It’s about time we get down to it, wouldn’t you say? ย 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. ย It’s Autumn and we have every right to apple our doughnuts and put chicken in our pot pies. ย Here are a few of my very favorite Autumn recipes… full of all sorts of comfort and joy.

โ€ข ย Myย Dad’s Perfect Sweet Potato Pieย is hands-down my favorite treat to bake during the chilly Autumn months. ย 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.

โ€ข ย This recipe forย Morning Glory Oatsย is so warm and satisfying. ย Finely shredded carrots, sweet currants, and steel-cut oats. ย Who knew carrots belonged in a warm bowl of breakfast? ย Think of this is carrot cake in a bowl with oats. ย This recipe is from the book Whole Grain Mornings; an excellent book for Autumn.

โ€ข ย Excuse me while I dip ALL of the things in chocolate and sprinkle ALL of the things with crumbled gingersnap cookies. ย BRB: ย Gingerbread Spiced Marshmallows

โ€ข ย What would you say to waffles made out of leftover mashed potatoes, cheese, and chives? ย If you’re a friend of mine you’d say YEA BOO LET’S DO! ย Mashed Potato Cheddar and Chive Waffles

โ€ข ย Thisย Salty Honey Pieย hits my sweet tooth and my salt tooth. ย I loveย theย deeply goldenย color and flavor of this pie. ย Recipe from the ever-present Four and Twenty Blackbirds Pie Book.

โ€ข ย Scones for days! ย Theseย Pumpkin Pecan Scones with Brown Butter Glazeย are tender and cake. ย Perfect with one, two, three, four cups of coffee. ย These scones are so moist from the pumpkin that they’re even delicious reheated several days after baking!

โ€ข ย  You know I support a baked doughnut. ย It’s just cake shaped in a conveniently petit ring! ย Theseย Apple Cinnamon Baked Doughnutsย have fresh shredded apples and warm cinnamon all up in the batter. ย Perfect for Autumn weekend breakfast. ย Perfect for being generally awesome.

โ€ข ย Mac and Cheese with Minty Peasย should be a ย food group onto itself. ย Why are we even fighting this?

โ€ข ย Do you need convincing in order to take the time to make aย ย Double Crust Chicken Pot Pieย from scratch? ย It’s time consuming, yes… but trulyย such an indulgence. ย Beyond!

I hope you have some quality kitchen times this weekend. ย Big love from my hungry belly to yours!

  2. 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

  3. 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!

  4. 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.
