DINNER 🍽️
If you're looking for a cozy dinner to enjoy during a brisk fall evening - this is it! Absolutely classic & so rich on the pallet.
Beef Bourguignon
There's something SO classic about Chicken & Dumplings, but this recipe is top-tier. If you delight in fluffy dumplings and have been hunting down the perfect recipe to make them at home - this one is for you!
BEST Chicken & Dumplings
Cranberries pair well with so many fall dishes, but this chicken recipe is one of my favorites!
Cranberry Rosemary Chicken
No fall dinner “cookbook” would be complete without meatballs and gravy. This coupled with creamy potatoes & roasted carrots as a side is *chefs kiss*.
Meatballs and Gravy
SOUPS 🥘
Soup season is here & I could not be more excited for it! This one is excellent day of … but let it sit overnight and the next day it's even better! Some of the best leftovers there are.
Creamy Wild Rice Chicken Soup with Roasted Mushrooms.
Jazz up your traditional tomato soup by adding tortellini! It makes it a bit more filling & flavorful.
Tomato Tortellini Soup
These flavors make my tastebuds dance every time! So creamy, yet the perfect bit of spice.
Gnocchi Zuppa Toscana
This soup is a crowd favorite! If you're hosting this fall - this soup goes a long way & will not disappoint.
Easy Cheeseburger Soup Recipe
Chili season is upon us! I know each household seemingly has its own family chili recipe … but if you don't already, this one is SO worth giving a whirl. Paired with cornbread, you simply cannot go wrong.
Beef Chili
SALADS 🥗
A girlfriend who hosted dinner over at her house introduced me to this salad & I have been obsessed ever since!
Apple Cranberry Fall Salad
If you enjoy a salad that is both a bit of sweet & a splash of savory … this is it!
Butternut Squash Salad
Any salad that adds pasta, I am head over heels for & has me instantly drooling.
Fall Salad with Maple-Lime Dressing
A kid-friendly salad ;) A fruit salad is always a nice addition & if you want it to act as dessert, you can couple it with whipped cream or ice cream.
Fall Fruit Salad
BREADS 🥖
This rosemary bread smells so delightful & pairs wonderfully with meatballs and gravy.
Soup lovers - this is a must-add to have as a side! Nothing quite beats dunking fresh baked bread into a cozy cup of soup.
Rustic French Bread
This, too, pairs like a dream with soup, but if you're in need of a quick lunch, they pair great with ham & cheese as well.
Slider Buns
If one is making chili, you must be making cornbread too! They go hand in hand just like peanut butter and jelly.
Honey Butter Cornbread
SIDES 🥕
My favorite side to pair with creamy mashed potatoes, meatballs, & gravy.
Roasted Carrots with Candied Pecans and Goat Cheese
While these are more of an appetizer, these bites are absolutely delectable. If you're making the Cranberry Chicken - add these on as a side to give that extra nod to the cranberry flavors.
Cranberry Brie Bites
While these take a bit more time & effort than a typical baked potato - these are a crowd-pleaser if you're hosting.
Mini Baked Potatoes
Every Thanksgiving - this is what I look forward to loading my plate up with. My inner-childs heart still LOVES this!
Creamed Corn Mac and Cheese | Spoon Fork Bacon
DESSERT 🍮
I'm a sucker for oatmeal cream pies … but these pumpkin ones are what fall dreams are made of!
Pumpkin Oatmeal Cream Pies
If you can't decide between pecan pie or brownies … make both with these bars! SO sweet & gooey!
Pecan Pie Brownies
I love a good blondie throughout the year, but add pecans & bourbon, and it instantly tastes like fall!
Brown Butter Bourbon Pecan Chocolate Chunk Blondies - Baker by Nature
Another one for my pecan pie lovers … this bread pudding will hit a little different with the boomer generation!
Drunk Pecan Pie Bread Pudding
BREAKFAST 🥞
Is it breakfast or dessert?? Not sure - who's counting anyway ;) These couple up brilliantly with a cup of hot coffee {or chai}!
Homemade Chai Scones with Maple Chai Glaze
Starbucks could never. If you need to use up those extra apples from your tree - try this out!
Cinnamon Apple Bread
This bread then turned into french toast & topped with apples is incredible!
Cinnamon Swirl Bread
Think of it as monkey pull-apart bread, but given a fall twist!
