Fall

We had some delicious fall recipes shared at our last "CHICKS" gathering. It is funny how the change of seasons brings out a craving for certain foods. The ladies did not disappoint. The food was amazing as usual.

Both Vicki (above) and Connie (below), shared a corn recipe. They were both so delicious and different.

Add: cherry tomatoes, red, yellow, orange peppers, red onion, avocados, fresh basil, chopped.

Refrigerate for 2 hours. Add more salt, vinegar and oil if needed to make it moist.

This is me (Paula)....I shared a recipe from Our Best Bites for :

Apple Cider Floats

1-2 scoops vanilla ice cream

ground cinnamon and nutmeg

1-2 Tbs caramel sauce

Pour apple cider and ginger ale into a frosted mug. Add ice cream. Sprinkle with cinnamon and nutmeg. Drizzle with warm caramel sauce. Serve immediately.

Suzi made a warm queso dip. That is good any time of the year in my book.

I don't have the recipe for the cookies or the queso....sorry.
