Fall Squash Gratin Recipe
Fall and winter bring with them comfort foods like soups and stews. In early fall, I was aching for some squash and comfort foods but it just wasn’t quite cool enough to break out my soup pot and start a pot of chowder or chili. So, instead, I made tried this fall squash gratin recipe that satisfied my cravings for squash but wasn’t as hearty as a soup or stew would have been in the still warm temperatures. This recipe turned out so delicious that it may become one of top things for early fall meals.

Nicoise Pasta Salad Recipe
Turn a classic French salad into the perfect pasta salad for your light lunch or summer picnic. Niçoise pasta salad has all the classic flavors but swaps the traditional lettuce for pasta.
A traditional Niçoise salad is made up of tomatoes, hard boiled eggs, olives and anchovies. You’ll find quite a lot of variation in the ingredients and dressing though with the more modern version including potatoes and green beans such as this Niçoise pasta salad had.

Pumpkin Iced Ginger Snaps
Bake sales are my weakness. I love going to bake sales and seeing all the delicious things people have made. Being on the baking side of the bake sale though, definitely my weakness in a whole ‘nother way. So, I set out to create a bake sale worthy item that even a non-baker could throw together and make it a best seller. My quest led me to Pumpkin Iced Ginger Snaps.
These cookies use a store bought ginger snap base {because hey…we’re non-bakers here} but look just as homemade and delicious as any other treat made from scratch. Their store bought origins will be our secret.

Pumpkin Snickerdoodle Sandwich Cookies
Very few food items say fall like pumpkin, cinnamon and nutmeg. Combine them all together and you have fall in a dish…or in this case on a cookie sheet.

Turkey Taco Cups
Back to school doesn’t have to mean more fast food! Make a delicious dinner of Turkey Taco Cups in under 30 minutes that everyone will love!
With school back in session and all that comes with it {homework, after school activities, PTA, etc.}, dinner can fall pretty far down the list of priorities. That typically means more take out and/or more trips to fast food restaurants. BUT, it doesn’t have to be that way!

Key Lime Pie Dip Recipe
Fall is almost here. Like seriously…three days from now will be the official start of fall. Of course, if you are an avid blog reader like me, fall started back in early August. Today, as the last days of actual summer wane though, I invite you take one last trip with me to summer and enjoy this key lime pie dip recipe.
This dip came about as I was searching for things to serve at Mathlete’s birthday BBQ. He is a September baby and loves anything key lime. Not wanting to put in the effort for a key lime pie {sorry babe, I love you but pies just aren’t my thing}, I decided to create a dip that included all the favorite flavors of the beloved Key Lime pie.

S’mores in a Jar
Ok, the calendar officially says September which means we are heading into fall very soon! Hard to believe, right? We’re still experiencing 80+ degree days but I know those crisp fall days are coming. S’mores are one of those snacks that represent this transition from summer to fall so well. Typically they are roasted over an open flame which happen often when you haul out the fire pit {firewood} to cope with the cooler evenings that mark the end of summer. Sadly, I don’t have a place {yet} for a fire pit so I am stuck taking pity from neighbors finding other ways to get my s’mores in. After playing around with s’mores pizza, I decided to give s’mores in a jar a try.
