A lot of times during the summer, I end up making sandwiches or pasta salad or just picking up food because it is just too hot to cook. But come those cool fall evenings, I am tearing it up in the kitchen and making up for all the to-go boxes we went through over the summer. I have amassed quite the recipe collection that I can’t wait to share throughout the year, but here are a few of my fall favorites to get started…
Predictable Pumpkin: Pumpkin Bread
It ain’t fall if it ain’t pumpkin, right? But this girl is not a fan of pumpkin pie. I’m not a huge fan of pie in general, but the consistency of pumpkin pie is just not for me. But you can only have so many pumpkin spice lattes (or so my husband has told me) so I started making pumpkin bread. It.Is.Epic. I’d say to halve the recipe because it makes a ton, but I’ve never had to throw any away so I just make the whole batch. It’s enough to make a full loaf, 6 muffins (the deep pan) and a mini bundt cake. Yup, a ton. But it is sooooo good.

Crock-Pot Comfort: Beef Stew
There’s something about a crock pot meal that just screams sweater weather. I work from home so I get to smell it cooking all day and the whole kitchen is warm and inviting. I LOVE my Crock-Pot. And this recipe is a must try. It is pretty labor intensive to prep it, but it is oh, so worth it! I’m Filipino so we eat it with rice (cuz we eat everything with rice) but it is good just by itself. It’s warm and hearty and full of flavor and is the perfect fall and winter dinner.

Kid Kitchen: Apple Pie Dumplings
I love bringing my kids into the kitchen with me to be my sous chefs. They love getting to help make something, especially a dessert. These are so crazy easy and surprisingly ridiculously good, but also includes multiple ingredients, several steps, getting their hands dirty and an oven, so they feel like a Master Chef by the time it’s done. There’s nothing like the smell of apples and cinnamon to really make it feel like fall.

Succulent Side Dish: Corn Casserole
Okay, I know this doesn’t look or sound exciting, but just trust me on this one. This will easily become one of your favorite dishes. It’s so easy (and inexpensive!) and such a crowd pleaser that it’s going to be your go-to for every pot luck and family dinner. I double the recipe and I still have no leftovers, no joke. *note: pay no mind to how much cheese the recipe calls for. you sprinkle on whatever makes you happy. Treat yo’self, girl.*

Bountiful Brunch: Cinnamon Crumble Baked French Toast
Lazy Sundays mornings in warm PJs is, like, my favorite part of fall. This recipe is awesome because it sits overnight, so come that lazy Sunday morning, you just pop it in the oven and pour yourself some coffee while it bakes. You can add raisins or nuts if you’d like, but we like it just like this. Maybe with some whipped cream on top if we’re feeling fancy. It’s just warm, decadent and the flavors really wrap you in the feeling of fall.

The pumpkin bread looks super cute and I think it is a must-try in Halloween month. Thanks for the recipe.
That pumpkin bread is soooo good! It’s the right amount of sweet and spice and is the ultimate fall recipe!
I am learning how to bake now that my husband gave me a new electric oven. I am starting with the simple ones but I will be saving your recipes and adding them to my recipe book. These selection makes me hungry haha. Thanks for sharing!
That’s wonderful! Most of my recipes are on the simple side – working and being a mama and a wifey is exhausting, and while I love cooking, it can be tough at the end of the day – so I hope they work out for you!
Yep, these are all perfect for Fall! I will definitely be trying these recipes out. Thank you so much for sharing them.
I hope you enjoy them as much as we do 🙂
They’re all amazing ideas but that beef stew omg!!! I am so gonna make it soon, thank you.
The beef stew is so worth the effort! It takes me a bit to get all those veggies and the meat prepped, but that evening, I am like yup, I will do this again!
Man, now gotta make ALL these things.
Yes, you do, but maybe not all at one LOL
I can’t wait to try these! Thanks for sharing 🙂
I hope you love them!
Lots of delicious seasonal recipes here! I love the sound of the pumpkin bread and french toast. Yum!
Thank you! Both are delicious! The topping for the French toast seems like a lot but it’s really the best part of it, so use it all and make sure each bite has a bit of it. Delish!
Just five! LOL All of them sound amazing. I can’t wait to try the crock pot recipe AND the cinnamon crumble baked French toast. Definitely for my little helping hands, we will make the Apple dumplings. Thanks for sharing. The recipes will definitely makes the holidays very festive and delicious.
Just five for now…more coming soon! I hope you and your family love them all!
The pumpkin bread caught my eye. I would love to try this one day. It looks so tasty. I am definitely going to get the ingredients.
It’s the first recipe I make when the pumpkin stuff shows up. It’s so good!
I’d love to make all five right away and now deciding what to start with. All recipes are very good I’m sure.
I hope you enjoy whatever you start with! I recommend the pumpkin bread because nothing says fall like pumpkin 🙂
Some fab recipes and I am already planning to me at least 3 of the dishes shared here as I know my family would love the pumpkin bread, beef stew and corn casserole
That’s great! I hope they love them as much as my family does 🙂
I would love to try the Crock-Pot Beef Stew. This is something my boys would love! Thanks for sharing!
It’s yummy! Takes some time to prep, but it is totally worth it!
