31 Recipes to Cook in October.

Today, I’m sharing my favorite 31 Recipes to Cook in October. This collection pulls from my favorite recipes shared in the month of October over the past 11 – going on 12 years. Crazy that it will be 12 years on October 12th (here is our very first recipe!). There are so many great October favorites here! A fun mix of our spookiest drinks and frightful sweets, game-day snacks, appetizers, quick dinners, warm bowls of soup, crockpot meals, and plenty of pumpkin and apple recipes! We’ve got a recipe to make each day this month, plus a few extras!

It’s officially spooky season, one of my favorite months of the year! I always have the most fun with our October recipes. Gathering recipes I’ve shared throughout the years is actually really fun!!

As we head further into fall and the holiday season, I love to share the most special recipes. I think the collection below really demonstrates that. To kick things off, I have a whole bunch of overly cute “spooky” cocktails and mocktails for everyone to enjoy. And the snacks and appetizers for game day are just scrumptious!

We then move on to the main dishes: cozy crockpot recipes, pasta, and big harvest-style salads!

And then there are the desserts! There’s a great mix of pumpkin, apple, and chocolate recipes. Some are magical and “haunted,” while others are great to continue baking into November!

There are so many goodies to share! I would love to know your favorites! Currently, I’m loving last year’s pumpkin latte cookies and apple cider braised pot roast. Delicious!

Lastly, please let me know what recipes you would be most excited to see this coming October. I have my own ideas, but I always love to hear from you all! One specific question I have: Do you like my spooky themes? Or is it better to simply share a great fall drink recipe? Please let me know your thoughts!

Hope you enjoy all these yummy October recipes! More to come this month!! Have a frightastic October – Boo!
