A pumpkin here, pumpkin there, pumpkin everywhere! The cozy season is here, and with it, the foods that always bring comfort. Tell us — what’s better than having a hot chocolate on a rainy day? Or a slice of warm apple pie for breakfast on cold autumn mornings? We think there’s nothing like it!

We’re not sure why these foods bring so much comfort, but it doesn’t matter because we’re not here to think! We’re here to share the comforting food with you, dear reader, because we want you to feel the joys of autumn too. If you haven’t been making these recipes already, that is. Let’s get straight to cooking!

 

1.  Sausage Stuffing

Autumn is perfect for warm and hearty meals, and this one is about to be your new favorite. It’s very easy to make, and you won’t need a lot of ingredients. Also, if you ever wish to make this recipe again but don’t have all the ingredients - you can easily replace them with anything you have in your kitchen or pantry. And if you thought the new McDonald’s Halloween Pumpkin Happy Meal would make you happy, wait until you try this recipe.

Here’s what you’ll need:

• 2 baguettes
• 7 tbsp butter
• 4 celery sticks
• 2 garlic cloves
• 2 tsp fresh thyme leaves and rosemary (each)
• 1 tbsp chopped sage
• 2 tbsp chopped parsley
• 1 lb sausage, no casing
• ½ can dried cranberries
• 1 ½ cans chicken broth

Instructions

For this delicious recipe, you’ll need a baking dish, a large skillet, and a large mixing bowl. Yes, that really is it. Follow along for the best sausage stuffing recipe ever:

1. Slice bread into cubes or tear it apart for a more rustic look and feel. Let it dry overnight or bake in the oven for 20 minutes at 200℉.
2. Preheat the oven to 350℉ and prep your large baking dish by buttering it.
3. Set your skillet over medium heat, melt 3 tbsp of butter, add celery and cook until soft. Stir garlic and the herbs (except parsley) in and cook for another minute.
4. Season with salt, pepper, and any other seasonings you like, then stir the other 3 tbsp of butter in, along with parsley. Remove the skillet from heat and toss your herbs and veggies together with bread in a large bowl.
5. Turn the heat up to medium-high, and cook sausage in the same skillet for 10 minutes.
6. Add sausage, chicken broth, and cranberries to the bread and veggies mixture.

Pro tip: This is a great time to spice things up and add a dash of the Honey Aleppo Holic sauce.

1. Transfer your mixture to the baking dish and cover it with foil. Bake for 45 minutes with the foil on and another 15 without it. Garnish with fresh herbs, and enjoy!

 

2. Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

Whew, that recipe really spiced things up in the kitchen, but we’re not done just yet. We’re sure you’re feeling stuffed after a meal like that, but there’s always room for dessert. And that’s especially true if we’re talking about our pumpkin chocolate chip muffin recipe!

Sounds delicious already? Because it is! We won’t keep you waiting, so here’s the list of ingredients:

• 2 large eggs
• ¼ cup vegetable oil
• ¾ cup white sugar
• ¾ cup canned pumpkin
• ¼ cup water
• 1 ½ cups AP (all-purpose) flour
• ¾ tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp ground cinnamon
• ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
• ¼ tsp ground cloves
• ¼ tsp salt
• ½ cup Semi-Sweet Mini Chocolate Chips

Instructions

Can you make this recipe with the tools you have at home? Of course! All you’ll need is a muffin pan, two medium bowls, and a whisk or an electric mixer. Here are the steps:

1. Preheat the oven to 400℉, and put paper liners in your muffin pan.
2. Whisk oil, sugar, and eggs together in one bowl until combined. Add pumpkin and water, and continue mixing until they come together.
3. In another bowl, mix the dry ingredients — flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
4. Add wet ingredients to the dry and stir to combine. Be careful not to overmix because we want our muffins to be nice and fluffy. Stir in the chocolate chips.
5. Fill muffin cups with batter, but only ⅔ full. You want to leave some room for them to rise. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until the toothpick comes out clean.
6. Serve with a warm glass of milk, and enjoy!
