Happy Monday! It has been a while since I last shared my first Pinterest Recipe post with you. So I figured there is no time like the present to share with you what I have been cooking in the kitchen this fall. Since my apple picking adventure in September I have been browsing Pinterest for some great recipes that will use up the apples as well as other fall favorite recipes. Here are the recipes that I have tried out from Pinterest, deemed successes, and have already made their way into my recipe box! Enjoy!
