I love fall! I have to say, its probably my favourite season, cozy sweaters, cute boots and of course all the apple pie and pumpkin spice flavours that come out.  The weather may be colder this time of year, which also makes it easier to turn to comfort foods. Hearty soups, warm beverages and bigger meals tend to be the theme during the fall season. In fact, its a really nice way to bring friends and family together for dinners, parties and gatherings that are surrounded by good food. As with fall, I also love breakfast.
