Butternut squash bruschetta is the perfect fall or winter appetizer.  Slices of toasted bread are topped with a creamy mix of ricotta, honey, and browned butter, then a generous heap of roasted butternut squash, and drizzled with honey.

Roasted butternut squash is easy to make, and when roasted with herbs and dressed with browned butter, it makes an absolutely delicious Thanksgiving side dish.

This snickerdoodle cookie recipe has everything you want: crisp edges, a soft snickerdoodle center, and a delicious coating of cinnamon sugar.  Snickerdoodle cookies are always delicious, but I've been tweaking my family's recipe, and I really think this is the best snickerdoodle cookie I've ever had.

Apple muffins are a delicious thing to bake in the fall, when apples are in season.  This apple muffin recipe is quick and easy to make, and is full of apple flavor because it uses both applesauce and chopped apples in the recipe.

These not-too-spooky halloween napkin rings are made from googly eyes and felt, and are the perfect addition to your Halloween tablescape.  I love making DIY napkin rings for holidays and parties, and this googly eyes craft is perfect for Halloween.

This is the BEST homemade hot chocolate mix recipe!  Homeamde hot cocoa mix is absolutely delicious, so easy to make, and tastes better than anything store bought.  This is a large batch hot chocolate mix recipe.

Apple crumble is a close cousin to apple crisp, and is the perfect, easy fall apple dessert to make if you don't like oats.  Fresh apples are topped with a buttery, crumbly crumb topping that contrasts perfectly with the warm, baked apples of the filling in this classic apple crumble recipe.
