Favorite Fall Food + Drinks

Even though this year is definitely different than previous ones, we are still practicing hospitality, albeit on a smaller scale. Whether you’re hosting your neighbors for cocktails on the porch or enjoying a relaxing dinner with family, we’ve got you covered.

I try to always keep a few staples on hand for appetizers.  My current favorites are a wedge of espresso cheese, fig spread, grapes, and crackers, all easy to pick up in the deli section of my grocery store.

I also keep frozen puff pastry in my freezer because it’s so versatile–I use it to make everything from chicken pot pie to these delicious pear tarts:

We usually have beer and wine on hand at all times, but if you’re craving something fancier, Moscow Mules are always delicious–and those copper mugs are so festive for fall:

Prosecco and St. Germain (elderflower liqueur) is also a refreshing combination that pairs perfectly with a fire and a good book!

Last but not least, nothing says “fall” to me more than soup, and we have quite a few favorites on rotation at our house.

If you don’t have a great soup pot yet, this is the time of year to buy one! I have several enameled cast iron pots of varying sizes that are perfect for making soup. This Staub one is like mine–white with a brass knob–and it’s on sale.

We have apple trees in our back yard this year, so I might try my hand at making apple sauce. If I do, I’ll let you know how it goes!

Thanks for stopping by.
