Happy Halloween!
Did you dress up this last weekend? Go to Halloween parties?
I’m not really one to dress up for Halloween. But I do love seeing people dress up. So many creative costumes out there!
With October wrapping up, I thought I would share with you some of my favorite easy fall inspired recipes from over the years.
I love all the seasons, but fall is my favorite. There’s something about fall that’s truly inspiring. Leaves changing colors on the tree branches, a variety of squashes in abundance, the upcoming holidays, and the warm flavors of the herbs and spices used in cooking.
I get really excited about fall and all the things that come with it. I only wish it didn’t pass by so fast!
Seriously, only four more Thursdays until Thanksgiving.
So while fall is still here, let’s enjoy some fall inspired dishes!
Breakfast/Brunch
What’s better than starting the day with some fall inspired breakfast?

Sometimes it’s the appetizers and sides that shine.

Hope you’ll enjoy these easy fall inspired recipes!
Andrea, your blog is simply the best! I cook but I swear that I dont have any imagination… I can do very good sushis and have posted some pictures on Instagram, but that is the best I can do, really; whereas you, make me jealous, envy and very hungry!!! I love the way you present your cooking… Congrats!!!!
Thank you so much! It just takes a little bit of practice to get creative. You look at a classic recipe and then think of a way to add a unique twist to it. Hope that helps!
