Autumn Inspired Dishes

Fall time dishes are some of my favorites. Do you cook differently in the autumn then you do in the summer? I know I do, first thing I break out the crockpot and stock up on canned pumpkin. This is the time of year when you can enjoy all of that warm comfort food like chicken noodle soup, chili and pumpkin bread. 

I am going to share a few of my favorites that I make every year around this time of year.

I always have to make a seasonal dessert. Pumpkin anything in the fall is my go to and this pumpkin chocolate chip bread is so good!! I wrote this down a while ago and I wish I could find the blog where I got the recipe so I could link it because there were a ton of other really good recipes as well!

Chili is always a hit in the fall, my mom used to make it all the time as soon as the weather would start to cool down. I used to make it like her and then I kind of just started putting my own twist on it. I just took tips and tricks from her and my brother has also gotten me to add different things into my recipe as well. This is a super simple dish and you really don't have to use measurements....most of time I never measure.

What are some of your favorite fall dishes, I am always trying to recipes.
