This past month, one of our favorite Registered Dietitian Nutritionists, Megan Roosevelt (AKA Healthy Grocery Girl), hosted a beautiful Autumn Glory® themed luncheon with some local bloggers. The day was filled with friendly conversation and various new recipes created using Autumn Glory apples! The dishes were designed to complement Autumn Glory's natural caramel and cinnamon notes. To top off the delicious spread, the table was set around a gorgeous floral centerpiece holding - you guessed it – Autumn Glory apples!

The first Autumn Glory treat enjoyed by our friends in SoCal was a homemade apple cider from Healthy Grocery Girl! Simple and so perfect for the season!
