If you live in a part of the country where the leaves are changing, a scenic drive and picnic would be delightful! I’m envious since leaves don’t really change in Houston, Texas!
Apple picking anyone…it’s a fun fall activity if you live in the right part of the country! Bring home your harvest and make an apple pie!
Roasting marshmallows on a campfire or fire pit is a wonderful way to enjoy the first cool, crisp nights of fall.
Why don’t you enjoy a fall festival? Fall festivals abound this time of the year no matter where you live!
If you haven’t enjoyed any fall traditions this year…it’s time to get started!

Happy Fall Weekend!

Hi! I’m a new baker and I have a doubt. Do you knead and let the dough rise after mixing all the ingredients, or just follow the recipe and it appear here?
I want to make this recipe this week. It sounds delicious!
Pumpkin Bread is considered a “quick bread”, so no kneading or rising is required. Good Luck!
