Foodie Friday: The Flavors Of Fall

Besides falling leaves and sweater weather, fall features some of the most fabulous flavors of the year. Of course, pumpkin spice comes to mind, but there is also the savory smell of sage, juicy apples, maple syrup, cinnamon, and cider. This recipe roundup features all of that and more.


Smoky Harvest Apple Cider Margarita
This recipe had me at "smoky" which I know means Mezcal. The best margarita of my life involved that type of tequila. It's a game changer.

Pumpkin Hummus
I have made pumpkin hummus before, and make my own hummus weekly. This recipe features cinnamon, cumin, cayenne and even maple syrup. All the fall flavors.

Fuji Apple Chicken Salad With Creamy Champagne Vinaigrette
Don't you just love a pretty salad? Those homemade apple chips give it so much style, too. Delicious for lunch or dinner!

Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats
Gluten Free
Oh my, apple pie? This breakfast is worth waking up early for. These vibrant oats are naturally sweetened, subtly spiced, and incredibly satisfying.
Good morning!

Maple Turkey Chili
I am so ready for a good bowl of chili. If you are trying to eat healthy, this recipe is for you, as it is made with lean turkey. And by lean, I mean turkey breast. The secret sauce, of course, is the maple syrup. Sounds like fall.
How Sweet Eats

Spiced Pumpkin Maple Latte
I don't even drink coffee, but this looks so good to me. Like autumn in a mug. Spoiler alert: there's homemade apple butter involved.
Half Baked Harvest

Easy Swirled Cinnamon Sugar Croissant Loaf
How would you like to wake up to this? It is said to be super easy, but I must admit that I am intimidated by a recipe that calls for yeast. If you are not, this loaf looks divine.

Bacon-Latticed Apple Pie
Well, I am sorry that I didn't discover this recipe last week for the Spotlight On Apples post. What's not to love about blending beautiful bacon strips with sweet apples, and bourbon infused crust? It is surely a sensation of sweet and salty!

Crispy Roasted Potatoes with Thyme
Four simple ingredients create this delicious dish. They are the perfect partner for pork tenderloin, turkey (bookmark it for Thanksgiving) or grilled fish. 

Chile-Maple Roast Chicken
This recipe by Antoni Porowski is for "Mr. Shop This" His dream meal would be a roasted chicken.   Can't you just imagine how it smells while roasting?

Italian Pot Roast
This stick to your ribs dish is served over garlic smashed potatoes. Or to be totally Italian, serve it over creamy polenta. Just YUM!

Creamy Roasted Pumpkin Pasta With Fried Sage & Chili Pumpkin Seeds
This recipe uses the whole pumpkin with no waste at all. It starts with roasted pumpkin. Have you ever had it? Oh it is good. It has a sweet caramel flavor. And if you have not tried fried sage before, it is also yummy.

Candied Bacon Fig Bruschetta
Oh how elegant! And is there anyone that really doesn't like bacon? It's made with goat cheese, honey or maple syrup, figs, bacon, and bread.

Autumn Apple Bourbon Fizz
This is an apple butter cocktail, if you can believe. "You shake apple butter and bourbon together with ice. That’s it!" Then you add a little ginger ale or ginger beer on top with a cinnamon stick for good measure. 

Artichoke, Shallot, and Fig Pizza
Perhaps the prettiest pizza I have ever seen. It features a magic sauce that is a combination of artichoke hearts, garlic, parmesan cheese, lemon, walnuts, and rosemary blitzed together in a food processor. How unique!
