Alright, summer is great and everything, but the heat is getting to me. I think I’m ready for scarves, jeans and all of the delicious food that comes with the changing seasons. Aren’t you?
1. Tailgating
Grilling is great, but grilling + sports + beer + getting way too competitive is even better.
4. Apple Picking
If you don’t pick your own apples, then you’re doing fall all wrong. This fall, make these personal apple pie cups.
5. Holiday Leftovers
Mashed potatoes for days. Cranberry sauce on errrything.
6. Hot Soup
Yeah, there’s always gazpacho, but soup in the summer just isn’t the same. Not to mention cheddar broccoli bread bowls that’ll warm you up anytime.
8. Cider Cocktails
Whether you go for cider sangria or fireball cider (in a mason jar, obv), autumn is peak season for cozy booze.
10. Monkey Bread
There’s no time for monkey business when it comes to pull-apart bread; get there first or it’ll be gone.
11. Pumpkin Spice Lattés
The first time of the year you lay eyes on that red Starbucks cup or catch a whiff of that pumpkin aroma — that’s magic.
12. Peppermint Everything
The reigning queen of ubiquitous seasonal flavors. Get your DIY peppermint fix with these candy cane s’mores.
13. Thanksgiving Dinner
The champion of all food holidays and TV marathons.
14. Mulled Wine
The perfect beverage for every holiday party and cuddly family gathering. Get the recipe.
15. Gingerbread Men
The spicy cookie everyone loves (right up until they bite his little head off).
16. Christmas Cookies
Even if you don’t believe in Santa, there’s nothing like stealing a few cookies off his plate on Christmas Eve.
17. No more hot dogs
Bye, bye, summer, we’ll be wanting you and your weenies again next year. But for now: No. more. hot. dogs.
