Enjoy The Fall Color & So Much More<\/h2>\n

Come bask in our fall color with the rich golden hues of autumn; a time when anything is possible. When the common green leaf of a Maple Tree changes its shade to a golden glow that, when illuminated by filtered sunlight from above, becomes a canopy of golden fall color. We love to drive down our country roads where these magnificent Maples Trees line both sides; it seems as if we are being led down a procession to reveal a special realm beyond. In truth, it makes us want to turn around and drive through it again and again!<\/p>\n

About Our Pumpkin Recipes<\/h2>\n

In our humble opinion, pumpkins are more than jack-o-lanterns. The harvest of these grand gourds is something we look forward to, for the delight they give to our refined palate. One of our favorite dishes from Julee Rosso\u2019s (and Wickwood Inn Owner) The Silver Palate Cookbook<\/em> is our fluffy \u201cGinger Pumpkin Mousse\u201d recipe. We love to serve fruit mousses as a surprise at Wickwood\u2019s Breakfast<\/a>, and while this Silver Palate Cookbook recipe is a bit unorthodox to be sure, it\u2019s yet another of our hit recipes! Give it a try!<\/p>\n
