Why diets don't start in the fall
However, this year (oh alright, every year) I am eagerly anticipating the fooooood. Pumpkin-this, buffalo wing-that, toss in some cheesiness, mix with a thick, hearty stew and VOILA - an extra 30 pounds. Blast you food bloggers and your wily ways of making me enjoy the changing of the seasons. If you've been following my Instagram account (@roothers), you'll notice that there has been a proliferation of fatty fat fat fall-type foods lately. I've included above snapshots of:
- Gooey pumpkin coffee cake that I served to book club. And then served to myself later that night. And this morning
- Truck stop enchiladas with brisket that will bust the buttons off your pants
- Vegetarian lasagna with broccolini if you're looking for a healthier, yet still hearty, alternative
- Banana nana mini muffins for those of us who keep black bananas in our freezers just waiting for a recipe like this
And the title font was made with the sweet potato chili that I made on Monday. Nom. Looks like I'm gonna need a bigger pair of pants.
i love fall and can't wait till it hits NYC full force :)
ReplyDeletethe best part? pumpkin spice latte is back at starbucks! hahaha I totally look forward to the fall food as well :)
xoxoxo
1. No. freaking. way. were you in high school TEN years ago. I simply refuse to believe that.
ReplyDelete2. Moving on to your actual post... I want all of these things. They look so yummy!
3. I always gain at least 5 pounds over the holiday season.
Oh man this is making me so hungry!!

Oh, I have long since accepted the fact that I cannot diet. My self will just isn't that strong. I'm weak...weak I tell you! XD
ReplyDeleteAnyways, all of the food sounds so scrumptious! Pumpkin coffee cake...mmmmmm.
OMG Rooth I'm so hungry now and those enchiladas look amazingly delicious!

Simply amazing! You're talented in the kitchen. As you know, I can mess up a box cake mix. Oh well, we're all gifted in different ways, right? Some (you) just seem to be gifted in more ways than others (me). LOL!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're seeing the bright side to autumn. I have to admit I'm a sucker for all the stereotypical sights, sounds and smells of the season. I never miss the Charlie Brown Halloween special.
On a more literal bright side, our government extended daylight savings time for you a few weeks beyond it's traditional end date...so you get a little more sun. Does that help a little?
OMG pumpkin...makes me think of the pumpkin spice latte from starbucks...a major reason diets start never for me! :)

it's the same here. I'm back in Germany for all but a week and have already gained a ton of weight... it's horrible. but oh so good :)
ReplyDeleteThis made me want to make more food. And then eat it all. Which reminds me that there's a huge quantity of apples in the kitchen that need to be turned into pies asap. Oh yes.
ReplyDeleteOoh, I love fall--love it! That said, thanks for s new pumpkin coffee cake recipe! :)
ReplyDeleteNow you have me wondering of there is anywhere within London EC4A where I can get enchiladas for lunch... Om nom nom nom.
ReplyDeleteI totally pegged those mini muffins as Swedish meatballs. I'm also looking forward to fall for all the hot apple cider!
ReplyDeleteYES! Nothing better than fall food! Love the food pics, Rooth, although they did make me hungry...boo.....:P
ReplyDeleteWahh, I LOVE fall comfort food. The warm, yummy deliciousness! Now I'm totally craving apple cider and pumpkin pie!
ReplyDeleteOh yum.. I love fall food.. apples and soup
ReplyDeleteI love your eclectic style and completely love your blog! I agree on your point + diets not working (for me EVER).
ReplyDeleteYou have great stuff!!
XOXO
Pumpkin. Coffee. Cake. I'm making this the second October arrives :-)
ReplyDeleteHaha - I do eat much more baked goods and heavier food in fall and winter. It´s so good though, so I´m not stopping! :-D
ReplyDeleteohhhh man baked breads....and pumpkin spice latte's......
ReplyDeleteI seriously ate like 10 little pumpkin treats (with cream cheese topping) last night. it was a disaster, but they were too delicious.
ReplyDeleteYay for Fall foods! Comforting as ever.
ReplyDeleteIn this part of the world, diets don't ever start. LOL! That food looks amazing. It takes real concerted effort to be a health nut these days!
ReplyDeleteMmm, I just ate and you are making me hungry all over again!
ReplyDeleteAlright girl, I'm ready for that pumpkin coffee cake recipe when you are!
ReplyDeleteagree.. so heavy and good. also addiction to pumpkin spice and gingerbread latte's kicks in.
ReplyDeleteHAHA. This subject line made me laugh haha. I love any holiday that's premise is food.
ReplyDeleteSweet potato chili? YUUUUUMMMM. I've never heard that before and it sounds SO delicious! And don't forget all the spicy hotpot-like meals where they throw more chilies than the meat. Oh. And Ramen. The best.
ReplyDeleteLove your description of fall foods. Who needs to diet with food like that?!
ReplyDeletemmmm love that veggie lasagna idea! my favorite food of fall (as of last year) is butternut squash and pumpkin soup. Soooo delicious!
