It’s about time we get down to it, wouldn’t you say? Time to roast all of the vegetables, carve all of the pumpkins, peel all of the apples, and eat all of the mac and cheese. It’s Autumn and we have every right to apple our doughnuts and put chicken in our pot pies. Here are a few of my very favorite Autumn recipes… full of all sorts of comfort and joy.
• My Dad’s Perfect Sweet Potato Pie is hands-down my favorite treat to bake during the chilly Autumn months. And when I say ‘perfect’ I mean ‘without a single flaw’, and when I say ‘favorite’ I mean ‘heeck yes it’s the best thing in the world’… just so we’re clear.
• This recipe for Morning Glory Oats is so warm and satisfying. Finely shredded carrots, sweet currants, and steel-cut oats. Who knew carrots belonged in a warm bowl of breakfast? Think of this is carrot cake in a bowl with oats. This recipe is from the book Whole Grain Mornings; an excellent book for Autumn.
• Excuse me while I dip ALL of the things in chocolate and sprinkle ALL of the things with crumbled gingersnap cookies. BRB: Gingerbread Spiced Marshmallows
• What would you say to waffles made out of leftover mashed potatoes, cheese, and chives? If you’re a friend of mine you’d say YEA BOO LET’S DO! Mashed Potato Cheddar and Chive Waffles
• This Salty Honey Pie hits my sweet tooth and my salt tooth. I love the deeply golden color and flavor of this pie. Recipe from the ever-present Four and Twenty Blackbirds Pie Book.
• Scones for days! These Pumpkin Pecan Scones with Brown Butter Glaze are tender and cake. Perfect with one, two, three, four cups of coffee. These scones are so moist from the pumpkin that they’re even delicious reheated several days after baking!
• You know I support a baked doughnut. It’s just cake shaped in a conveniently petit ring! These Apple Cinnamon Baked Doughnuts have fresh shredded apples and warm cinnamon all up in the batter. Perfect for Autumn weekend breakfast. Perfect for being generally awesome.
• Mac and Cheese with Minty Peas should be a food group onto itself. Why are we even fighting this?
• Do you need convincing in order to take the time to make a Double Crust Chicken Pot Pie from scratch? It’s time consuming, yes… but truly such an indulgence. Beyond!
I hope you have some quality kitchen times this weekend. Big love from my hungry belly to yours!

Great post! Your dad’s Sweet Potato Pie looks divine along with those Apple Cinnamon Doughnuts!
Fall has to, without a doubt, be the best baking time of the year! So much warmth and love in it!
Everything looks amazing as usual. I just received your new book and I LOVE it! Really great pictures and wonderful recipes. I can’t wait to get into the kitchen and start using it.
Oh my, those dipped marshmallows look ridiculously good!
Autumn baking is my favorite! Definitely need to make that sweet potato pie. :)
oh the powers of joy! I was reading this at 9pm on a Sunday evening and you somehow convinced me to make chicken pot pie, I must have been up for a challenge. Anyway I wanted to let you know because I had fun, I have never made a savoury pie before and it tastes awesome xo
I should bake more… I really should. Thank you for reminding me! Lovely blogpost and photo’s as always. xxx

I love the new layout of your website! Thanks for sharing the recipes. I love me some good pumpkin pie, but I’l have to give the sweet potato pie a try!
I’m probably commenting twice…but I want to try doughnuts! I’ve never made them before and baking them seems much easier that frying them!
I really feel like I need to bake a doughnut. Not that I’ve ever fried one…basically I want to try making doughnuts at home! :)
I would like to eat all of these. Right now.
anything you say, I will make. #allhailjoy <- yes I'm starting that hashtag, it's a thing.
Besides loving fall for all of the colours, chunky scarves and cozy boots … the food … oooohhh the food!!
Darn it, woman! I was all set to make vanilla marshmallows as part of a late Boss’s Day gift. Now I have to make a whole new shopping list so I can make Gingerbread Spiced Marshmallows. Because, umm, Gingerbread. Spiced. Marshmallows.
Love the morning glory oats and that book!! All the recipes are great.
I can’t wait to get back to my kitchen and start baking! I love the warmth and security of the kitchen. Thank you for the recipes.
Love love love your new layout! Also, everything about fall is the best. Excited to attempt some of these recipes.
Amazing! Each and every single recipe looks so heart warming and comforting, exactly what we need in the fall. Thank you!
Oh my … those waffles!
As I have indeed some quality time in my kitchen I’m really thankful for your perfect choices for fall! Thanks, I will try Mashed Potato Cheddar and Chive Waffles :)
