Autumn is my favorite time of year for cooking. Having the windows open with a fresh breeze and the aroma of a delicious meal makes home feel like home.

There are many great things to cook and bake during fall. It is a great time of year for crockpot meals and hotdishes. Leftovers from both make great lunches for the next day as well. Be sure to get your copy of Lefse Mom’s recipe and meal planning books for some of the best hotdishes (casseroles for non-Minnesotans) and slow cooker meal ideas!
