Are you savoring this magnificent fall season? Here in North Carolina, the trees and foliage are in, what I call, their final glory-dance, showing off in dazzling shades of gold, orange and red before they retreat for a long winter nap. I'm trying to enjoy every moment, knowing these beautiful, cool, crisp days will soon be just a pleasant memory.
The culinary flavors of fall also have me quite smitten right now. In another month they'll give way to holiday and winter ingredients like gingerbread, candy canes and citrus but for now I'm relishing every morsel of autumn. Recently, while perusing our Café archives I came across some .............
............. delightful recipes from years gone by. I'd all but forgotten about these quintessentially fall selections and felt like I was being reacquainted with old friends. I decided to resurrect a few favorites and thought you might like to come along for the ride ..............

Congratulations on this wonderful post! Well deserved indeed with all those gorgeous creations, photos and recipes. You go girl! I love the pumpkin shaped rolls - I just love to look at them over and over. Absolutely my favorite!

That soup has my name written all over it…looks amazingly delicious! I do remember your sweet potato salad, it sounds soooo perfect for this time of the year! Maybe a combo lunch is what I need!
Liz Berg says
I must make your pumpkin pie caramel corn...wow!!! And I'm so bummed we don't get the Parade insert anymore...we get the competition 🙁 So I'm glad you're sharing here!

Wonderful round-up! Everything looks so good, and every dish has such beautiful Fall colors! It's hard to choose a favorite one, but I love soups in the Fall: they are so warm and comforting on cold days! )

What a great article, Chris and congratulations on that! I'll take a bowl of that Tuscan soup ( just for that melting mozarella alone!) and a pumpkin brioche roll on the side! Beautiful recipes...which I've bookmarked and must try this season! : )

Jennifer@ Peanut Butter and Peppers says
Wow Chris everything you made looks amazing! I want to hang out with in the Fall! One thing I miss about living on the east coast is the changing of the leaves. In California we go from hot to cold without the change in leaves. It's kind of sad. If were going to be cold, we should at least be able to look at beautiful foliage.
Denise Browning@From Brazil To You says
All you recipes are fabulous, Chris! This soup looks so comforting...I need a big bowl of it for dinner!
