Autumn Leaves

I love to hang wreaths on the front door--especially autumn wreaths!

It's supposed to snow in Utah tomorrow, so I'm getting my last bit of autumn now. Though truthfully, I love snow and am excited for winter!

So for a last bit of autumn, check out "Autumn Leaves" performed by Vince Guaraldi.

Basic Cornmeal Biscuits

If you love cornmeal, you'll love these hearty biscuits!  That flavor is livened up with just a little touch of honey.

I love to bake all year long, but there's nothing quite as comforting as freshly baked goods on an autumn day.  So here's "Autumn Leaves" sung by Frank Sinatra.

BASIC CORNMEAL BISCUIT

½ cup + 2 tablespoons cornmeal

2. Combine flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl.
