Sweet + Savory Fall Favorites

I’ve been digging into the blog archives and baking + cooking a lot of my sweet + savory fall favorites! I wanted to share a quick collection with you here.

There are soooo many more (more pumpkin stuff, pumpkin cookies, pumpkin gnocchi, scones, etc etc etc)…but I narrowed it down to a reasonable list for you.

Some Sweets…

Pumpkin Bourbon Cake

Pumpkin Bourbon Cake With Brown Butter Bourbon Buttercream

Wow, that’s a really long recipe title. But there was no other way to express all of the goodness in here! This recipe includes a tip for making it booze-free, if that’s your jam.

Spiced Apple Cake With Brown Butter Buttercream

Spice Apple Cake With Brown Butter Buttercream

Are you sensing a theme? I love me some brown butter buttercream and it goes perfectly with alll of the fall flavors. Tips for which apples to use as well as simplifying the recipe (without the buttercream). Do it!

Slow Cooker Spiced Apple Cider

Slow Cooker Spiced Apple Cider

This one is on the list for today and makes your house smell like autumn exploded in your living room!

Spiced Pumpkin Scones

Petite Spiced Pumpkin Scones

Taking it back to my scone lady days! These have three different glaze options: vanilla bean, maple and anise (don’t knock it until you’ve tried it!).

You will never want another pumpkin scone recipe again. I swear…

Pumpkin Cupcakes With Chai Frosting

Pumpkin Cupcakes With Chai Frosting

This GORGEOUS recipe comes from Adam and Ryan‘s cookbook, Husband’s The Cook and it’s incredible! The perfect, socially-distanced dessert to share with friends, if I do say so myself…

Five Spice Fig Jam

Five Spice Fig Jam

This is a quickie freezer jam and since we’re ushering in cheese & charcuterie board season (although I would argue that all of 2020 has been cheese & charcuterie season), you must make some of this to eat with allll of the cheese and allll the wine.

You can also swap in plums to make this, if you can still find them. *ALSO* this goes great with my homemade Manchego Crackers.

Some Savory Eats…

Portuguese Soup

Portuguese Soup With Crispy Prosciutto + Manchego Toast

Hailing from the days when I still did savory…I’ve been craving soup as the weather is turning just the slightest bit cooler (we’re entering a heat wave this weekend, but still) and this one is at the top of the list…

Chicken Corn Chowder

Chicken Corn Chowder

I have been cravingggg this soup. Zero cream or flour in here, it’s lighter than you think.

It’s one of my most favorite recipes from an old issue of Cooking Light that I’ve tweak and adapted. Make it — I know you’ll love it!!

The Yummiest Pizza Dough + Sauce

My Favorite Pizza Dough + Sauce Recipe

I recently made this with marinated olives (which I LOVE)…but you can feel free to put any toppings over this pizza. More than anything, I want you to try my favorite pizza dough recipe.

It bakes up perfectly crispy on the bottom, lots of dough bubbles around the edges and it’s a cinch to make. And it has same-day as well as make-ahead options.

I hope you enjoyed this collection of sweet + savory fall favorites!
