Good ol' fall with its good ol' food! Not just candy, but a whole harvest of apples, pumpkins, and other treats! I'm so thankful we have all sorts of food to enjoy, even if I am a rather picky eater.The poll I had up this week was just to give you a "taste" of what was to come. For those of you who are curious about the final results of the poll, here they are:
- Roasted pumpkin seeds (2--16%)
- Caramel apples (5--41%)
- Candy Corn (2--16%)
- Pumpkin pie (3--25%)
Anyway, I'm excited to announce an exciting fall giveaway today! Last spring I gave away a Walmart gift card during "Food Week," with extra entries given for those who shared recipes. It was so fun to do a sort of recipe exchange then, and I think it would be great now to do a fall-themed recipe exchange (especially now that I have more followers, which hopefully means more recipes!).
This time there will be two winners!!! The giveaway is for Love Finds You in Victory Heights, Washington or The Vigilante's Bride. Both are my gently used copies of the books. Click HERE to read my review of the former, and click HERE to read my review of the latter.
Here are the rules for the giveaway:
- You must leave a comment which includes your e-mail address and a fall recipe.
- You must have a U.S. or Canadian mailing address.
- Also, please let me know which book you want to win! (Pick only one, please!)
- The giveaway will be open though Wednesday, October 20. Winners will be announced on Thursday, October 21.
Help yourself to some of my store-bought candy corn as you search for a recipe. ;)
P.S. I have a plentiful TBR stack, so in order to cut back I'll offer my copy of Out on a Limb by Rachelle McCalla (a "Love Inspired Suspense" book) to the first person who can correctly guess what my vote would have been on this week's poll!
(Just to clarify, it's really hard to keep the "Love Inspired" books in pristine condition, so even though I didn't even read that much of the book, it's not in perfect condition anymore. I blame it mostly on those silly price stickers that don't want to come off nice and neat! But hey, it's a free book, right?) ;)
So don't wait any longer--dig into the giveaway feast!

Hmmm... a fall recipe? Well, my mom always makes apple crisp during the fall, which is one of our favorite side dishes to have with dinner. All you need is sliced apples, cinnamon, sugar, some flour, and oats to go on the top. I can't remember how much of any of them, but I think you can pretty much wing it. Cook until golden brown, and enjoy!
Thanks for the wonderful giveaway, Amber! Please sign me up for LFY in Victory Heights, Washington. Thanks!

I have a ton of pie recipes at my blog but my favorite is fudge pie:
1 stick melted butter
¼ cup cocoa
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
¼ cup flour
1 teaspoon vanilla
Mix all in a bowl and pour into pie shell. Bake at 350 degrees. Check after 30 minutes. Pull out when the middle of pie is set.
Yumminess! I'd love Tricia's book.

Butterscotch haystacks! :D I'm not sure how exactly to make them, but you melt butterscotch chips and coat those chinese crunchy sticks with them. So good!
I would like LFY in Victory Heights, WA.
My guess for your vote would be pumpkin seeds.

How fun! I love recipes. This is one of my favorite fall recipes...I'm slightly obsessed with it. I've eaten it almost daily on a piece of toast with some peanut butter. :)
Pumpkin Butter
Ingredients
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 cup water
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon clove
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 1/2 cups canned pumpkin (NOT pumpkin pie filling mix)
Combine everything except the canned pumpkin in a microwaveable one quart bowl. Mix well.
Microwave on high for 3 minutes, then stir.
Mix in the pumpkin well, and microwave on high 5 minutes longer. It should be bubbly.
Put into airtight container, let cool slightly, then refrigerate.
This will keep several weeks in refrigerator or can be frozen for longer storage.
I'd love to read a Vigalante's Bride.

Hmm, what you would have voted for? I am going to say Roasted Pumpkin seeds? You seem pretty health conscience. :)
My favorite fall food is probably Pecan Pie. Hang on, let me go get the recipe....
OK, I'm back. This pie is SOOOO good! We actually found it online, since it has no corn syrup, so better for you! :)
Ingredients:
1 c. pecans
1 3/4 c. brown sugar
1/4 c. flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup of milk
1/2 tsp of vanilla
3 eggs
1/2 cup of butter melted
Make your favorite pie crust and put in pie plate. Preheat to 325 and put the pecans in the crust bottom. Blend together other ingredients, slowing adding melted butter and pour over pecans. Back at 350 (this is NOT a typo :) for about an hour and fifteen minutes until pie looks puffy and set around edges and isn't overly jiggly.
Yum, yum, yum! Don't eat it all in one day!
And please don't enter me, I already own both of those books. Happy Fall!! :)
Please enter me for LFY Victory Heights, Washington, as I love WWII books.
My recipe with be my hubby's Apple Pie:
Pie crust to your liking (two)
4 cups Harelson apples, frozen/sliced/thawed
1 cup sugar
2 tblp. flour
1/8 tsp cinnamon, or more to taste
Bake at 375 for 55 minutes. The best!

