11 Delicious Treats for Fall
If you’re throwing a Halloween party you’re going to need appetizers and snacks to get the party started! Scroll through for 11 delicious fall recipes featuring popcorn balls, cookies, muffins and more!
Fall is by far my most favorite season! If I could live in a year full of only fall, I would! Ever since I was a kid I have loved the start of school, the changing of the colors, the cooler temperatures and most of all…by birthday, a few days before Halloween! As I got older, fall became my favorite because it was Cross Country season. For 10 long years, from middle school through division I college, I raced long distance races competitively sporting the all so lovely, spankies as my uniform.
Nothing in my life has pushed me to the limits I pushed myself to in running. It was the true love of my life and I devoted my heart and soul to it…until I became injured and ended up not being able to race my senior year of college. It was life altering to say the least, something I had devoted soooo much time to, all of a sudden I wasn’t able to do anymore. But thankfully, I had my sweet to-be hubby who had transferred out to my university the year prior and I was able to occupy myself planning our wedding rather than feeling sorry for myself. During that time of planning our wedding, I also began to play Susie Homemaker because I suddenly had 3 hours back in my day where I was not running. I tried teaching myself to cook but it really wasn’t working out so well, the only thing I really could master was baking! So, I hope you find these recipes below as delicious as I think they are! Enjoy and happy fall!

Mini Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins
This is one of my most memorable recipes on the blog as it was one of the first recipes I had made in my “grown up” life. The recipe was given to me by a dear co-worker in Georgia and when my daughter was old enough to hold a wooden spoon, she and I began baking with her on top of our counter in a bouncy seat. These muffins are not only sentimental…they are the most requested recipe by my sister when she visits! I hope your family loves them as much as mine 🙂
