It’s September! It’s September!!! I’m hoping this means the weather will start to cool down and a fall breeze will hit the air. To me, September stands for one thing – apple season! Since school starts near the beginning of August these days (it was September when I was a kid), then that leaves the […]
Hawaiian Chicken Kebabs