Good morning, everyone! :D Thank you all so much for your participation!
I'll plan on commenting more later, but I just had two things to say:

2. Haha, Casey, I am definitely NOT health conscience (as much as I should be, anyway!)--but I'm flattered you would think so! ;) I have a lot to work on as far as eating healthier...I just love sweets so much! And oh, chocolate... ;)

Amazing Maple Walnut Cookies

Fall is my favorite season. Nothing better than sitting at home with a good read as the windows rattle from the wind! With fall comes many great foods. Pumpkin bread or pumpkin rolls are the best... but since those are probably already described above, I'll opt for something else... OREO BALLS! These are not technically a 'fall' food, but I tend to think of it as a sweet in the colder seasons of fall/winter. I cannot begin to tell you how popular these are or how easy they are to make. All you need is...
-1 package normal oreos
-1 8 oz. package of cream cheese
-white chocolate
First you blend the oreos a couple at a time in a blender. When finished put oreo crumbs in bowl and mix in the cream cheese. After well mixed, form into little balls and stick on a cookie sheet with wax paper-put them in fridge for awhile(maybe 2 hours?). Take them out then and dip them in melted white chocolate(do it fast though, cause they start to stick and stuff). When finished put them right back in the fridge. They should be ready to eat in no time!
Thank you for the chance to win one of your books! They both look really great, but I think 'Vigilante's Bride' would be my first choice :).

I love all the fall recipes but I think since most people mentioned apple recipes I will mention a sweet potato recipe my family makes a lot.
Sweet Potato Casserole
3 Cups mashed sweet potatoes
1 Cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1/3 stick butter
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla
Mix all these ingredients together until well mixed. pour into a greased baking dish.
Top with the following items mixed together.
1Cup light brown sugar
1Cup chopped pecans
1/3 Cup flour
1/3 stick melted butter
Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 min. or until bubbly and brown
JEN: Thank you for stopping by, and thanks for sharing a different kind of recipe, as well. Not that we don't love apples, though! ;)
In regards to sweet potatoes, have you ever had sweet potato fries before? Mmmmm...
~Amber
jenmmcclure's (recipe above) is like my Sweet Potato Casserole but I add 1/2 (or more) of finely grated coconut to topping and some eaters think it taste like pecan pie.
I do a lot of baking during holidays and this is a favorite.
Mississippi Mud Cake
2 Cups Sugar, 1 Cup Butter, 1/3 Cup Cocoa, 1 1/2 Cup flour(plain), 1/2 cup milk, 4 eggs, 3 tsp. vanilla, 1/4 tsp salt, 1 cup (or more) chopped pecans. (we southerners love pecans).
Cream sugar, butter and cocoa together. Add vanilla, flour, salt, eggs and milk, Beat well. Add pecans and Bake in 9X12 pan for 45 mins at 350 degrees. (ck if done with toothpick in center of cake)
While cake is still hot, cover completely with miniature marshmallows. If they don't melt enough, sit in oven for 2-3 mins.
Icing
1 Cup melted butter or margarine, 1 box confectioners sugar, 1 tsp vanilla, 1/3 cup sweet milk, 1/3 cup cocoa, 1/2 cup(or more) pecans chopped.
Melt butter in boiler, add confectioners sugar, milk, cocoa and vanilla. Stir well add pecans and pour over cake. Let set about an hour before cutting. This is so good but so sweet you should cut in small pcs. or someone could get sick. lol The icing is like fudge.
I also bake Red Velvet Cake with filling and icing, Coconut cake with finely chopped pecans in batter, toll house cookies with pecans and chopped candied cherries or coconut, wedding cookies, tea cakes. I do go crazy baking during holidays.
I would love to win Love Finds You in Victory Heights, Washington. I love stories from WWI and II.
Like this blog and am now following.
