In this Post: Everything you need for Apple Pumpkin Spice Muffins

There is just something about Fall that makes me smile. I’m not sure if it’s the bright sunshine mixed with cooler temps, the smell of burning leaves or the sounds of my local marching band pouring through my office window but I am geeked for Fall. My birthday is in October so perhaps I’m a bit biased, but there is a sense of renewal and opportunity that comes with a new school year. A fresh start, like freshly sharpened pencils and a brand new note book.

And let’s be honest, I’m sick of eating zucchini and summer squash. There. I said it. Bring on the apples, squash and beets. I’m ready to turn on the oven again and start making cozy meals. I want to carve a juicy pumpkin and toast the seeds like I did every Fall with my dad on our newspaper-lined driveway. I’m ready for the trick-or-treaters to come by while I’m home enjoying a big pot of turkey chili. Truth be told, I’m quite thrilled to retire the bathing suit for a few months.

Let’s get cozy.

Your oven is waiting.
