18 Apple and Pumpkin Recipes To Try This Fall
|
When the thermometer dips down into the 50s, that's my signal. From then on, it's pumpkin spice and apples in just about everything I make. So I pulled together a few of my favorites to get your fall weekend started. From Pumpkin Dump Cake to Skillet Fried Apples: 18 Fall TreatsThere's a little bit of everything in this one. Spiced pumpkin dump cake, no-bake pumpkin pie, apple cobbler made with cake mix, and Southern skillet-fried apples. There are a couple of fall drinks in there too, like an iced pumpkin latte and a sparkling apple cider mocktail. Several of them start with a box of cake mix, so there's no need to fuss. Pick one for Saturday morning and one for when friends stop by.
Pumpkin Candles You Can Turn On From Across the RoomThese terracotta pumpkin candles are flameless, but the LED flame flickers like the real thing. They come with a remote, so you can switch them on without getting up. No matches, no melted wax, and nothing to worry about with little ones running around.
So tell me, are you team pumpkin or team apple when the weather turns cool? Hit reply and let me know. Gina

Brown the sausage, stir in a little flour, then simmer whole milk with onion powder, black pepper, and a touch of red pepper flakes until it's...

When my kids were young, I was a stay-at-home mom watching every dollar in the grocery budget. One trick saved me over and over: start with a box of pasta. It's cheap, it stretches a meal, and my kids never once complained about pasta night. That same trick still works in my kitchen today, so I pulled together a whole collection of pasta dinners built the same way. Budget-Friendly Pasta Dinners That Make Weeknights Easier This collection is packed with rich sauces and family favorites, like...
