Now that the days are getting shorter, it’s time to cozy up at home for some movie and/or game nights with pizza. It’s such a versatile food, and hey, it makes everyone smile.

I really look forward to apple season. I was raised in upstate New York on Lake Ontario where I was surrounded by apple orchards.

Cooking at the Cove: Cozying up to fall
Braised short ribs served with mashed potatoes is one of my top five cozy meals. I prefer this to roast beef or even steak.
