Good eats: Fall favorites

Summer is coming to an end. Fall is quickly approaching. Fall is, by far, my favorite season.  It seems to signify beginnings to me, much more than a new year does.  The kids are going back to school.  I’m going  back to school. The weather is much more bearable, and it’s so much more comfortable to sleep at night.

It’s no longer necessary to eat the lightest thing possible because you’re too hot.  I can go back to my comfort foods!  My favorites are:

Baked Macaroni and Cheese: I make a slammin’ mac & cheese, if I do say so myself. It’s a favorite of all the Day dudes.  I enjoy making it for them. However, once this oppressively hot summer it, they were out. of. luck.  I’ll be glad when I can make it again.

Broccoli Casserole: Mix chopped broccoli, Miracle Whip, cheddar cheese, onions, lots of butter, and Ritz crackers on top….HEAVEN.  My aunt used to make this for holidays. One holiday, she wasn’t going to be able to make it. Rather than spend a Christmas with no Broccoli Casserole, I learned to make it myself.  Now every time I make it, it’s  a holiday!

Sweet Potato Pie: I LOVE Sweet Potato Pie! It may look like pumpkin pie to you, but do not be deceived: It does not taste like pumpkin pie. It’s a zillion times better.  I usually just buy it from Wal-Mart of Sam’s Club because I’m lazy. I have, however, made one from scratch ONCE.  Man…me knowing how to make this pie is dangerous!  Dangerous because, if I wanted, I could make it all year around.  However, I already said, I’m lazy, so I settle for buying it between Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Now see…I’ve gone and made myself hungry.  I sweat the weatherman said the next 10 days would be cooler.  I think one (maybe two!) of these recipes may bless my family’s taste buds soon!
