The Most Popular Fall Recipes of 2026.

Below, I’m excited to share a collection of my best and most popular fall recipes with you all. After fourteen fall seasons of creating recipes together, this collection is big, and it is GOOD. In this roundup, you’ll find everything from warm lattes and cozy cocktails to easy family dinners, Halloween and Thanksgiving dishes, all the fall salads I’m known for, nourishing soups and chilis, and, of course, all the desserts. Apple blondies, pumpkin cookies, holiday pies, and so much more. There are old favorites you’ve loved for years, along with newer recipes that became instant hits last fall. Enjoy the best season!

Happy first day of fall! Technically, it’s tomorrow, the twenty-second, but today, tomorrow, whatever. It is fall! And it’s feeling like it too. I’m in New York right now, and today is the first day of clouds and sixty-degree temperatures. It’s here, it’s here!

I wish you could see my excitement! This is my eighth year pulling together our most-loved fall recipes into one big list, and I couldn’t be happier to be sharing it with you again today.

I was actually going to share a new recipe today, but when I realized the date, I quickly pivoted. Aside from my Thanksgiving menu and a handful of holiday recipes, this is consistently one of our top ten posts of the year. It goes to show how many of us really do love this time of year. Just like me!

I feel so lucky to be in New York right now with the brightest, happiest fall ahead. I just have this feeling that it’s going to be my best fall yet, and I’m feeling so much gratitude for everything happening right now. What an amazing life I get to live!

Meanwhile, back in Colorado, I’m sure the leaves are glowing shades of yellow and orange, and I can guarantee the air is crisp. I’m not sure when I’ll be heading back, but I’m excited for everything waiting for me when I return.

Right now, I’m burning my first cinnamon-spiced candle of the season, throwing on a few cozy layers, and taking it all in. When I get back into the kitchen, I’m making chili, beer bread, and maybe some apple cookies or pumpkin cookies, depending on how I’m feeling.

It feels like the season has truly arrived.

What are you most excited about this fall? Is there a recipe you make every year? What will you bake? Are you ready for Halloween? Have you started thinking about Thanksgiving? I want to hear it all, you guys. Please share!
