These Apple Cinnamon Streusel Muffins are a quick and easy muffin recipe, made with Greek yogurt and tender apples, perfect for school lunches or weekend treats. The buttery crumb topping adds just the right amount of sweetness, making these a family favorite! When I asked my guys what they wanted for this Muffin Monday my son requested cinnamon and my husband wanted apple.  I searched the Taste of Home site and found Michelle O's Apple Cinnamon Streusel Muffins. 

Sweet Potato Black Bean Chili is an easy chili recipe that combines tender sweet potatoes, black beans, seasoned tomatoes, and spices for a bowl of chili that is both satisfying and full of flavor.

I'm in full on comfort food mode now that the temps have dropped. Soup, chili and stew are being added back to the menu and I'm excited to give some new sides a try.  

I picked up some beautiful delicata squash at a local farm and I knew that I wanted to roast and stuff it. I started out by trimming the ends off the squash which gives it a nice flat base.  I sliced them in half longways and removed the seeds.

Fall isn’t complete without the sweet, spicy aroma of freshly baked apple cider donuts. These soft, tender donuts are infused with rich cider flavor and coated in a perfectly spiced sugar mixture, bringing the orchard right into your kitchen.

These Pumpkin Spice Coffee Shakes blend pumpkin, coffee, and vanilla ice cream into a smooth, spiced drink that is full of fall flavor. Enjoy it for breakfast, an afternoon boost, or a simple dessert.

If there's one thing that's always a hit around here it's something that contains chocolate chips. Since I am signed up for the Taste of Home Bakeable newsletter I got an early heads up that the challenge for October was going to  be Chocolate Chip Blondies.
