It’s no secret that fall isn’t one of my favorite seasons—the unpredictable weather, the wet leaves covering the ground, that first few crusts of snow that indicate winter is on its way…in fact, I’m fine with snow.  That is, during about January 1st, after which I had filled up for the year. But overall, I’m definitely a spring/summer girl.

But I’ll admit that fall has some perks—specifically football season, all things pumpkin, and delicious food… So, starting with this cheese meatball casserole! I mean, casseroles and fall go hand in hand. right?
