Tweet Did you feel it? Summer has slipped away and Fall is creeping in to take its place. If you're looking to enjoy the last day of summer, look elsewhere!! I'm in a autumnal state of mind. I love the change of seasons not just because of the change in weather but also because it signals a change of flavors in cooking as well. Each season brings with it new flavors and it's own seasonal produce to enjoy and savor. When I think of Fall, visions of pumpkin, apple and spice dance in my head. I've been anticipating all sorts of wonderful things; pumpkin or apple or pecan pies, or maybe roasting marshmallows over a fire while wearing a sweater. Oh wait... I live in the deep South. Although the temps have dropped from the scorching mid 90's to the balmy low 80's, we're nowhere near sweater and fire weather. Oh well I guess it's time to crank down the air conditioning, turn on the coffee pot, grab a sweater and pretend! I couldn't wait any longer so I made these pumpkin apple pancakes as sort of a celebration of all the things I love about Fall. Pumpkin Apple Pancakes Ingredients: 1 cup all-purpose flour 1/4 cup packed brown sugar 1 Tbl milled flax seed 1 1/2 tsp baking powder 1/4 tsp salt 1/2 tsp cinnamon 1/8 tsp ground ginger 1/4 tsp nutmeg 1 large egg, lightly beaten 1 tbsp canola oil 1 cup buttermilk 1/2 cup pumpkin puree 1/3 cup peeled, diced apple Preparation: Whisk flour, sugar, flax, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg together in a medium bowl. Combine egg, oil, milk, apple and pumpkin in a small bowl. Stir pumpkin mixture into dry ingredients. Let stand for five minutes. While you let the batter stand make the caramelized apples. Scoop about 1/3 cup of batter on to a hot griddle or nonstick skillet sprayed with cooking spray. Turn pancakes when bubbles appear and edges are cooked, after about 2 minutes. Cook for about 1 1/2 minutes on second side. Top with caramelized apples and warm maple syrup. Caramelized Apples 1 apple, sliced thin 2 Tbl. butter 2 Tbl. brown sugar Melt butter in a skillet. Add brown sugar and apple slices. Cook stirring occasionally until apples are soft and slightly golden, about 8 minutes. (Print Recipe)

With summer creeping in and scorching sun laughing out loudly, you feel like chilling in the bath tub whole day. It’s terribly hot and the situation becomes worse when you step out of the house or if our friendly neighbourhood electricity provider decides that peak of summer will be a good time for load shedding.

Can you feel Autumn creeping in? These cold nights and cool mornings? I sure can, but we’re trying to soak up the last summer rays...

I wait for it each year. That feeling I get as summer is on its way out and fall is slowly creeping into our lives. It's not a matter of a cool breeze blowing in, or anything like that really, it's just this feeling I get, and I finally got it a couple of weeks

Summer is slowly creeping closer. This upcoming week is the last remnant of school. It always makes me feel wistful and sad. There are some wonderful kids that I'll really miss. They made the year fun for me, and they tried really hard to give their best. Today, I didn't have to write lesson plans, so I had the luxury of studio time. I am trying to move my classroom, so that I'll be in a room that has a sink. I've spent four sink-less years, hauling water in buckets daily. My sister once commented that our school sometimes seems like it could be in the third world. When I'm dragging buckets of water, to water plants and to do art, it definitely feels that way. So, I won't be able to work in the studio again, at least not for a week. Transporting the ridiculous amount of junk from one classroom to another is my focus! I've been listening to The Count of Monte Cristo while packing and commuting. I'm already on download 3 out of 6. I hope that I finish moving before the book ends. When the move is complete, watch out...

I wish I didn’t feel this way, but the thought has been creeping back into my head: I want a…
