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.

Apparently, in the weirdness that is 2020, posting Apparently, in the weirdness that is 2020, posting to my Instagram feed was one of the things that didn't make the cut. There are more items than I'd prefer in that category, but recently I've felt like I'm beginning to get my feet firmly planted beneath me again. This fall was so busy with learning how to teach remotely and parent 2 children well. I don't anticipate that life will ever feel not busy, but I've been able to carve out some time lately for activities I've been missing. Making bread is one of those activities. Hopefully, more posts in the feed will be more frequent going forward.

#sponsored All the time we've spent at home lately #sponsored All the time we've spent at home lately has definitely had me looking to expand the snack options in my pantry.  I jumped at the chance to try these @sunmaid Sour Raisins  and they immediately became one of my daughter's favorite snacks. She likes them because they're reminiscent of candy, I like them because they're technically fruit and they come prepackaged for easy snacking and taking on the go. I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty they are!

This weekend's weather was amazing and my family e This weekend's weather was amazing and my family embarked on the only way to kick off fall: we went apple picking at Jaeschke Orchards in Adams.  The parking lot was full, but out in the orchard we hardly came across any other groups.  The trees were heavy with apples and we quickly filled our bag. Looking forward to apples for snacks, pie, crisp and turnovers in the coming weeks.
