Fall is definitely in the air here in central Indiana! The weather has cooled off 30 degrees this week, the corn it turning brown and it’s getting dark outside by 8:00!!
So, I thought I would celebrate the beginning of the fall season with a couple of great recipes from the Gooseberry Patch Homemade Harvest cookbook. After we post all 10 recipes we will be giving away a copy of this cookbook!!

Caramel Corn is a family favorite of ours. It started one Christmas and has continued as a year round treat.
