Turkey, mashies or stuffing and broccoli. Don’t forget the gravy!
[Reply]
I love making butternut squash soup. I would love to try the one from this book!
[Reply]
I love pumpkin pies!
[Reply]
Anything with pumpkin, and anything with pecan are my fall favs. If the pumpkin and pecan can be in the same food, all the better.
[Reply]
at the first hint of fall i immediately crave everything pumpkin and have already made pumpkin pancakes and pumpkin whoopie pies.
[Reply]
My favorite recipe is my grandma’s pumpkin roll. Altho its one of the hardest to make. I always end of cracking the roll a little.
[Reply]
Curried Butternut Squash Soup with roasted root vegetables (any combo of beets, parsnips, turnips, sweet potatoes…). It is bright and colorful as well as yummy.
[Reply]
Hands down- apple crisp with a warm, crumbly streusel topped with slightly melted vanilla ice cream. Pure heaven in my opinion.
[Reply]
Apple dumplings with vanilla sauce are my absolute favorite fall treat.
[Reply]
Pumpkin rolls are my favorite thing to make in the fall.
[Reply]
Anything with pumpkin!
[Reply]
I love Martha Stewart’s Pumpkin Pancakes (we make them with whole wheat flour for some extra heartiness)!
[Reply]
I think pecan pies are my favorite. I love making them for Thanksgiving every year.
[Reply]
So many choices! We make a butternut squash soup with crunchy, crusty bread on the side and roasted veggies (all the good guys: parsnips, carrots, onions, and potatoes). For dessert either pumpkin brownies or vegan apple cake! Oo, I’m drooling a little just thinking about it…
[Reply]
I love making pecan pies in the fall. I use my grandfather’s recipe and of course you have to make the crust from scratch. It is one thing I get the most requests for during the fall. Any potluck, Thanksgiving or Christmas feast isn’t complete without my Pepaw’s pecan pie!
[Reply]
pumpkin crunch, pumpkin pie, anything pumpkin is great for fall
[Reply]
I am so ready to make anything with pumpkin – pie, cakes, muffins…

[Reply]
Pumpkin bread with chocolate chips….or anything w/ pumpkin for that matter!
[Reply]
Apple pie! Love my apple pie.
[Reply]
I love roasting a big tray of chunked up fall veggies with a little olive oil and salt & pepper! Parsnips, carrots, squash and sweet potatoes are delicious after being roasted at 400 for around 20 mins.
[Reply]
I also love pumpkin! Pie, cookies, bread!
And chili!
[Reply]
Anything pumpkin!
I love my pumpkin cream cheese bread.
[Reply]
Taco soup! It’s our go-to dinner in the cooler months.
[Reply]
So excited for fall and fresh apples! I love baking apple nut muffins, and cooking savory cabbage with apples to serve alongside some pan-fried pork chops. But the best thing is dipping simple sliced apples into homemade caramel sauce
[Reply]
Mulled cider, piping hot in a mug!
[Reply]
I do these pumpkin chocolate chip cookies every year that are impossible to not stuff in your face by the dozen.

During the fall I cook with apples all the time. Apple crisp, apple sauce, apple cider….you name it, I make it!

Yum! I could totally use a book like this. I love the pumpkin bread IV recipe on allrecipes with mini chocolate chips (http://replicatethendeviate.blogspot.com/2011/10/best-pumpkin-bread.html) and the sour cream pumpkin bars from midwest living recipe (http://replicatethendeviate.blogspot.com/2011/10/sour-cream-pumpkin-bars.html) and any apple cider.
[Reply]
I love roasted chicken with root vegetables in the fall. I love to use beets, butternut squash, parsnips, carrots, onions, etc. It’s like a mini Thanksgiving every time!

Every year I can not wait to make the first batch of pumpkin bread. Yes, I could make it all year round with canned pumpkin but there is just something about that first batch in autumn that makes it so much more delicious. Hmm.. maybe I should go bake some up now.
[Reply]
I would have to say, Peach Upside Down Cake. I make it the same way you would make pineapple upside down cake…but use peaches & gingerbread! Yummy!!!

[Reply]
Fall recipe I love: pasta with sausage and pumpkin and sage sauce. Yum!
[Reply]
I’ve been making lots of apple tarts ~ basically just a one-crust apple pie, and I mix up the spices. Sometimes lots of cinammon, sometimes a stronger hint of clove or ginger. I can just use a few apples and, depending on how much time I have, I can arrange them nicely or just toss them in and gather up the crust.
[Reply]
I like making warm apple cider floats with homemade French vanilla ice cream. Um… to die for.
[Reply]
