For today’s post, I’m sending you away first. Follow me over to Hungry Happenings, where I guest post with a tutorial on how to make painted fall cookies. Beth of Hungry Happenings has one of those creative-food-blogger minds that awes me. I’ve been a longtime fan of her work and a longtime blogging friend, too, so I’m honored to visit her in her internet home.

Need more leaf in your life beyond painted fall cookies? Some more shades of auburn, burnt sienna, and mustard? You can eat leaves all day if you want.

(Hmmm, now I’m thinking of all the ways we eat actual leaves, both for health and for fun. I actually mean food-that-looks-like-leaves. I promise.)
