The leaves are fallin', the squash is roastin' and the temps are droppin'. It's autumn, yo!
And I'm freeeeeeeezing. Going outside has been just shy of painful and it's not even that cold yet! I vehemently loathe the cold weather. Why oh why do I live in Ohio? That is the question.
P.S. You all should go outside and grab ten pretty (or ugly) leaves. Then paint them gold! Once they're dry, arrange them in a bowl for the prettiest little centerpiece.
Older recipes tend to get a bit lost in the shuffle when you post newer and more exiting recipes each week. Some of my older recipes are most definitely my faves, despite the beyond fugly pictures I took of them back in the day. These aren't all older recipes, but they're all perfect for chowing down on chilly fall nights. Dig in!
Hearty Lentil, Kale and Potato Soup
No-Bake Pumpkin Pecan Cookies
Spiced Apple and Carrot Muffins
Baked Apple and Tempeh Stuffed Squash
Fluffy Apple Cider Pancakes
Butternut Squash Salad with Orange Maple Cinnamon Dressing
Maple, Almond and Date Brussels Sprouts
What fall recipes are you loving right now? Do tell!

What a great roundup, Alexis! I'm especially loving the idea for those brussels sprouts, and the pancakes -I can't resist anything related to apple cider!
Alexis says
I haven't had any apple cider this season---such a tragedy!

Oh you Ohioians (Ohians? Ohioans?) Ohans?)...I don't know how you do the cold thing! I hear it gets blistering freezing out there....I would lay in front of a fire in the fetal position until summertime if I lived there.
How did I miss this post?? Lookit all these delicious fall-inspired recipes! I've been dying over those apple spice muffins ever since you posted them. Looks like I have a baking project to do today, cause I just can't get them off my noggin!
Alexis says
Bahahahah I'm totally going to hibernate in the fetal position till the flowers start sprouting.

Urgh, its pretty selfish of you to post this right in the peak of my study period- its screaming for some procrasti-baking happening. You know I'm a fan of that apple pie smoothie and now have some baked goods which need to be made....
Alexis says
Procrasti-baking is totally my new word. We need to contact Webster STAT!

Jess @ JessieBear What Will You Wear? says
Oooh love the leaf idea. Gorgeous with the gold. I love chilly weather, but not cold (if that makes sense). So anything between 40-65 degrees and I'm the happiest girl ever.... when it drops below 40 I hate everyone and everything. Same goes to when it's above 80.... so I don't know why I live where I live (Chicago) either! haha
Alexis says
I feel ya!! I hate when it's super hot or super cold...in the middle is juuuust right.

Yuuum those no bake pecan pie cookies are calling to me! I'll have to keep those in mind for Thanksgiving. And uhh ya. Why do I live in Ohio, too? If it was snowing in Cbus like it was snowing in Athens yesterday... just ugh.
Alexis says

I need to make that pumpkin pie smoothie i know I am going to love it but just havent done it. I am loving everything comfort food right now, more so if pumpkin is involved.
Alexis says
I'm been making it a couple times a week! It's such an easy and tasty way to sneak in fruits and veggies.

Davida @ The Healthy Maven says
So I tried to do the whole painting leaves gold thing this year but my roommates ahem parents were sooooo not down. Then I tried mini squash and somehow they made their way into the compost! T-minus 3 months till I move out and can decorate future home in all things seasonal!
p.s. so down for this jewish recipe makeover club. I say we get Lexi and Lee on board!
Alexis says
Waahhhhh that's so sad! You should totally paint leaves and hide them in your room.

Every time I open up my browswer, I have your Apple Pie Smoothie recipe glaring at me- I need to make it stat! Although it's hardly a recipe, I am loving the combo of homemade applesauce with oats, nut butter and yogurt---> so simple yet so tasty!
Alexis says
You MUST make it!! I'm so sad to say that I've never made homemade applesauce...sounds AMAZING though.
