Tasty Tuesday: Fall Favorites

Fall is here and a change of season means a change of favorite recipes in my kitchen.  It's time to enjoy the last of what's in season at your local farmer's market and start serving heartier recipes.  My family is starting to feel the cold here as the Midwest starts to get prepared for the coming winter.  For this week's Tasty Tuesday I thought I would share a few of my favorite fall recipes that I have pinned in my Culinary Inspiration board on Pinterest that I can't wait to try.  Enjoy!

Iowa Girl Eats has a 15 minute tomato basil soup with cheese tortellini that I can't wait to make for my kids.  We can't get enough tortellini around here.

Miriam at Eat Good 4 Life shares this recipe for Creamy Pumpkin Pasta .  I am a fan of pumpkin but usually in sweeter recipes.  I think this fall is the time to start experimenting in the savory direction.

Chickpea Tomato Minestrone Soup at Vegetarian Adventures just looks amazing for starters.  I am a big fan of chunky tomato based soups and this one definitely fits that bill.  It also might actually get me to eat more greens.

Sweet Potato and Edamame Shepherd's Pie from Veg Kitchen is a great twist on a family favorite.  I would never have thought to add edamame to this dish.  Shepherd's pie is on the top of my comfort food list so I knew I just had to give this a try.

Crock pot Quinoa Chili from Everyday Reading is a recipe that makes a casual dinner at home so easy.  It's a set it in the slow cooker and forget it for 6 - 8 hours kind of meal that the whole family would love.  Quinoa also makes it hearty and full of healthy protein.    


















What are some of your favorite fall recipes you can wait to whip up for your family this month?

Mosaic Monday: Fall Afghan Inspiration

Fall is definitely here and the weather in the Midwest has started to get pretty chilly at night.  It's time to pull out your favorite afghan or start working on a new one.  Today's Mosaic Monday is a little fall afghan inspiration from my Grandma Harvey's collection that I mentioned last week here.  I love the warm colors and neat textures.  Enjoy!

Ode to Candy Corn



Oh, how I love candy corn!
It brings a smile to my face.
Each Fall it arrives and has a special place.
Oh, how I love candy corn!

I have eaten my fair share of candy corn already this fall season. I snatched up my first bag right when they went on the shelf at my local grocery store. It just doesn't quite feel like fall without a little candy corn. So, in honor of my favorite fall candy I would like to share this round-up of candy corn themed pictures and ideas that I have collected. Enjoy!
