    What are some of your favorite fall food flavors?  Holiday cooking is also approaching.

    That is a very easy question for me. My mother-in-laws apple pie. Almost as good as my mothers. Unfortunately my mother cooked by memory so when she passed no one in the family had her recipe. My mother-in-law does make a fantastic pie and apple crisp. The next favorite flavors for me are sweet potatoes and squash. Been enjoying the fall vegetables for a while now and will continue to do so for the next few months. Anybody else have any favorite fall flavors.

    Apple crips sounds delicious right about now!  Topped with a good whipped cream or ice cream.

    My fave fall flavor is also squash. Here is our recipe for a Veggie Chili that calls for squash: 

    1/4 cup KRAFT Zesty Italian Dressing
    2 medium  onions, chopped
    10 arbol chiles, stemmed, torn into pieces
    1 medium  butternut squash, peeled, cubed (about 3 cups)
    4 large carrots (1 lb.), chopped
    2 red peppers, seeded and chopped
    2 cans (15.5 oz. each) red kidney beans, drained
    2 cans  (14.5 oz. each) diced tomatoes, undrained
    2 cans (8 oz. each) tomato sauce
    1 cinnamon stick
    5 cups hot cooked rice
    1 pkg.  (8 oz.) KRAFT 2% Milk Shredded Colby & Monterey Jack Cheese
    1/2 cup chopped cilantro, divided

    HEAT dressing in large stockpot on medium-high heat. Add onions; cook 5 to 7 min. or until crisp-tender, stirring frequently. Stir in chiles; cook 1 min.

    ADD squash, carrots, red peppers, beans, tomatoes, tomato sauce and cinnamon stick; bring to boil. Simmer on medium-low 30 min. or until squash is tender.

    DISCARD cinnamon stick. Serve chili over rice; top with cheese and cilantro.
