It’s official – today is the first day of fall. Of all the seasons, I think I love Autumn best. Spring is wonderful with all it’s colors. Summer is too hot, winter too cold. Autumn is just right. Colorful, warm during the day, crisp at night. It just makes me feel all cozy inside.

As you can imagine, I get an in-box full of recipe links every day. One of the things that I’ve noticed is that site after site has a been actively promoting throw back recipes.

On September 13, 335, the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, in what is now the Christian Quarters of the Old City of Jerusalem, was dedicated. The following day, the cross that Empress Helena had discovered 15 years earlier on that day, was venerated in a solemn ceremony.

Today is National Kids in the Kitchen Day. In my opinion, spending time with our children in the kitchen is one of the most important things we can do. It’s a way of creating memories, passing along a little family history and teaching life skills.
