Fast and Easy Fall Picnic

Don't put your picnic basket away just yet! Fall is the perfect time for an outdoor meal packed with in-season, local foods. How about some spicy and salty cold chicken legs, a sweet potato salad dressed with a maple vinaigrette, icy cold apple cider, and a selection of fall fruits such as pears, apples, Asian pears, and grapes or a slice of pumpkin pie for dessert? Too cold out? Put a blanket on the family room floor, light a cozy fire, and enjoy the meal indoors.

You'll find the recipes for the chicken legs, sweet potato salad, and pumpkin pie in the Fall recipe section of this site.
