25 Fall Favorites!

Though we unofficially ushered in fall over Labor Day weekend, today marks the official start of the season!

The mornings have been crisp and cool all week, and we finally (finally!) were able to turn off the a/c as well. Apple orchards, pumpkin patches, football, hockey (I hope, *so* bummed about the lockout), hoodies and new tv shows – with so many things to love about fall, it makes it a little easier for me to say goodbye to summer.

To celebrate the arrival of fall today, I thought it would be fun to round up some of my favorite recipes from the archives for you! Rather than overwhelm you with 100 ideas, I focused on the quintessential flavors of the season when it comes to baking – apple and pumpkin, as well as soups, which I always start craving around this time of year. Hope you find something you want to try!
