Falling Back and a Thanksgiving Round Up

It’s that time of year to fall back, and

when most of us in the US will be turning back our clocks.

It’s also time when my internal clock falls to comfort food. . .

Harvesting, Gathering, and Thanksgiving!

    Delicious fall back images, Mary. Temps dropped to 20’s/30’s overnight, here. Definitely time for cozy comfort foods.

    What a terrific compilation! The photos alone are enough to whet the appetite, but I read almost all of the recipes (not hard, thank you!), and my mouth is watering.

    Mary, I took a quick look as I sip my morning coffee. I’ll be back to link back to these for a complete look. I’m going to make a few of these treats. Yum! It’s in the 50s here this morning. Yipee! Sadie and I are off for a walk shortly to take in the beauty of the morning. Thank you for all the “falling”.

    Hi Mary!!! You are such an inspiration. I am excited to try the Plymouth Popcorn.

  16. November 1, 2014 at 4:37 pm

    Mary, I made your pumpkin, cranberry and pecan bread last year for a potluck and everyone loved it, so I got the ingredients (i can pumpkin purée and measured out the other ingredients in separate zip-lock bags) and put them in small square baskets with a pretty colorful kitchen towel and printed out the instructions and gave them as gifts for our closest friends last Christmas… Lots of Ooohs and Aaaahs received…

    Thank you!

    Amazing recipes, decor items! Oh!!!!! I hope the extra hour is not wasted. Falling temps, but not for long in our neck of the woods.
    I would love to savor a bite of your cranberry, apple, pumpkin bundt cake and all the featured yummy recipes today.

    Great post. Thanks. Enjoy your weekend.

    Just when I thought I would be sad that Halloween is over I read this and can’t wait for the days ahead!! I wanted to make so many of these recipes last year, so much to do so little time! I want to make it all~ maybe I’ll just stop by your house and sit at the stunning lakeside table and enjoy a pumpkin shooter, apple pie bourbon and an pie crust leaf or three :) Thank you so much for the round up Mary, and the kick start to November!
