Hello, foodies! Can you believe the end of August is already here? The summer went by in the blink of an eye. Not that I’m complaining as I always look forward to my favorite season—Autumn! I’m ready for pumpkin and apple everything and all of the glorious flavors of fall. I’m also hoping to take a few day trips or weekenders outside of the region and for a change of scenery.
In the meantime, check out some food news you might have missed!
