Change of Seasons – Change of Meal Planning

Change of Season

I can always tell when it is time to begin to leave Summer behind and move on to Fall.  Suddenly mums appear into front of the fireplace; signaling the changeover from the hot, sticky weather to more comfortable sweater weather.  My wife buys some mums for outside but just happens to bring a few inside to look at… as we won’t light the fireplace for a while yet, they are the perfect way to segue and add some color at the same time.

Fall is my favorite time to cook.  While Spring signifies a new beginning each year, Fall brings back all the old favorites.  The smells of stews, sauces and long-cooking meals permeates the air.  It is during Fall that we mix old favorites and  new recipes.  Time seems to move just a little slower, maybe the kids appear out of nowhere to see what’s for dinner.  I highly recommend you take advantage of the change of seasons to change your eating habits… more importantly your meal planning habits.  Why not use this period to establish a family night at home policy.  Start with one night a week and you will see that soon it will become more than a single night to gather with your family.  Who knows, you may find the cooking slow and easy and the family payback huge.
