This weekend we actually had a day when the temperature only reached the high 60s. I love weather like that! So, my freezer cooking plan had several autumn recipes for September. After spring, fall is my favorite season.

I found this recipe in my Dinner Is Ready cookbook. To read my review of that cookbook and others in the series, go here.
