Fall is my favorite season. The weather is wonderful and the changing leaves make everything look beautiful. Fall is also a time of year filled with delicious food. One of my favorite recipes is made with nuts and is a family recipe my mother in law passed down to me. I've decided to prepare it for the holidays.
