A delicious Creamy and herb filled pumpkin soup. This recipe was given to me from my cousin. Now We make it every year for Halloween and then again for thanksgiving.

In case you need some inspiration for your next spooktacular Halloween party.

This was a classic dessert when I was a child. Rumtopf is a big earthenware pot that is filled with all kinds of fruits over the summer. To conserve the fruit they are mixed with sugar and covered with strong rum. Usually it starts with strawberries and ends with apples and pears somewhere late October, early November. Once all the fruit is added, it needs to mature another 4-8 weeks before it can be served. This made it the perfect Christmas dessert and gift.
This year I made one myself and am very curious how it will turn out.

Halo Halo is a staple desert to my filipino heritage. Though it can be interpreted in many ways it can also be combined with a culmination of sweet treats, just make sure you keep the Ube cream! I'm a current student at CIA and I was beyond excited to create an illustration for this site as well as the general idea of choosing a recipe!

The apple harvest has begun and it is time to make apple strudel again. Every time I make it, I remember watching my mom spreading out the dough really, really thin. If you did it right, the tea towel had to shine through without tearing the dough. Then she‘d brush it with butter and spread apples and cinnamon sugar and finally she rolled it up and placed it on the sheet pan. And then the whole house smelled deliciously...
If you want to make it, slightly sour apples like boscoop are best!

This A-Z was put together for a fun Spoonflower challenge. My daughter actually wrote this list for me, although it took me days to find a good example for X. Coconut is a type of xylocarp : any fruit that has a hard, woody outer layer...thats the best I could do.

My go-to stovetop recipe to make my house smell like Fall! Also makes a beautiful mason jar gift for the holidays!
