When September comes around, it seems like we launch straight into all things fall. You’ll see signs for apple picking, stores decked out with pumpkins, and people starting to pull out their sweater stashes. There’s something so cozy and welcoming about this time of year, even though it means colder temps in most of the country.

It could be snowing outside, and I’d still eat ice cream. Ice cream is one of my favorite desserts and I’d take it over cake or pastries any day of the week. I typically will go for a cookies and cream or mint chip but during the fall months I enjoy tasty flavors like pumpkin pie, apple crisp and even cinnamon. There are a lot of different combinations that you can try by adding a few toppings to store-bought ice cream or making your own ice cream at home! Start by making my delicious Pumpkin Spice Caramel Pecan ice cream or any of the other 5 fall-inspired ice cream flavors from below!

If your family is crazy about dill pickles like my family is, you are going to LOVE this easy soup recipe. Dill Pickle Soup may sound weird, but trust me, it totally works. I wasn’t sure at first either about it, but then I had my first bite and there was no looking back. Even the kids liked it, which says a lot in my home of picky eaters!
