One of my favorite little things that happens as fall slowly creeps into our lives, is the increased consumption of certain foods like soups, stews, treats, and specifically apples, pears and pumpkins! Here are some images of apples, pears and pumpkins to get you in the mood for fall.

Apple Cartwheel by Stephanie Berry $275

Pear 5 by Jin Lee $1,010

To be honest, I don’t make big changes to my normal cooking routine in the fall, but adding fruits like apples and pears to my usual favorites like salads, breakfast plates or kids lunches, just makes things feel a bit more festive.

The essence of Tuscany by Fikry Botros $430

Well ok, making pumpkin bread or pumpkin cookies is not quite my normal routine, so you can imagine that taking time to make these yummy treats feels special.

Candy Apples by Lynne Atwood $775

How many of you are fans of the Pumpkin Spice Latte? I’ve never been too nuts about it but I have several friends who go crazy over it. Frankly, I’m more of an eggnog latte fan, and consumption of that beverage will peak later this year!
