    This past weekend signified the start of fall in our home. Yes I know fall technically started back in September, but it has been so hot here in central Florida, it has felt more like summer than anything else. This past weekend it rained, and the cool weather finally came. With that first hint of cool air, I got up early, and opened all the windows to air out the house and start a massive fall cleaning. Then with the house all clean, tidy and aired out, it starts to really feel like fall. My family spends more time inside playing video games and watching movies, and we can really enjoy fall dishes like this butternut squash and sage rigatoni. I roasted the squash first for this recipe, which really brought out the flavors of the squash. I then added fresh sage and Gruyère cheese which complimented the butternut squash really well.

      Childhood Favorites from the Shine Supper Club

      My after-school snack was a sacred ritual. I sat on the carpet in my parents' bedroom at a low table, the television turned to "I Dream of Jeannie," and ate a peanut butter and honey sandwich cut into neat squares. I wasn't fussy about crusts. I just loved the sticky pairing of creamy peanut butter with syrupy golden sweetness drizzled from a honey bear in diagonals across the soft white bread. Nothing else--save for maybe apples and peanut butter in a pinch--could have made for as sweet an
