Hello friends - Happy Fall! I hope you are doing well!

It's been waaaay too long since I last sent out a newsletter. But life has been extra crazZzZy. I thought that the first day of fall would be a good time to pop back in, to catch up on life and share some of my family's favorite fall recipes.

First, a little bit about the craziness. On top of all the major news stories of 2020, our oldest daughter graduated in May and we just moved her to the University of Minnesota last week. We are so happy and excited for her, but it is truly bittersweet. The other thing that has occupied our family's time IN A HUGE WAY is that we started a new adventure. We purchased a health & wellness franchise and are now the owners of a StretchLab studio in Woodbury, MN. There are currently about 80 of these studios open across the US, and we are so excited to offer the awesome benefits of assisted stretching to our local community! Curious? You can read more about what StretchLab offers here. And if you like, follow along on Instagram and Facebook!

Maybe you've also noticed that the blog looks a little different? It had been nearly 7 years since its last overhaul, so it was time! Lindsay at Purr Design did an awesome job!

Now sit back and enjoy these recipes that are perfect for fall.

Thank you so much for following along - and for cooking and baking with me.

Take care!
Brenda
