Hello All!! My name is Klanci and I am looking for favorite fall foods. My favorite fall foods usually are made in a crockpot and I would love to hear and exchange favorite recipes. Does anyone else want to share their favorite fall crockpot recipes?

    I love fall and all cold weather foods.

    My favorite would be apple cider donuts.

    One of my favorite recipes is this chili. I brown the hamburger first and then put everything into the crockpot for 6-8 hours. I think the longer it cooks the better it tastes.

    Thank you so much!! I am still trying to figure out how to follow these groups.

    I also love the imput from everyone else. Here is one of my favorite snacks for fall and all the fall parties (like halloween):

    Pumpkin Pie Dip

    8 ounce block of cream cheese, softened (I used reduced fat)
    1 cup pumpkin purée (canned)
    1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
    1 teaspoon vanilla
    3 cups powdered sugar

    1. Using an electric mixer, blend together cream cheese, pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice and vanilla until smooth.
    2. One cup at a time, add in powdered sugar and blend until smooth, scraping down sides of the bowl with a rubber scraper.
    3. Store in refrigerator and serve with animal crackers, graham crackers, gingersnaps or sliced apples. I garnished mine with a little extra pumpkin pie spice, which is optional.

    Candy Corn....and Roasted Marshmallows. Sunday Football Pizza
    I've seen lots of Pizza toppings offered but none quite so unique as Candy Corn, Roasted Marshmallows and I'm assuming some veggies for tun on your Sunday Football Pizza... Is the Candy corn in the crust like the cheese at Pizza Hut or is that the marshmallows?

    Just curious..

    I posted this in the recipe section:

    Pot Roast with Mushrooms and Wine


    Ingredients:

    4 lbs of Beef Pot Roast
    3 Large Onions
    24 oz of Baby Bella Mushrooms
    15 oz of Organic Baby Carrots
    6 Stalks of Celery
    3 cups of Cabernet Sauvignon Wine (Used some Almaden Wine in a box)
    20 oz of Organic Peas
    1 tbs of Organic Coconut Oil
    Aloha Bay - Himalayan Crystal Salt (Pink), 1 tsp
    Generic - Ground Black Pepper , 2 g, 1 tsp
    Fresh Finds - Garlic Powder, 1 tsp

    Prep:

    Onions: Peel & chunk onions into 1/2's and then each half into 1/4's
    Mushrooms: Sliced about 1/4 thick
    Baby Carrots: Left Whole
    Celery: Sliced into 1/2 pieces
    Pot Roast: Season each side with salt, pepper and garlic powder

    * You will need about a 6 quart pot or dutch oven

    Directions:

    - Place Dutch Oven or large pot over medium high heat and put in the tbs of Coconut Oil. Allow oil to fully melt until it appears or smells HOT

    - Place entire pot roast into dutch oven to brown for 3 minutes and then flip and brown the opposite side for 4 minutes while reducing the heat to medium low

    - Add onions, mushrooms, celery and carrots on top of pot roast

    - Slowly pour wine over vegetables, cover and let simmer for 3 hours

    - (Optional) Uncover and using tongs begin to pull the roast apart. By now the roast should easily come apart into extremely tender pieces.

    - At 3-1/2 Hours Add Peas and check beef for desired saltiness (add salt if needed).

    - Uncover and reduce heat to low for 30 minutes for a more suitable serving temperature.
