Let’s celebrate… fall!
Fall is almost here… my favourite season! It’s never too early to start thinking about ways to enjoy the awesomeness of fall. Start with this great roundup of fall recipes. It’s just a reminder of all the fruits and vegetables that are available in local fall markets waiting to be enjoyed!
Let’s start off the countdown at #10 – Turkey & Apple White Chili – What’s the ‘king’ of fall fruits? It’s got to be the apple! This chili is one of those stick-to-your-ribs meals, with a modern twist.
#9 – Apple Cake with Maple Buttercream and Pecan Trim – this is one of my most popular recipes, a fall classic!
#8 – Roasted Plum Salad with Candied Pecans – Plums are a great reason to love fall.
#7 – Pumpkin & Chocolate Layer Cake with Whipped Brown Sugar Frosting – This recipes was Sweet of the Month for October, an excellent blend of sweet and spice.

#5 – Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Apples – This Brussels sprout salad is the perfect side dish for the sprout-weary folk at your Thanksgiving table.
#4 – Spiced Pumpkin Cake with Molasses Cream Cheese and Ginger Snaps – I have no idea why is cake is not my most popular of all time… it is truly awesome. Moist, tender and really easy.
#3 – Spiced Sweet Potato Coconut Soup with Pepitas – I have a thing for the spicy combination of cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger. It’s a combo that makes any soup, stew or meat so warm and inviting.
#2 – Pumpkin Zucchini Loaf with Streusel Topping – I know another pumpkin recipe, but I tossed in the bonus of zucchini this time. It’s a simple go-to loaf that is moist and delicious every time.
