My favorite time of year is fast approaching.

Autumn! (Okay, tied with winter)

With this time of year, the sights, sounds and smells all around us change. 

One of the biggest changes that come with fall is the food. Suddenly pumpkins are in everything.

That's just the snack foods, and the pictures don't cover half of them!

Our choice in meals change along with the cooler temperatures as well.

My favorite winter comfort food was 

Chipped (Dried) Beef Gravy on Toast. 

I requested it every year for my birthday. Mom made the very best, and Daddy the second best!

I say it "was" my favorite because I haven't had it home made since my parents passed over 16 years ago.  I may have to break down and by the pre-packaged, which surprisingly is quite good. 

What about you?

Do you have a favorite fall food? Drink?

Are you excited for autumn to arrive?
