Dear ##firstname[Friend]##,

Welcome back! From the crisp days in the north to the falling leaves, what a beautiful time of year this is! But what makes the season even better is all of the fresh new produce you'll find in grocery stores and farmers markets.

To help you use it up, we have some hearty autumn favorites as well as delicious apple and squash recipes. When the days get cool, you'll really appreciate our warm and welcoming slow cooker dishes and tips.

And our homemade bagel recipes let you enjoy autumn flavors fresh from the oven. In addition, we have some fun hints for hiking so that you can kick through the leaves with the whole family. Enjoy and have a great month!

Happy cooking!
Mary
