Fun Monday - Cold Weather Eats

Sayre Smiles is hosting Fun Monday today.  She says:


This weekend's cooler weather put me in a Fall state-of-mind and for the first time since last March, I wanted soup for dinner.  I heated up some chicken noodle soup which the Boy and I shared for dinner.  The Man had leftover pizza.  That craving got me to thinking - what do people crave when the weather gets cooler?  Sign up in comments, and I'll add your link to this post.

My craving isn't always what to eat, it's what to cook - although of course I do plenty of eating of these things once they're made.  When the weather turns cooler and I start to think of the upcoming holiday season, I get this irresistible urge to bake.  Serious baking too.  I want to make decorated and fancy schmancy cookies.  I want to make every flavor of quick bread I have a recipe for, chocolate, pumpkin, cranberry, etc...  And most of all, I want to roll pie crust.  I have been known to make as many pies as there are people on Thanksgiving.
