Make your family one heck of a seasonal dinner with this Fall pasta dish: Butternut Squash and Swiss Chard Manicotti with Parmesan Cream Sauce + Fried Sage!

I wake up and it's dark.  I get home from work and it's almost dark.

I wake up and need a sweater.  Going home from work, I get in my car and it's a thousand degrees in there.

Local corn at the market is dwindling.  Tomatoes are back to looking sad and overpriced.

Hello, fall.  Grrrrrr.

But wait a minute.  Fall is actually a pretty great time of year...

Apples are everything.  Especially when it's in pie (and then leftover apple pie cinnamon buns).  Or apple crisp ice cream.  Oooo, and apple cider.  There's the BEST apple cider mill relatively close to my house.  They also conveniently sell chocolate chip cookies.

I could say pumpkin is everyting as well.  But I'm not a big pumpkin fan.  Judge me quietly.

The color of the leaves are absolutely amazing.  And the fact I don't have to rake up said leaves (thanks to my awesome landscapers!) are even better.

I love Halloween.  Like, a little too much.  I ate lunch with someone at work the other day that said Halloween is just for kids and adults shouldn't celebrate it.  She now eats lunch by herself.

And finally... squash.  I actually LOVE squash.  I go all Bubba Gump on squash.  Like with this Butternut Squash and Swiss Chard Manicotti with Parmesan Cream Sauce and Fried Sage.  It's a mouthful to say, but even a bigger (and better) mouthful to eat.
