Pumpkin Season And Fall Entertaining

Pumpkin Patch Muffins

I am starting to ready our home to host gatherings with friends and family to welcome in the autumn season.  Sharing recipes with my friends in the “Tastes of the Season” series hosted by Ella Claire has put me in just the right mood to bake and entertain.

My kitchen smells delicious after these perfect sized pumpkin muffins go into the oven. Scents of cinnamon and clove begin to fill the air and suddenly autumn is here. It is as if there is a passing of the baton from summer to autumn and a new season has happened upon us.


Ingredients

Keeping it simple is the key to how I entertain no matter the season. Simple food and simple decorating make for gatherings that everyone enjoys.

I like to set up different food and drink stations throughout the house when I entertain. This helps prevent people from crowding into one spot.  Sometimes that means having to think a little creative, but that is when that magic happens.

Substantial pieces and those that have a history to them are just some of the ways I create an autumnal feel when entertaining at this time of year. The vintage wooden crate that I found at a barn sale and old books that I covered in fabric convey those messages perfectly.
