Highlights: Fall Has Arrived

Published on September 18, 2011 By Emily. Updated on September 18, 2011

Forget the fact that it was 80 degrees outside last week—it was downright FREEZING this morning.  I suppose that means it’s officially fall.  As I mentioned at the beginning of this month, I’m cool with that.  I’m a really big fan of fall: cooler temperatures, fall foods, changing colors.  But it certainly makes it difficult to get out of bed.

autumn

Even though we’re 18 days into September, autumn’s arrival only struck me this weekend.  I went apple picking with some of my blogger friends and picked up some cider and donuts as well.  Now I’m getting ready for apple recipes, increasing my tea intake, driving through the mountains to look at the foliage and my October 2nd 5k.

It’s possible that this is true for every season, but it seems like a lot of people get overly excited about the onset of autumn.  If you’re one of those people, I hope these links help.  If you’re not, you may want to be once you take a look at them.

The Kitchn has 10 simple soups for the beginning of fall.  I love making and eating soup and more recipes are probably the last thing I need, but French Onion is sounding pretty yummy right now.

Need a little fall for your nut butter?  Wannabe Chef Evan has a recipe for homemade autumn almond butter.  I haven’t made nut butter for a while but this one is pretty tempting…

Julie’s clearly getting into the autumn spirit with 2 awesome looking recipes: brown butter pumpkin muffins and  coffee shop pumpkin syrup.  Even though I just told someone yesterday that I really don’t care about pumpkin spice lattes anymore, I kind of want to try that syrup.  Of course, I don’t drink coffee so I’m not entirely sure what I’d do with it…

Vegan blog Post Punk Kitchen has a beautiful Pear Frangipane Tart recipe that sounds delicious.  Shortbread shell or almond crust?  Yes, please.

The Huffington Post has the Ultimate Guide to Fall Pumpkin Beers.  I don’t think I’ve ever had a pumpkin beer.  Maybe this will be the year?

Finally, it’s not fall without new television shows.  Mashable has a list of 27 new shows to watch.  I’m just looking forward to the return of Castle, Bones and Glee.

It was no surprise that Public was close to full on a Wednesday night - everything was so good.

For the fourth year, I've recapped the best new (to me) recipes I made this year in the hope that they'll give you some new dishes to try. This year's list is short, but delicious. It includes @budgetbytes My Favorite Recipes of 2022
Published on December 30, 2022 By Emily. Updated on December 30, 2022

It’s hard to believe that 2022 is basically behind us. Though overall this year found me getting back to the person I want to be (post-babies and “post”-pandemic), I did not try nearly as many new recipes this year as I used to. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised to see that I’d made note of any new-to-me recipes I wanted to share in this post. This year’s list is short, but delicious. It includes recipes from @budgetbytes, @smittenkitchen and @howsweeteats.

@coastalmainebotanicalgardens continues to be one @coastalmainebotanicalgardens continues to be one of the highlights of all my return trips to Boothbay and their annual Gardens Aglow event continues to impress. It was great to be back to walking the gardens instead of the pandemic drive through and there seemed to be more lights than ever.  I'm already looking forward to next year.

Fall in the Berkshires is always incredible, but t Fall in the Berkshires is always incredible, but this year we've had weather that has also been outstanding. The past 2 weekends have included time at Jaeschke Orchards, the Greylock Glen, and the Ashuwillticook Rail Trail as well as stopping to photograph any random foliage I see. 
Check out the last slide for video of some feathered friends we saw on a walk.

@freshgrassfestival continues to be one of my favo @freshgrassfestival continues to be one of my favorite events each year, and it doesn't hurt that it's just minutes away from home. Enjoying the festival with my kids is definitely a different experience than without, but it's still a good time. The weather was especially cooperative today which was great for all the laps I did around the @massmoca campus pushing a stroller. I'm already looking forward to next year.
