Fall

While New England shines uniquely in all four seasons, there’s something magical about the bright colorful leaves, crisp air, and pristine orchards that take over every autumn. Leaf peepers will flock to New England destinations like New Hampshire's Kancamagus...

Everyone thinks of fall as apple picking season. And apple picking is great — don't get me wrong.

All of a sudden, the school year has begun, the leaves are starting to change, and I'm putting on a sweater. This is the time for apple picking, for yard clean up, and for fall soups. Yes, soup! As the days start getting shorter and the temperatures start dipping, I find nothing more comforting than a bowl of soup. And as a mom of two trying to get dinner on the table after a day at the office, there is nothing more comforting than my Instant Pot — my amazing set-and-forget, one-appliance wonder.
