    Elissa Tracy|Nov 21, 2024

    As the first chill of fall creeps in, it nudges us toward the familiar rituals of the season. But what marks the true beginning of fall?

While “sweater weather” has become synonymous with autumn—immortalized by the iconic Saturday Night Live skit—it could just as easily be called “crock pot season.” The time of year when we swap out light salads for hearty stews, and our kit...
