Things are cooling down around here, and to me, the first week of fall is the perfect time to pull out my beloved crockpot! There’s nothing like coming home to a delicious smelling house after a long, stressful day of busying about!

If you would like to lighten it up you can substitute sorbet for ice cream. I think I’ll stick with ice cream though.

Bacon Cinnamon Rolls. They are the perfect sweet and savory combination.

I ran across the beautiful pictures at Milk & Honey and decided this would be the perfect way to use up the strawberries I had left over from making freezer jam.

Cheesecake Squares are a great recipe for when you don’t have tons of time to make a proper cheesecake, or if you only have one block of cream cheese in the fridge and can’t make it to the store to buy any more. Cheesecake purists can omit the jam from the recipe with no other changes. I enjoyed the jam in these squares, but next time around I’m going to go the purist route. Ready for the recipe?
