fallfare1

September is here and as fall weather approaches and things cool down, we start to think of ways to stay warm. With thoughts of cooler weather, ways to use all the delicious fruits and vegetables from this glorious time of year are on my mind. This time of year I always get excited about switching my menus over from cool, crisp, and juicy to warm, hearty, and comforting. The following recipes will put you in a fall frame of mind!

Glazed Chocolate-Pumpkin Bundt Cake

Pumpkins are an iconic fall item. Therefore, pumpkin spice ANYTHING is always on the menu during this time of year. Here is a recipe for Glazed Chocolate-Pumpkin Bundt Cake. Yum!

Peach and Blueberry Crumble

Another autumn staple is apples, as well as other late-season pears and peaches. Tart, tangy and sweet are all of the flavors that you get when it comes to these fruits, along with their beautiful vibrant colors. Fall fruit cobblers come to mind when I think of these fruits. This Peach and Blueberry Crumble is sure to tempt your taste buds. Recipe HERE!

French Apple Tart

If you have gone apple picking and need something great to make with the fruits of your labor, look no further than this delicious French Apple Tart.

Beef Stew

When I think of hearty foods, one that comes to mind is stew. You can use any kind of meat or even go vegetarian when you load your stew with potatoes and lentils. Also, the types of meat used in stews are typically less expensive because they are the tougher cuts. This doesn’t matter because slow cooking them tenderizes the meat. This beef stew recipe will warm you up from the inside out.

Harvest Salad

Fall vegetables are perfect to make a harvest salad. Just because the weather is cooling down doesn’t mean that your salad lunches are over. There are many ways to make a salad just as delicious with fall vegetables. Adding roasted carrots and parsnips, butternut squash, nuts, and pumpkin seeds gives your salad an authentic fall flavor. Try this Fall Harvest Salad.

Warm Cocktails

Finally, there is nothing like a warm cocktail that makes you want to curl up in front of the fire. Try one of these drinks to warm you up after a cool day outside.
