Hello Friends -

September used to mean crisp mornings, shiny new school buses with Disney characters on the side for recognition and kicking chestnuts all the way to school. But that was upstate New York. Now September means hurricane warnings, more heat, and open house at the school they've been attending for weeks. I miss "home" mostly in the fall. No, I take that back. I miss "home" all the time.

Today's recipe is a delightful mix of apples, milk, and honey and provides the most delicious combination of skin care you'll ever experience. It's a foot soak perfect for tonight before you go to bed. Prepare your pedicure tub with water, a little salt, pureed apples (about 2) and 1/4 cup of honey. Stir it up and soak your feet for about 20 minutes. If you want you can add some cinnamon for a spicier fall time treat.
