I’m currently perfecting a pumpkin hot chocolate recipe for you. I made it too sweet…and now I think it should have alcohol in it. In the meantime, I want to share with you 10 Autumn Drink Recipes from the Shutterbean archives! They’re all perfect for this time of year. CHEERS!

Pumpkin Bourbon Milkshakes – a delicious marriage of ice cream, bourbon & pumpkin.

Cranberry Rosemary Spritzers– did someone say spritzers?! These are sweet/tangy and herbaceous.

Carrot Ginger Elixir – for a refreshing drink that gives you a health boost, try this elixir.

Maple Bourbon Cider– one of my go-to drinks this time of year. The combination is everything.

Clove Scented Sidecar– for special nights, make these!

Hot Vanilla Cider– with or without alcohol…delicious either way!

Hot Gin Toddy– I figured out how to make a toddy with gin. You’re welcome.

Orange Ginger Toddy– Shake up your toddy game with this orange ginger number.

Broccoli Cheddar Rolls

Here’s an easy recipe for you today because it’s MONDAY!!!!!! Also, another recipe where you can buy everything at Trader Joe’s on your lunch break/way home from work. Grab yourself a chocolate hazelnut bar over in the impulse buy section near the register. It’s bright orange. I can’t leave the store without one…

Broccoli, cheddar, red pepper flakes, and garlic are all rolled up together in pizza dough. We bake in the oven and we try our hardest not to eat the whole batch.

We also make sure no one else sees the crispy cheesy edge pieces because we’re going to sneak them into our mouths when no one is looking. Your secret is safe with me.

Persimmon Grape Pomegranate Salad

To satisfy the crunchy snack I was craving, I made this Persimmon Grape Pomegranate Salad yesterday. It was definitely not chips, but still really satisfying. I squeezed a little bit of fresh lime on top of all the cut fruits and enjoyed this immensely. This might be my go-to snack this Autumn because all three of the fruits are currently in season. YAY.

Roasted Delicata Squash Kale Pizza

When I made the pork enchilada casserole last week, a few of you responded that you’d love to see more Everyday Eats on Shutterbean. Thank you for your feedback! And thank you for leaving comments. Sometimes it feels a little lonely out here. If you like recipes that can be made with Trader Joe’s items, this one’s for you!

Yesterday I walked into Trader Joe’s with a mission to make something Autumn like. I knew I wanted to use their pizza dough…and then I saw a delicata squash and the sausage in my cart and here we have this pizza. There was obviously a few steps in between but there’s pizza in the end so does it really matter?

We layer cheese and kale on store bought pizza dough. We top with more cheese, roasted delicata squash, caramelized onions and sausage and dollop goat cheese on top. To push it over the edge, I added candied walnuts on top. Red pepper flakes are added for spice. This Roasted Delicata Squash Kale Pizza is Autumn’s best. Next time I’m added gorgonzola because I think it will be soooooo good with those walnuts!
