Pumpkins, hot cider, walnuts.

The only ones coming to my mind right now are pumpkins, apples, cider.

I think of pecans in the fall.....pecan pie, hot spicy roasted pecans, pecans on my cereal, pecans in salads!

Gingerbread is a fall treat for me.

Plus, apples and pumpkin dishes, too.

Pumpkin and apple pies. Chili is football food.

Pumpkin bread!

I always make two loaves for a friend I do business with.

Been doing it for at least 25 years.

Apples, gingerbread, soup (when the first "coolish" weather arrives), luscious red wine (no pun intended), pumpkin, Halloween candy!

caramel apples and turkey

Hot spiced cider, anything pumpkin, of course.

Chinese food (which we enjoy more when the weather is nippy), stew.

And my favorite--spice cake with burnt butter frosting

Caramel apples and soup.

Homemade soups and anything pumpkin. Today a cousin and I went to lunch and decided to have breakfast. I had pumpkin pancakes. They were yummy.

Baked apples, baked squash. But when the temp is 90 in October, I lose interest.

Apple pie (though I don't really like apple pie)
Tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches (which I do love)

I've lived through holidays in the deep south when I turned on the AC so I could roast a turkey, bake pies, lol.

Pork with potatoes and sauerkraut and apple sauce, pumpkin soup, acorn squash, sweet potato spinach salad, radicchio salad, caramel apples, stuff like that!

When I was young, we had several apple trees in our back yard. It was part of my chores to pick up the windfall and put them in bushel baskets. Every Saturday we took them to a local gent who pressed them into fresh cider. You never got your own apples you got what others brought in. We would get the cider in glass gallon jars. I could barely wait to get home to taste the freshly made apple cider. It might have tasted better because I completed my chore.

Sue, I could have written your list!! Also, the apple cider that Monica mentioned, root vegetables like parsnips, beets, and so on, chili, homemade soups, dried beans, tiny new potatoes....

We eat a ton of winter squash in the fall. I love to try every size and shape I can find. The old standby for a squash with seed cavity that you can stand upright is to bake it with butter, salt, and pepper in the middle, but I like to experiment with adding other things.. balsamic vinegar, red chili flakes, brown sugar, garlic.. I've also got where I usually cut the top off the squash and pre-cook it in the microwave for 15-18 minutes before moving it to the oven. They don't take all afternoon that way :-) Pumpkin bars and apple deserts are a MUST every fall. And roasted root vegetables... yummmmm.....

Stew.

I used to watch for the Marshal Field's caramel apples every fall. Long gone.

Mulled cider is served in our house from Thanksgiving, if it is cool enough. through the winter whenever the kids are here.

Soup & apple cider.

Pumpkin pie, pecan pie, apple cider, chili and cornbread, vegetable soup with cornbread or homemade cheese bread. Cooking smores with the grands in the cool of the evening. Love fall.

Braised brisket in mushroom gravy with mashed potatoes (sometimes made with braised leeks).
Mushroon barley soup (chicken or beef, not picky)
Butternut squash soup

Candy.....due to Halloween.

Spiced wafer cookies in the orange box. I always crave them in the fall.
