Apple cider? Pumpkins? Pulling out the sweaters and hoodies? Walking outside into the crisp air, smelling leaves burning... Whatever thoughts I have about fall all make me smile. There is just something about it when the weather turns from hot to cool and you can curl up with a blanket and a hot drink that just is so happy. Well, for me this is something that calls for a party. So, in between Halloween and Thanksgiving, why not have a fall party? This is what I did last night. This meal is quite filling, so may I suggest taking a small siesta in between courses :) Here are the recipes that I used that all turned out delicious:
Appetizers:
-Best Spinach Dip
-Sauteed Butternut Squash
-Pigs in a blanket (I use the little weenie sausages)
-Spinach Salad with
Apple Cider Vinaigrette and I chopped up some green apples and mixed them in the dressing to keep them from turning brown. I sprinkled
Candied Pecan pieces on top. (Feta cheese would be good too)
Main Course:
-Chili (the one that I already posted about earlier)
-Cornbread
Dessert:
-Pumpkin Gingerbread Trifle and hot apple cider
I made my own whipped cream instead of using cool whip by beating heavy whipping cream with a teaspoon vanilla and a few tablespoons sugar. I also added some pumpkin pie spice to my pumpkin mixture and it was delicious :)
So.... Happy Fall!
