🍁 10 Easy Recipes to Celebrate the Tastes of Autumn


Hi, Reader,

I hope I don't overwhelm you with all the Fall love I'm dumping out! But it really is a magical season, and my first Autumn in Vermont so that's even more special.

I usually send 10 recipes with a theme, but today I'm sending some of the Fall recipe collections I've been making lately - that's how much I adore this season!

You'll find lots of pumpkin and apple recipes, plus good crockpot recipes for this season, and even a meal plan for cooler months.

Speaking of crockpots, have you joined my Crocktober event where I'm sharing 31 days of new crockpot dinner recipes? I'd love for you to join me here!
