It's almost that time again!

THE FALL (or Autumn to be less ominous)

Pumpkin Spice carb traps and Maple Syrup deviations from plan will be everywhere.

and UGGs but let's not go there...

I wanted to add a thread where everyone can leave concerns, questions, tips, gripes, recipes, suggestions, observations, etc. about just this one season that seems to rotate around food

How do you plan to make it successfully work in your favor? Share with us!

Leave a complaint and suggestion below...

OMG, I literally just posted about a nasty pumpkin Spice Yogurt I tried today. Anyway, I'm a summertime person, so the beginning of autumn feels like the end of my fun. To top it off I'm in Oregon so it's also the start of the 8 months of clouds/rain/no sun. Comfort food is how I usually get through. I have winter restaurants that are cozy, comfort food places with fireplaces that I only go to in the winter. That food is not going to work for my pouch this winter.

So, I'm thinking of trying to find the coziness without the comfort food. My husband and I love to camp in the fall and winter - everything feels cozy and tastes great when you're bundled up under a canopy in the rain eating things roasted over the campfire and drinking hot beverages - so that will definitely work. But for your average day, I'm going to start mixing in some hiking in the woods for my exercise (we don't mind getting wet in Oregon). I really think that a shower, a hot drink and climbing under a blanket with my kids after a cold, wet hike will be the Ultimate in cozy comfort!

I’m in SW WA! What part of Oregon are you in???

Complaint:

I can't seem to find pumpkin spice sugar free syrups, they know how popular the flavor is, why isn't available sugar free?

Suggestion:

I think I'll dabble with making my own ?

Torani makes a sugar free pumpkin spice. I bought some from their website.

I have quite a few Torani sugar free syrups that I bought from World Market. They taste great!!!

Never did get my pumpkin spice , I think I'll just get the flavored coffee since its Everywhere

But

OMG every horrible baked good ever is out now. Cinnamon and sugar floating through the air.

How is everyone else handling Dante's Inferno?
