Into the Fall
I feel like I need to see where I’ve been in order to figure out where I’m going. I mean that in the most food sense of the phrase.
I need to start thinking about apples instead of peaches, and caramelized onions instead of avocados. I can get there… I can totally get there with time.
Right now, I just want to hold onto these Indian Summer afternoons and gloriously late sunsets.
Caramelized Mushrooms and Dumplings. It’s like Chicken Pot Pie without the chicken and with extra mushrooms and biscuits. It’s savory greatness.
Book Tour Note: I have a feeling that VERMONT will get me into the mood for the Fall holidays. I’ll be in Vermont celebrating the King Arthur Grand Opening weekend this coming Saturday, September 22! I would LOVE to see you!
Ps. I hope to be signing books in Boston in early December. More details to follow!
The combination of orange and chocolate is my go-to December comfort flavor combination. Chocolate Orange Cream Cheese Pound Cake is happy breakfasting.
Chocolate Hazelnut Pudding is reminiscent of Nutella and indulgent as all heck!
Biscuits are one of the best reasons to turn on your oven. Mushroom and Onion Buttermilk Biscuits. It’s time. It’s time…
Look at all this Fall flavor madness.
Geez, I’m just trying to prepare you… because I’m barely prepared myself.
Dad’s Perfect Sweet Potato Pie.
Honey Cranberry Cornmeal Quickbread
Pear Spice Cake with Walnut Praline Topping. Maybe I just want to make the Walnut Praline Topping and serve it with a spoon.
I feel like these tacos are a bridge between Summer and Winter. Roasted sweet potatoes are combined with quick picked cabbage, keeping the flavors grounded but bright. Black Bean and Sweet Potato Tacos. I can see it now… I’m about to eat these for weeks.
I hope you have the most lovely Sunday night. I hope there’s good tv and lots of tacos. Tomorrow: fried guacamole. Saturday: VERMONT!

Yes Boston please! I’m already over the moon about Deb from Smitten Kitchen coming…and you could only make me feel more excited!
Can’t wait to see you next weekend at King Arthur! It’s most certainly looking like fall out east…
Oh…love. Fried what? Travel safe.
Thanks for the fall recipe inspiration. I need that chocolate orange pound cake in my life ASAP!
I’m easing into fall as well. Made pumpkin spice granola this morning and the house smells delicious!
Oh man, Joy… you’ve got me all pumped for Fall now. Mostly because I get to try out these awesome recipes! Whee! :)
Such a lovely post about Fall! I fall in love all over again with the seasons every time they change! Right now I’m all about fall flavors – I’ve got Tracy’s mom’s Sour Cream Coffee Cake in the oven right now and the hubs and i are making your Baked Chili Cheese Fries for dinner tonight. Cheese Fries and a glass of wine…promises to be the best dinner ever! Thanks for the inspo always!
you’re on it!!
Joy–
You need to come sign books in the Denver area. Come in the winter and I’ll take you to the snowy mountains! :)
i do need to come to denver. snow sounds cold!
delicious fall recipes! i want them all! i’m ready!
Love all the fall recipes. I’m ready to jump into the season. Printing the cranberry cornmeal bread RIGHT NOW. The perfect thing to switch up my quickbread rotation.
JOY!!!
I really hope you come to Boston. We would LOVE to see you here.
All these recipes look delicious! I’m looking forward to making lots of soups this fall and winter. The change in weather is such a relief after the hot summer!
So excited for fall because now I can justify making your vegan pumpkin bread! So much yum.
Yeah! Norwich, VT is so close to where I live. I get to have you sign my book. So happy!
Enjoy Vermont, Joy. You’re going to have visited two of my favourite states (and homes) in what seems like a whirlwind. I hope you end up feeling the same way about VT that you did about ME. :) :)
I have made the black bean tacos and the pear praline cake pictured above, and both are AMAZING!
While you’re here on the East Coast you should head down to Washington, DC for a book signing! You might be completely disgusted at the amount of flour, butter, and bourbon that I’ve gotten on your beautiful book, but I promise that just means that it’s loved :)
Yes, PLEASE COME!!
Oh yes Pretty Please come to DC!! Or Richmond, VA, even! But DC is close enough – I will definitely drive up to meet you and get an autograph!
Another vote for DC!!! Please come Joy!
Pam and Cheryl,
If she comes, would you like to do a JTB welcome party or pre-party (like a tailgate) with JTB favorites? adhbnme@yahoo.com
i definitely need to come to DC!
i’d be totally in love with all the butter stains in your book. that’s real!
