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!

Love the ice cream sneak in! Fantastic list!
Mmm, all sort of great ideas here. =)
I am so ready for fall! I am craving soup and all things pumpkin. Now if only it wouldn’t get into the 80’s during the day.
What an amazing collection! For an Aussie who is now officially entering “spring” and who can’t give up pumpkins or apples because I love them so much your list tantalises me. I have just pinched some of the recipes and will be using the last of my precious pumpkin supplies to have a go at some of them. Cheers for a great post 🙂
I’ll take one of each please!
Wow, I seriously need to make each of these one by one, starting with the pumpkin list of course 🙂
CAn I have one of each please.!!!!
Great roundup Tracey! And I love that you snuck in an ice cream in the soups. I did a double take at first. LOL.
