Now is the time for family and guests; for a full house, for friends, parties and caroling. It’s time for wrapping up work, prepping the house, hanging decorations and spending time with family. Now if you can balance it all out do please send me your secret. If you are like me though, you are feeling more than a little behind and more than a little exhausted. Trying to fill the days with cheer and merriment can certainly wear a girl out! Feeding all of those guests and family members certainly can do you in as well. The key of course is managing expectations, giving your self a little grace and some help in the kitchen. Now the first two items I can’t help with but the third, readers, I have you covered.
Fall is an exciting time for so many reasons! One of my favorite though is that some of my favorite cooking ingredients come back! You could probably guess one, as it’s the flavor that takes the nation by storm every September: pumpkin. My other favorite is apple. But there are so many other fall flavors, too! So we decided to round up some of our favorite fall recipes.
Pumpkin Simple Syrup // Shiner Bock Chili
Homemade Pumpkin Applesauce // Spicy Tomato Soup
Pumpkin Marscapone Ravioli // Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins // Acorn Squash Souflee
Sweet Potato Bisque // Bites as Sweet as Pumpkin Pie
Oatmeal Apple Spice Cake // Sweet Citrus Baked Acorn Squash
What are your go to fall flavors?
I realize it’s still the dog days of summer, and it’s super hot outside. And that, if you live in the South like me, chances are the weather’s not turning toward fall for at least another month to month and a half.
However, the incredibly hot weather hasn’t stopped me from wanting to eat soup this season.
And yes, I know this is strange, but sometimes, a girl’s gotta have soup! And apparently, any home-y soup is my comfort food of choice these days.
