My favorite way to cozy up amidst crisp, dropping temps?  Sipping on a little spiced apple cider in my pajamas!  But whether it’s in my pajamas, around our fire pit out back, or at the next dinner party, our Rummy Spiced Cider is a solid way to toast to sweater weather.

I squealed with delight at the new Williams-Sonoma at Ponce when I came across these cinnamon maple spoons…I mean so perfect for spiced apple cider, right?  And with these stemless pumpkin glasses?  Just a big ole taste of fall that I can’t get enough of.

As you may remember, we welcomed my favorite season with our friends at Pottery Barn by taking over their Instagram with a peek at how I welcome Fall.  This year, we’re celebrating the season with a libation (or four) with PB and Diageo, purveyors of some of our favorite booze brands. First up: our Rummy Spiced Cider.

Imagine the vibrant citrus and warm spices all atop the sweet apple, giving the drink its subtle spice and much-needed depth. The cinnamon maple spoons not only compliment the recipe, they offer a fun and festive garnish to the cocktail.  And while I prefer my cider warm, our Rummy Spiced Cider can be served hot or cold…so when you find yourself in the South during our Indian Summer, pour this libation over a little ice and enjoy!  Truly, MKR

P.S. Stay tuned for more October cocktail goodness…gin punch, spiked hot chocolate and a nod to our favorite wizard with a little Boozy Butter Beer! xo

Butternut Squash Salad Poached Pear Salad with Butternut Squash Butternut Squash Salad via Waiting On Martha

With our favorite season, comes a craving for warm, rustic flavors. We knew we could turn to our friends at Homespun to serve up fantastic fare to treat our tastebuds and celebrate this season’s greatest flavors. (Do you remember last year’s glazed sweet potatoes and wintry kale salad?!) 

For quintessential fall, roasted butternut squash always comes to mind for me.  It has that hearty, multi-dimensional effect when added to fresh greens. And while this fall salad serves as a wonderful compliment to other dishes, it can truly hold its own at the table too. It becomes a full-bodied dish as marinated butternut squash and tender, gently simmered poached pear sit atop fresh arugula, frisee and watercress.  And to finish: a sprinkle of lavender honey roasted walnuts, apricots and cranberries.  We promise the few extra steps the poaching and roasting this salad requires will be totally worth every bite.  Cheers, Kat

As you’ll remember, I recently welcomed the season and celebrated a local Georgia flavor with Williams Sonoma and my Creamed Vidalia Onion Bake.  And today I’m reveling in another local flavor, Georga peaches. 

Similar to the vidalia onion bake, this peach tart recipe is incredibly easy to make, and you just can’t beat the mixture of these simple, yet rich flavors.  The sweet peach plays perfectly with the tangy flavor of goat cheese, warm cinnamon, subtle crunch of pistachio and the sticky-sweet honey drizzle on top.  And since I’m big on texture and getting that perfect crispy bite, I take my time when thinly slicing the peaches ensuring the peaches will bake evenly while still maintaining a heavenly-thin crisp crust.

So voila, a oohy-gooey-crispy-peachy treat.  The perfect recipe to reval and enjoy your love of peaches far beyond the summer season.  But be forewarned: these little slices disappear faster than you expect. Enjoy!  Truly, MKR

  7. Crumble goat cheese on the dough and line peaches on top of the cheese in a row.
  8. Bake until crust is golden brown approximately 35-45 minutes. Remove from oven and drizzle with remaining honey. Let cool to room temperature, sprinkle with pistachios and serve.
