Hello from Washington, D.C., friends! I’m here visiting friends before I make my way up to New York for a wedding. Let me tell ya, it’s good to be back in the East Coast! I was hoping to be able to catch some fall foliage in D.C. this time, but alas, it was not meant to be. I’m hoping that I’ll be able to catch a bit of foliage when I head to New York. I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted one of these produce guides, but I’m hoping to get right back on track. Fall is probably my favorite time of the year to cook. One look at this produce list and you can probably see why. I’ve rounded up some of my favorite recipes from the blog and elsewhere to give you some inspiration on how to cook with these ingredients. Hope you enjoy!
