I know the blogosphere has been buzzin’ over fall and all of the goodness this cool season has to offer, but I can’t help but bask in all of its glory. I purchased my first “fall-ish” candle yesterday, made myself an espresso, and couldn’t help but fall into the cozy nostalgia that autumn represents. There are so many details of this lovely season that encompass my affection for fall and the change in temperature, but here are three things that make me super excited for autumn in Chicago…

The Food. 

My favorite chili recipe, spicy pumpkin seeds, a yummy latte, cornbread, and caramel apples.
