Fall is officially here!
It's here - it's here, Fall is officially here!
I'm sure some of you are experiencing the changing of the leaves, the slight chill in the air, the need for a warm cup of coffee or the sweet smell of baking cookies. Here in California though, Fall teases us every morning with a cool breeze but it burns off in the heat of our 90 degree afternoons so we're not bundling up with our scarves just yet!
The changing of the seasons in central California is a sudden thing though, so we're prepping our favorite recipes, dusting off our baking pans and stocking up on all the fresh nuts and dried fruits delivering to our warehouse daily. That morning when we go from having our air conditioners on to having frost on the front lawn I want to be ready to get my bake on.
In preparation of the upcoming holidays we've been having a little recipe bake off here at Root Farms and we'd like to include our fantastic customers. Do you have a recipe for a cookie or a cake or a nut encrusted fish or chicken that you'd like to share with us? We'd love to hear about it, and we'd LOVE to see pictures! Feel free to post them on our Facebook page.
Here's a little recipe to get you started, I made this last night for our company luncheon today and got compliments from everyone who had one and no left overs to take home for my belly (thank goodness!). They're not your usual cookie and even when you tell people that they're "orange slice cookies" they don't understand what you mean until that first sweet, surprising bite. YUM! Thanks for the recipe Grandma!
