Happy first day of autumn! 🍂

Even though we don't experience a huge shift in seasonal weather here in San Diego, there are some beautiful signs of autumn. A very slight chill in the early morning air, an autumnal tint to the waning light, and the season's produce making an appearance at the farmers market.

I am looking forward to a beautiful autumn and hope you are too!

As my birthday week begins, I am missing the annual Santosha Food Fest! With our recent little sprout addition to the family, I wasn't able to pull off the festival this year, but I am thinking back to some of my favorite moments from years past and am filled with gratitude to the community, vendors, chefs and volunteers. 🙏

Thank you for your continued support and I am looking forward to more Food Fests in the future! 🌱
