Autumn is here and winter is just around the corner, so I put together a cozy roundup of fall and Halloween recipes from CM. These picks celebrate all the seasonal favorites—pumpkins, apples, comforting savory dishes and playful Halloween treats. After blogging for more than five years, I’ve collected a lot of recipes, and this list highlights many of my favorites and some fun throwbacks. If you need last-minute ideas for the weekend before Halloween, you’ll find plenty of inspiration here. While looking back I noticed how much my photography has evolved—some images make me laugh, others make me proud, and every recipe brings back a memory.
To make browsing easier, recipes are grouped by theme: apples, pumpkin, savory dishes, and Halloween treats. Start with apples, move on to pumpkin, then check the savory options, and finish with festive Halloween sweets.
