Oh, there is just something so good about the food fall brings! The warm, cozy flavors of fall are not something to be missed this season. Making food together as a family creates family memories and traditions that everyone will enjoy.
While these two recipes might not scream fall in quite the same way, make sure to check out our Zucchini Bread Recipe and our Tomato Puff Pasty Recipe to use up those tasty fall garden goods!
Here are some fun and festive treats to make during the next few months!
Pumpkin Pancakes
Pumpkin pancakes on a crisp fall morning will always be a hit! We love this recipe from Once Upon a Chef! Make a simple maple syrup flavored whipped cream or toast some walnuts to give them even more fall flavor.
Apple Cider Donuts
Apple cider donuts are a must during the fall. Mix apple cider into a traditional donut batter, fry until golden brown, and dust with a generous coating of cinnamon sugar. These sweet treats are perfect for dunking in a warm cup of apple cider.
Butternut Squash Soup
Warm up on a chilly autumn evening with a creamy butternut squash soup. Roast butternut squash, then blend it with sautéed onions, garlic, and vegetable broth. Finish with a swirl of heavy cream and some toasted pumpkin seeds for added crunch. If you want to spice up the soup a bit add a generous amount of curry powder while sauteing your onions!
Caramel Apples
Caramel apples are a fun and festive fall treat. Dip crisp apples into melted caramel, and let them cool until the caramel hardens. You can get creative by rolling them in crushed nuts, sprinkles or even drizzling them with chocolate.
Hot Chocolate with Marshmallow Shapes
Give your hot chocolate a Halloween twist by adding marshmallow ghosts. Simply cut marshmallows into ghost shapes and float them on top of your hot cocoa. It’s a spooky and sweet delight for all ages. Cut out leaf shapes for fall!
Roasted Pumpkin or Squash Seeds
When carving pumpkins for Halloween, don’t discard the seeds! Rinse and dry them, toss them with olive oil, salt, and your favorite seasonings, then roast them in the oven until they’re crispy and golden. Try using seasoning salt, taco seasoning or garlic salt!
Maple Glazed Bacon
Elevate your breakfast game with maple glazed bacon! Brush slices of bacon with maple syrup and bake until they’re crispy and caramelized. The combination of sweet and salty is pure autumn perfection.
Cinnamon Sugar Baked Apples
Baked apples are a comforting dessert that’s simple to make. Core apples, fill the cavities with a mixture of brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter, then bake until tender. Serve them warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an irresistible treat.
Cranberry-Pecan Chicken Salad
For a refreshing fall lunch, prepare a cranberry-pecan chicken salad. Mix roasted chicken, dried cranberries, chopped pecans, and diced apples with a creamy dressing. Serve on a bed of fresh greens or as a sandwich filling.
These fall-inspired drinks and dishes are sure to bring the flavors of the season into your kitchen. Embrace the warmth and flavors of autumn with those you love most!
