Friends, it’s fall. Beautiful, glorious, cool and crisp fall. It’s my favorite season, by a landslide. I love the apple picking, the pumpkin patching, the soup-ing, the baking, the crock potting and the opportunity to wear leggings every single day. Today I want to share with you some favorite fall recipes. Some are oldies, but goodies. And some are on my list to attempt the next few months. Hope you find something worth trying to get you in fall mode.
Side note: I’m throwing it back with this fall picture of Baby Lily. Give me all the pumpkins and baby cheeks and matching headbands and leggings.
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins
If you want to taste fall, bake these now. I am not a big pumpkin spice latte fan, but I can eat at least four of these muffins right out of the oven. If you don’t try any of the recipes listed here, please try these. (And bring me one.)
Brown Butter Bourbon Pecan Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Let’s stick with baking. These cookies look incredible. Full disclosure, I have not made them, but these beauties are pinned because I can’t stop looking at their golden delciousness. Those pecans! We don’t normally have bourbon on hand, so I will probably substitute bourbon extract assuming I can find it. These are on my fall bucket list.
Guys, I used to cringe at this stuff. The gravy and peas and carrots and chicken made me shutter. However, I obviously didn’t know what I was missing. Chicken pot pie is one of the most decadent meals invented and it all fits inside a pie pan. This recipe calls for homemade pie crusts, but I have never made one of those in my life. Pillsbury will do just fine. Pot pie is a fan favorite at our house.
Easy 30 Minute Homemade White Chicken Chili
You heard that right. Easy and on the table in 30 minutes. This chili has a ton of flavor for not a lot of time. I usually buy a rotisserie chicken ahead of time or will cook up some chicken in the crock pot during the day. We eat this weekly in the fall and winter.
Last fall and winter I made bread as often as I could, usually on the weekends. It was one of my favorite rhythms. When spring came the bread making was something I let go. But, fall is back and I plan on making this bread as often as I can. It’s crusty and soft in the middle and the best part is you don’t have to spend a bunch of time kneading it. Our October weekends will be full of this bread.
There you have it, some of my favorite fall recipes. What are some recipes you pull out when fall rolls around? Please share!
