My Fall Foodie List

While everyone around me is mourning the fact that summer is coming to an end, I'm over here impatiently waiting for the temperatures to drop and for fall to arrive! Fall is hands down my favorite season. There is nothing better than a sunny, crisp fall day. In honor of fall being right around the corner, I rounded up some of my favorite fall-inspired recipes. There's nothing more comforting to me than spending time in the kitchen and whipping up my favorite (and new to me!) meals to enjoy on a chilly day. I hope you enjoy the recipes below and just a warning... I hope you like apples, because they show up A LOT in the recipes I'm sharing :)
