Fall Inspired Recipes: A CT Blogger Round-Up

The only dignified way to deal with the loss of summer and its endless farm fresh produce is to focus on the bounty of fall fruit. Apples, pumpkins and squash tend to soften the blow of leaf raking and the dwindling hours of daylight.  

For a little fall recipe inspiration, we turned to a few Connecticut bloggers and asked them to share their favorite fall fruit-filled recipe. The results–cocktails, pies, muffins and breads–will inspire you to retreat into the kitchen, and in some cases mix a drink and toast the change of seasons.

Thank you to all for sharing your recipes and easing us into the fall season!
