Hi guys and welcome back to my blog! I’m sorry it’s been such a long time; I’ve been kinda busy lately. No promises, but I might write two blog posts this weekend! Anyway I can’t wait to get into this blog post, which is...Fall Food Recipes! I recently did a fall drinks recipe and I guess you can just call this a part two.
With Thanksgiving just around the corner, (happy thanksgiving break, by the way!) many are hitting the kitchen to prepare the delicious feast. I know I can’t wait for the buttered rolls and mashed potatoes...comment below what your favorite Thanksgiving food is! In addition, lots of people are also busting out the Christmas music (guilty) and decorations! Which is why this will officially be my last fall post for the year before, wait for it, Blogmas! Like Blogtober, you’ve probably heard of Blogmas before (or at least Vlogmas) and I thought it would be really fun to write some festively themed posts for the holiday season.
With that being said, here are some delicious and easy fall recipes to try at home!
*Note- most of these are desserts because why not.

Preheat oven to 350 and line muffin tins with paper or cooking spray
In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda and salt
In a large bowl beat together the oil, sugars, eggs & vanilla extract until no lumps remain (about 1-2 minutes)
Mix in pumpkin
With the mixer on low speed mix in the flour mixture about 1/2 at a time alternating with 1/2 of the milk
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin pan, filling each about 2/3 full
Bake in the center rack of your oven for 16-19 minutes, or until the tops feel slightly firm to the touch and an inserted toothpick comes out clean

Add in the cinnamon & vanilla extract
Beat in the powdered sugar about 1 cup at a time, starting with the mixer on low speed. If the frosting seems too thick, beat in the whipping cream 1 tablespoon at a time
Frost the cooled cupcakes using a flat knife or piping bag.
