I am all about a reality television show.
But, y’all?
I can’t with the eating competitions.
You know–when there’s a “eat-the-weirdest-thing-you-can-find-on-the-island” challenge.
Yuck and double yuck.
The contest starts with something simple like prickly cactus and before you know it they are eating something that’s moving.
Could you? Would you? Eat something that made your eyes and your stomach roll? Could you take the challenge for a million dollars?
Not me.
Nope.
Not even a little.
I would have to turn in my scarf and wave goodbye to my fellow island mates and hop on the next helicopter to the mainland.
I mean, really. I like what I eat to be sweet or savory…..
…..and preferably not moving.
Good thing I have a few amazing recipes for you today.
Here are nine of the BEST fall recipes to start your week off with a yum.
The Ultimate Granola
Are you a breakfast or dinner person?
Or a person who likes breakfast for dinner.
If you do, come sit by me. And there’s nothing cozier for fall than this homemade granola.
My mother used to make granola like this when I was younger and it just makes me so happy.
You can see the recipe here.
These Snickerdoodle Cookies
These are the tried and true snickerdoodles that I’ve shared before.
So many of you baked them and emailed me about how good they were that I had to share again.
They are chewy inside and just a little crispy on the outside.
You can see the snickerdoodle recipe here.
Walnut Raisin Pumpkin Bread
This is the yummiest bread.
It has nuts and rasins and it’s so filling.
The perfect bread with coffee on a cold fall morning. It’s so good reheated, too.
You can see the recipe here.
No-Bake Peanut Butter Bars
I’ve been making these bars for years.
They are so yummy and the best part?
They are totally no-bake.
You can see the recipe here.
“Real Pumpkin” Pumpkin Pie
This is one of the recipes I made with my friend at the farmhouse in Kentucky.
I don’t know why I thought pumpkin came from a can.
Until I saw her make pumpkin pie from a pumpkin.
And it’s so good.
You can see the recipe here.
My Mother’s Cranberry Bread
No list of fall recipes would be complete without my mother’s recipe for cranberry bread.
This is the bread that she’s made for me and the neighborhood for as long as I can remember.
It’s so good and now I made it every year, too.
You can see the cranberry bread recipe here.
These Pumpkin Rolls
These are the cutest way to celebrate all the holidays.
You make them from frozen bread dough and add pecan for stems.
See the how-to for these pumpkin rolls here.
The BEST Peanut Butter Cookies
I see you fall.
These are the coziest cookies if a cookie could be cozy.
They are the soft and chewy kind of peanut butter cookie.
You can see the peanut butter cookie recipe here.
This Gingerbread House
This is the easiest gingerbread house recipe.
I made it with a pan that looks like a house and a boxed mix.
So easy and cute for fall.
You can see the gingerbread house recipe here.
Wait.
I changed my mind.
I think I like an eating contest.
But only if it’s to see what the coziest recipe is for fall.
That’s my kind of contest.
