The Perfect Fall Weekend

We were lucky enough to enjoy a visit from two of our favorite people several weeks ago: my brother and his wonderful, sweet girlfriend. It's hard to believe that most of fall has passed by already. Looking back, this weekend will be one that I'll always treasure. I'm looking forward to all the future weekends we'll spend together as new family!

My brother has been reading voraciously about food recently. And not only reading, cooking all sorts of delicious things. So what better time to cook together? We started off with a brisk hike at Sleeping Giant, where the leaves were just starting to turn ever so slightly.

After we worked up an appetite, we produced this beauty:

Maple Glazed Pork Roast with Rosemary and Apples
See recipe here 

Arugula Salad with Shaved Parmesan and Red Onion
(Gorgeous wood servingware courtesy of my fabulous co-residents!)

Roasted Butternut Squash (recycled wedding prop!), Apples, and Shallot with Thyme

Just a few short weeks later, we were treated to fall foliage in full swing:

Just wanted to share some of the beauty of this season! It's hard to believe the year is drawing to a close again so quickly. Thanks for reading! What are your favorite things about Fall?
