Roasted Fall Sweets and Squash with Apples

  Fall is officially here and we have officially lost one of the two loose teeth!! WHOOO HOOO!!! It's been a tough road and I'm so excited to have one of the teeth finally out.  Lucca seems to be a bit better now that one tooth is gone.  It's been a tough couple of months with these loose teeth.  PANDAS and loose teeth don't
go well together.  Now, we patiently wait for the other one to come out. Did I mention I'm not the most patient person...so this is kind of hard for me.

  In the mean time I am focusing on cooking to get my mind off of that damn tooth.  With the crisp fall air it makes me want something comforting and warm.  I've been working on an Apple Crisp that I haven't quite perfected and a white cake that was kind of disastrous. But it did give me a base for biscuits, that I am now working on.  With all the fails in the kitchen lately I needed something that worked. 

  Roasting veggies are always yummy and easy, so that's what I turned to. I had a butternut squash, sweet potatoes and a ton of apples so I decided to throw them all together. I love sweet potatoes.  I use them a lot! They can go so many different ways...from sweet to savory.  You will likely see a lot of recipes with sweet potatoes coming up. It's just a good fall go to.  So get ready!  Happy Cooking and Eating!!
