Looking for a little recipe inspiration this fall season?We have the ultimate list with more than 125+ incredible recipes that everyone should try. Happy cooking and baking!
Fall is easily my favorite season. Of course I love the beautiful weather, the falling leaves, the pumpkin patches and apple orchards, the excuse to finally break out my long-missed boots and scarves; but most of all: I’m in it for the fall recipes. Seriously. I LOVE to cook (and especially bake), and fall recipes are so darned good. Chock full of ingredients like sweet potatoes, pumpkin, apples, and all of thatcinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice, pumpkin pie spice, star anise; I could go on and on. I wish my house could smell like the sweet spices of apple pie, cider, maple syrup, and pumpkin bread all year long.
Ultimate Fall Recipes List
So today, because I am basically a woman obsessed, I’m sharing the ultimate list of fall recipes everyone should try. We’re talking more than 125+ mouth-watering fall breads, donuts, muffins, dinners, soups, salads, sides, appetizers, pies, bars, cookies, and cakes.
I’ve been pulling together and making these fall recipes for years, including some of my mom’s very popular fall recipes, and the most pinned fall recipes of all time, with some of my favorites here on my Fall Recipes Pinterest Board, and I’m finally sharing them all here in one place. I also have tons of fall recipes on my site – because, duh – so I’m sharing them all here so everyone can easily access them. And, most importantly, I want to know what recipes I should add to this list! Post in the comments your absolute favorite fall recipes so that I can make them and share away!
I divided this list of fall recipes into a few main categories, both sweet and savory:
1 – FallBreads, Donuts, and Muffins
2 – Fall Dinners, Soups, and Salads
3 – Fall Sides and Appetizers
4 – Fall Pies and Bars
5 – Fall Desserts, Cookies, and Cakes
6 – Fall Breakfast and Brunch
Although I love making these fall recipes all season-long, a lot of these recipes are perfect Thanksgiving recipes. I think the turkey recipes in the “Dinners” category, along with all of the sides and appetizers, pies and bars, and desserts, cookies, and cakes, would work perfectly for Thanksgiving. We often cook and bake from this list for Thanksgiving or Friendsgiving, whether we’re hosting or bringing a few dishes along.
