Maple-Butter Roasted Chicken

"There is a nice mild maple sweetness and the thyme flavor infused throughout. We loved the maple herb butter. Putting the butter under the skin helps to make the chicken moist and succulent. It helps to make the skin nice and crispy too." - The Kitchen Crew

Chicken Cacciatore

"This is one of my favorite go-to recipes when I cant think of something to make for company." - Kathi

Butternut Squash and Shallots

"Wanted a savory and semi-sweet butternut squash recipe. Shallots add such a savory, yet sweet addition to this delicious side dish. The flavor of the thyme, sage, and rosemary make it special! Really great for a holiday dish and super simple." - Jennifer

Alabama Pecanbread

"Alabama Pecanbread is perfectly rich, moist, and indulgent! They are lick-your-plate, dangerously good!" - Paula

Spiced Whiskey Apple Butter

"This apple butter is warm and spicy and enhanced with the flavor of your favorite whiskey. (Bourbon works just fine, too). Of course, it's great on toast, muffins, and bagels and anywhere else that you would use apple butter. But I have found that I love this recipe so much that I use it as my streusel base for things like cinnamon rolls and cinnamon swirly bread (in place of the butter those recipes call for in the fillings)." - Naomi

Chicken Parmigiana (Parmesan)

"This dish can be made many ways but I find this tastes the best. It is another family favorite. This can be served with any type of pasta and a salad or vegetable. I like to use just buttered noodles as the flavors from the chicken are enough." - Sandra

Maple Mustard Pork Chops

"So easy, you will laugh...So delicious, you will cry." - Lindsay

Perfect Pot Roast

"This pot roast turns out perfectly every time and has lots of gravy. Wonderful fall/winter comfort food!" - Sue

Grandma's Fresh Country Apple Cake

"This is my grandma's fresh apple cake recipe. I have tweaked it but there is very little you can do to country baking perfection. I miss her dearly and this is my way of keeping her around." - Melissa

Chicken Enchilada Stuffed Spaghetti Squash

"Spaghetti squash boats filled with chicken enchilada inspired filling and topped with plenty of melted cheese!" - Kevin

Savory Roasted Butternut Squash & Red Pepper Soup

"I love anything with butternut squash. Since it's finally soup weather I had to make this! It's very hearty, savory, just a tiny bit sweet and makes your whole house smell like fall." - Ashley

Old Fashioned Caramel Pie

"A caramel lover’s dream, Old Fashioned Caramel Pie Recipe is rich and dense. This splurge-worthy dessert is totally worth the effort!" - Paula

Autumn Barm Bread

"I make this for us at home all the time. I use different berries, I like to use currants and Craisins. This time, I used Craisins infused in pomegranate juice with orange zest and Grand Marnier. With all of these flavors infused it was the perfect touch. Of course, we had to try some of it out before we took any over and OMG!! It was to DIE FOR! Thumbs up from mom." - JoSele

Autumn Oatmeal Cookies

"When the the weather starts getting cool and leaves begin to change it’s time for all the yummy baked goods full of the fall spices. These autumn oatmeal cookies ooze everything about this time of year. They are buttery, chewy and full cinnamon, pecans and dried cranberries and are seriously so good. I added a little apple butter and this gave this cookie ever more of a fall feel." - Debbie

Crock Pot Potato Bacon Soup

"This recipe was our make-it-up-as-we-go-along dinner. It is also my first recipe post so bear with me. I had a pile of produce I needed to do something with and my husband had a craving for soup. We're huge fans of potato and garlic, so there's a lot of both in the soup. Since this is a slow cooker soup, there's plenty of time to adjust ingredient quantities to taste." - Amanda

Roasted Cauliflower and Aged White Cheddar Soup

"A creamy white cheddar cauliflower soup with a hint of thyme." - Kevin

Buttermilk Apple Pie Zucchini Bread

"This is *SUCH* a yummy sweet bread. It's jam-packed full of apples and zucchini! What a yummy way to eat your veggies!" - Amanda

Cranberry Pecan Chicken Salad

"Chicken salad is one of those things that is unique to it’s maker and their taste. There are millions of ways to throw together this cool yumminess but this Cranberry Pecan Chicken Salad is at the top of my list of favorites. This salad is slightly elegant if dressed up on a fancy croissant or it can be dressed down on plain white bread." - Debbie
