Just a short month ago, the pandemic was around-the-clock news and today it remains the same. COVID-19 has stopped the presses, literally.

My favorite months are just around the corner ready to make their entrance with cooler temperatures and a whirlwind of cookbook releases. The fall and winter months here in the US are my favorite.
