The temperature is cooling down, the colour of the leaves is changing; it’s that time of the year – Autumn!
Although autumn is shorter compared to other seasons, there are still many ways to enjoy and embrace the season. Today, I would like to share some things you can try making this autumn.
Cinnamon rolls
Not only do they look so cute, but they are also very tasty, especially if you have a sweet tooth. Key ingredients are cinnamon, cream cheese, and sugar. Next time, when you feel like having something sweet, consider baking these and watching an autumn-themed film!
pumpkin bread
A classic, easy-baking autumn food. The recipe is very similar to banana bread, so if you’re new to cooking/baking, try this out! Having a pumpkin bread for an afternoon snack, or even for breakfast to start off your day. Key ingredients are pumpkin puree, pumpkin spice, and sugar. You can also add chocolate chips, raisins or nuts to make it more elevated.
pumpkin pasta
Autumn food doesn’t always have to be sweet! The creamy pumpkin texture pairs exceptionally well with pasta. There are many ways to make pumpkin pasta, but my favourite way is to mix the pumpkin puree with tomato sauce, milk, nuts, and any kind of vegetables. You can mix it with cheese to make it taste like mac and cheese, or you can even add minced meat to make it taste like bolognese. Why not make this for a fancy dinner, either solo or with your loved ones?
apple pie
Classic, yet a must-bake food for the autumn season. Of course, you can make a traditional whole-size pie, but you can also attempt baking mini apple pies to share some with your friends, or bring to school, or even combine them with cookies and make apple pie cookies! Adding pecan nuts, icing, or whipped cream can also be a nice touch. Apple pie with a coffee, sitting on your couch and relaxing… what more can you ask??
Today, I shared my personal favourite 4 autumn food ideas. There are many more recipes to try using various autumn foods, so be sure to check them out! The autumn season can be particularly tough, especially for university students, as it coincides with the middle of the autumn semester. However, when you have the time, make one of these to treat yourself and enjoy the season because we all deserve it!
