Pumpkin Spice Latte
Whether or not you get your pumpkin spiced latte in a towering green-printed cup, you know that the return of such offerings from baristas around the nation can only mean the return of fall. Hooray!
Caramel Apples
With the ratio of fruit to candy being so high in the caramel apple equation, we can almost convince ourselves it's a health food. Pass us another, plzthx!
Pumpkin Beer
Did you know that a battle is raging among pumpkin beer fans and its haters? It's true. But we fall squarely on the fan side of the fall staple. Don't hate, congratulate!
Stuffing
So aptly named, isn't it? We know it's time for a killer SoulCycle workout after we indulge in a plateful of stuffing (or two, or three), but it's well worth it for this essential fall nom!
Candy Corns
The trick with candy corns is to eat just enough that they still taste amazing, and not so many that you feel hopelessly sick to your stomach. It's a very fine line.
Pumpkin Pie
Hello, duh. Pumpkin pie is the definitive dessert of the season! Saving room for it always seems to be the tricky part.
Mashed Sweet Potatoes
Give us a plate piled high with buttery mashed sweet potatoes, and we promise we'll repent tomorrow at the gym! (Or at least in time for next bikini season—but we figure we've got plenty of time...)
Spiced Apple Cider and Mulled Wine
Whether or not you choose to add booze to your spiced apple cider is none of our business. (But we do recommend!)
Cranberry Sauce
Just the color of cranberry sauce alone inspires such a cozy fall feeling. We pretty much want to put it on everything this season.
Latkes
Surprised you, didn't we? Well, did you know that, because of a weird quirk in the calendar, this year Hanukkah and Thanksgiving overlap for the first time since 1888 (and it won't happen again for 78,000 years)? That means you might want to add some latkes to the mix at your quintessentially fall table!
