with tomato gravy and roasted potatos.
I guess it harkens back to the old pioneer days when the women cooked and stored food for the coming winter or something like that, but I always get the urge to start cooking and baking when the air turns cool.There is a feeling of satisfaction in creating a fresh healthy meal for your family. It can be very rewarding.
Right now though I am feeling quite tired after all today’s activities. Anyone else out there who gets the itch to cook in Autumn???
I’m thinking maybe a homemade Jewish apple cake this week – it does sound good doesn’t it?
