Happy Fall!

Today is the first day of fall, and honestly, I have no idea where the summer went. The kid I wanted to stick around the longest ran away the fastest. Just my luck.

I have to admit though, fall isn't too bad either. Even though the days are getting shorter and colder, it just gives us an excuse to wear cute sweaters and comfy sweatpants all while grabbing a warm mug of tea or hot chocolate and debating which pumpkin recipe we want to tackle next.

Fall is the season of cloves and cinnamon. Pumpkin and squash. And most importantly -- halloween candy. Which should be a food group all to itself.

Since it's finally time to jump with both feet into fall cooking/baking (rather than just dipping a toe in the middle of summer, and looking sheepishly around to make sure no one is looking at you like you're off your rocker) here are a few of my favorite fall treats:







What are your favorite fall dishes?
