Hello ooseims,

First off, if you've been in the path of either of those nasty hurricanes the past few weeks, I hope you and yours are doing ok. Having lived through a few of them myself, I know they are not to be messed with and can be terrifying. My heart goes out to all who have been affected.

We're into all things pumpkin, apple and HOCKEY!!! Yes, Miss Lynne LOVES her Boston Bruins and McIntosh apples, but pumpkin, not so much. You definitely won't see me begging for a slice of pumpkin pie this Thanksgiving. It will be, and always is my Aunt's Apple Cream Pie that makes me swoon!

I've been finalizing this year's 12 Days of Cookies which will start on Black Friday, so be sure to watch for those recipes if you love baking during the holidays.
We'll also have something special in our next newsletter for you all, too!
Hugs,

Tip of the Week:

Freeze your meals!
A few months ago I made my Lasagna recipe for some neighbors and I put the 9 X13 serving into two separate 8 X 8-inch aluminum pans, so that they could enjoy one that night and then froze the second one so that they'd have it when they moved. I recently did the same thing for us since it's only Kurt and me in the house and we won't eat a whole pan of it within a couple of days.
Making a double batch of a meal and then freezing half of it makes for super convenient meals later on. Plus, you don't have to worry about going out to eat and spending money when you already have food in the house.
The only catch, make sure you thaw whatever it is in the fridge the night before you plan to eat it or you'll just have to allow for additional cooking time.

I'd love to hear any tips you have, and what has helped you be more efficient and organized in the kitchen! If you would be interested in sharing them with all of us, and if I choose to share them in our newsletter, I'll give you a first-name shoutout! ❤️
