Sweet and savory appetizers for the season

THERE’S SOMETHING SPECIAL about the first crisp days of fall. The mornings are a little cooler, the leaves begin to change and we all start thinking about gathering around the table with family and friends for the upcoming holidays. 

To welcome the season ahead, I’m sharing two easy appetizers that are guaranteed crowd-pleasers, one sweet and one savory. Whether you’re cheering on the Wildcats with friends, enjoying the pumpkin patches with your littles or having a cozy evening on the porch, these simple recipes are made for slowing down, sharing and savoring the very best of fall.
