Oh man, the weather here over the weekend was absolute perfection.  Windows were open, there was a crispness in the air, and I actually could feel fall.  We had Parks' 1st birthday party and celebrated with friends and family and it couldn't have been a more perfect day.  His birthday will always signify the start of fall since it's on October 1st, and to me it doesn't seem like fall until October.  One of my favorite ways to get into any season is to start cooking with my favorite seasonal flavors.  My roasted beet and acorn squash Autumn salad is the perfect side dish or meatless dinner that will have your tastebuds in total fall bliss!
