She’s a writer, craft beer lover, dog mother and adventure seeker who's always on the hunt for those little-known, hidden gem spots in each place she visits. She's become quite the expert at planning budget-friendly, long weekend getaways, and Tori's absolute favorite vacation memory was resting and recharging at Tabacon Hot Springs in Costa Rica on her honeymoon. She's also fallen in love with her trips to Georgia and North Carolina with her husband, Brooks, and fur son, Deagon.

With fall and the holidays quickly approaching, you might be looking for some delicious dishes to whip up for your family and friends. (Or if you’re me, just for yourself because who likes sharing?)

This year, we partnered with Kraft Macaroni & Cheese to create a special menu (and to host super-special activities) for our annual Falladays event at 3 of our Texas resorts.

He recently gave us an inside look at his inspiration for the Falladays menu, and we knew we absolutely needed to share a few of his culinary creations with our blog readers!

Lucky for us, Chef Duane gave us 3 cozy comfort food recipes from the Falladays menu:

While they’re best experienced at our Villages, Hill Country and Piney Shores Resorts during Falladays, in the meantime ... may we suggest making them at home or in your villa kitchen?
