Saying goodbye to summer in Rhode Island is bittersweet. We’ve enjoyed months worth of umbrella-topped cocktails and mouthwatering backyard BBQ. But autumn brings on a whole new spectrum of delicious cuisine. Apples and pumpkins make strong appearance food-wise but there’s also warm drinks and comfort foods. Here are 14 fall treats to make your harvest season complete.
