It's that time of year...

Well, at least around here it is.

Apples apples and more apples.

Apple dumplings (thank you Aunt Carla).

Apple cake.

Maple-Mustard Pork Tenderloin with Caramelized Apples (tonight's dinner).

Apple Cider.

Apples and Cheese.

Apples and Cheese and Wine.

Mixed greens with apples, dried cranberries and NY Cheddar (today's lunch).

Red apples, green apples (my favorite) and yellow apples.

One of the things I love about living in the North is having seasons.

Seasons mean change.

Change in weather, change in clothing and change in food.

I love craving corn on the cob in July and apples in October.

I love packing away the shorts and bringing the sweaters down from the attic.

(Just as much as I love packing away the sweaters in the Spring!)

Each season for me is also the perfect time to "re-group".

Each season is like a fresh start and I love that!

I think that is why I love January so much ~

New year, new calendars and new goals.

So for those of you down South...

well, enjoy the sun...we will be jealous in February.

But for now...would you like us to send you some apples?
