10 Recipes To Ease The Transition Into Fall

Change is hard. Let food be your guide.

1. Apple Cider Sangria

To replace: plain ol' sangria.

2. Homemade Pumpkin Spice Latte

To replace: Iced coffee. Unless you're from New England, in which case, carry on.

3. Cranberry Barbecue Sauce

To replace: Your everyday, pedestrian barbecue sauce. Combine the two so it's less of a shock to the system.

4. Fennel and Apricot Stuffing

To replace: Bean salads, pasta salads, succotash, the like. Get a little cozier with fall's answer to side salad with notes of summer in the fennel and apricot.

5. Cornbread

To replace: Corn on the cob. Everything is better in bread form.

6. Sweet Roasted Acorn Squash

To replace: Summer squashes. The best part about winter squashes is you can coat them in sugar!

7. Blueberry Crisp

To replace: Peach cobbler. 'Fall' is basically synonymous with 'crisp,' but if you can't part with your summer fruits just yet, get your feet wet with this cobbler combo.

8. Salted Maple Honeycomb Candy

To replace: Salt water taffy. Because ew, why are you eating that in the first place?

9. Honey-Ginger Turkey Kabobs

To replace: Hot dogs and hamburgers. There's no need to abandon the grill just yet, but get ready for turkey season with these sweet kabobs.

10. Gingerbread Ice Cream

To replace: Okay, so you never have to replace ice cream, but at least keep it seasonal with this yumtastic recipe!
