Thanksgiving is without a doubt the biggest holiday centered around food and entertaining. What better way to kick off a day of continuous eating than with a giant charcuterie platter that’s just as beautiful as it is delicious?! Seriously this board could be a meal in and of itself so it’s totally appropriate for a Thanksgiving appetizer when you will be stuffing yourself all day long! This board is full of seasonal ingredients that can be mixed and matched together in so many different ways for countless combinations and delicious bites.

DIY Holiday Simmering Scent
Hate it or love it, the holiday season is officially here for the retail world so I’m diving right in to holiday content. I’ve gotten so many questions about my homemade simmering scents since posting about my fall build-your-own potpourri station, so I decided to share another spin on this with a holiday themed scent! This using many of the same ingredients as the autumn scent. plus some new ones, and looks just as good as it smells! This is a must if you are entertaining and want you home to smell AMAZING for all your guests! It also makes such a cute and easy homemade gift for neighbors, teachers, co-workers, etc.
Sweet + Salty Halloween Snack Board
Today I’m sharing my second Halloween themed board of the season and this one is my favorite because it’s so unconventional and just fun! I couldn’t really call it a cheeseboard because there’s no cheese involved, except cheddar popcorn, so I’m calling this a snack board! The formula for creating this is easy- just gather up all you favorite candy and sweet and salty snacks for Halloween and throw them together on one giant board!
Fun + Festive Halloween Cheeseboard
Halloween is just a week away and every year I love to make as many fun recipes as possible leading up to the holiday! So over the next week, I’m bringing you not one, but two, different takes on festive Halloween snack boards! This board is more along the lines of a traditional cheeseboard with the ingredients although I did make a few unexpected sweet additions! I tried to keep the overall color palette Halloween themed with plenty of pops of orange and lots of dark purple, chocolate, and bits of white. The end product is super bright + playful (not to mention tasty) and so perfect for celebrating Halloween!

Homemade Buttermilk Biscuits with Crockpot Apple Butter + Country Ham
There’s nothing more comforting for fall than homemade apple butter and buttermilk biscuits! Add in some country ham, and this unexpected combination is the perfect mix of sweet and salty and such a good autumn breakfast option, snack, or lunch! The apple butter could not be easier to make as you literally just throw everything in the crockpot and let it do all the work! I really worked with the amounts of sugar and spices to get just the right blend so it’s not overly sweet and you can taste the apple flavor even more. I also used this apple butter on my autumn cheeseboard and it was the perfect compliment to both sharp and milder cheeses. I love this biscuit recipe as well because they are perfectly fluffy, just the right amount of salty, and a little crisp on the edges.
Classic Fall Chili Recipe
I’ve been craving all the comfort foods at this stage in my pregnancy and I’m so excited to start making all my favorite fall recipes. I don’t know how I made it this long without sharing this chili recipe, but it’s one of my favorite dinners for fall and winter. This chili is no fuss and nothing fancy, but so hearty and delicious! My secret is using half ground pork and half ground beef for extra flavor. This chili has just the right amount of spice and seasoning without being too overpowering. You can serve with or without spaghetti and customize with your favorite toppings (I’ve listed mine below).
