Recipes to Warm You Up this Fall

Fall weather is definitely here.  I refuse to turn the heat on.  I'm just not ready for it yet.  I have been using my fireplace, however.....I LOVE my fireplace.  As I sit here typing this, I have a beautiful fire going.  This got me thinking.....what are my favorite "Fall" recipes?

Chicken with Apples and Onions

Such a simple, yet delicious recipe.  It's naturally gluten-free and is a cheap, healthy dinner!

White Chicken Chili

This is THE most AMAZING recipe....but not quite as healthy.  But hey, it's ok to have every once in a while.  It's not going to kill you to have a little extra cheese in your diet for a day or two! Everything in moderation, right?!  Right! Your family will LOVE this!

Hope's Pot Roast

Not a good picture....sorry about that!  (It's from my beginning days as a food blogger!) Picture aside, this is an AMAZING pot roast.  It's easy to throw together and will fill you up with goodness!  The cabbage is the secret ingredients, I tell ya!

Better than Lasagna Soup

This soup is sensationally good!  Don't let the longish list of ingredients detour you!  It's worth every single one of those ingredients and will definitely warm you up this fall!

Here are 5 more recipes from my new bloggie friend Shay of Mix and Match Mamma.

Shay is the mom of two kiddos (with one adopted daughter on the way!) who loves to spend time eating dinner with her family each night without spending a lot of time in the kitchen preparing it.  Her method?  Mixing and Matching!  You don't need to learn a lot of recipes, you just need to learn how to mix and match a few staple methods and transform them into different meals your family will always love.  Always seasonal, always festive, always delicious and always simple.  Dinner is about spending time with the ones you love, not spending time slaving away over the stove.

What is your favorite Fall Comfort food?

Meet blogger, Heidi from Parties for Pennies!

BlogHer13 brought me many things, but the best by far was a friendship with Heidi of Parties for Pennies!  Heidi is so incredibly sweet, but it turns out, she's also gluten-free.  We actually met the first morning of the conference in the elevator on the way down to hop on the shuttle to McCormick Place.  We were both newbies and were heading to the newbie breakfast.  We started talking food (of course, you know me!) and came to find out we were both going to be looking for the gluten-free options during the conference.  A match made in heaven!

Heidi is the beautiful mastermind behind the blog, Parties for Pennies (www.partiesforpennies.com) where she teaches you how to throw a champagne part on a beer budget!  She has some awesome ideas, so please head on over to her blog and check her out!  You won't be disappointed!  In fact, she recorded a cute little video for you to introduce herself!  Enjoy!  She'll make you smile!

Buffalo Chicken Sliders - Guest Post from The Country Cook

I have another recipe fro you from Brandie at TheCountryCook.net.  How do Buffalo Chicken Sliders sound?!  Amazing, right?!  If you're gluten free, just grab yourself some gluten free buns or rolls. These would still be equally delicious.
