As the weather starts to turn cooler, it's time for comfort food and all things pumpkin spice! This collection of delicious fall recipes will keep you warm and cosy! Hearty stews, baked desserts and warming drinks, there's something you are sure to love here!
Fall is tactile. Thin cotton sweaters coming out of hibernation, followed a few weeks later by their cashmere counterparts. It's boucle and wool, chunky knit throws and glen plaid blazers. It's brilliantly colored leaves that crumble between your fingers and crunch under your toes. Best of all, though, it's creamy soups fresh from the stove top and pumpkin muffins still warm from the oven. Fall recipes are the best!
Have you felt the transition to fall in your life yet? I was on a run one Saturday morning, a little later than usual, passing by the elementary school in our neighborhood when I felt the first cool breeze and instantly came home to thumb through cookbooks and put together a grocery list.
Make your own fall inspired menu with these tasty recipes!
Slow weekends that include unhurried time in the kitchen are among my favorite things always, but especially this time of year. If you're looking for your own fall-inspired menu at home, look no further. Here's the full list of things I've either been making lately or hope to make soon! What's the best thing you've made recently?
