For the Love of Cooking {Fall Favorites}

Woohoo!!! I've been looking forward to this day

for a few weeks now! It's hibernation season (as I call it)! Time to

break out those big chunky sweaters, your super stylish boots,

and oh yea one of my favorite accessories, scarves!

My arms are reached out wide welcoming the cozy

season that is FALL!

I am by no means a chief, but I do love to cook!

On a busy week, for the simplest yet tastiest dishes I turn

to my trusty ole crockpot! It is always a guaranteed home run

in the Gaither house.

Here are few of my faves!

I so can't wait to try this one. Remember, I am almost 100% vegetarian until
