Savoring the Season
September is my favorite month of the year. I love the mild temperatures, the vibrant colors of the season change and how life settles back into a normal schedule. When the warm summer weather cools into the briskness of fall, I pick apples from the tree and use them in my baking. On page 35, you’ll find two delicious apple recipes submitted by Womeninc subscribers.
Fresh, locally grown ingredients are important to chef Emily Streeter of Richard’s Restaurant & Pub in St. Peter, Minnesota. Known for making complex dishes out of simple ingredients, Emily shares a savory duck breast recipe with us on page 30. Perfect for a fall meal, sweet potato hash and baby spinach complement the duck.
Over the summer, Sara Gaalswyk interned with Womeninc. She was a valuable addition to our team during the busy months and I appreciate all of her hard work. With Sara returning to St. Thomas for her junior year of college, it felt natural to think “Back to School.” Starting on page 12, get some great ideas on how to throw a fun, back to school bash for the kids in your life!
Jordan accompanied me to the three local attractions featured in the Going Places section. We climbed the rocks at the beautiful Falls Park, took a chilly yet interesting tour of the Niagara Cave and sampled ice cream in LeMars, Iowa. Check out these great day trip destinations starting on page 20.
With the high fuel costs, I am grateful we don’t have to travel far from home to see and do some great things. It may be time to pack away the summer toys, but this issue is full of fun ideas to keep you entertained all fall. Whether you’re sending your children back to school for another year or planning a day trip, I hope you savor all this season has to offer!
