The days are getting shorter, the temperatures cooler, and the leaves are changing color. Autumn is one of my favorite seasons. Since the weather has cooled off, my family looks forward to warm, hearty meals. Like so many busy moms, I prefer simple meals that can often be prepared in just one pot. We offer 3 recipes to help you satisfy your family, while simplifying your workload.
