Fall is practically here, and you know what that means – it’s time to “spice” up your life, pumpkin style! Or is it? While we do love lattes, treats, and snacks crafted around the popular flavor, autumn has other great tastes that often get overshadowed. Check out our top three seasonal flavors, sans spice.
_____
1. An Apple A Day – The iconic fruit of fall, apples are a big part of treasured autumn memories. From warm cider to homemade pie, this seasonal staple is incorporated into plenty of sweet treats. If you don’t live near an orchard, head to your local store and stock up on different varieties to use in recipes or enjoy as a healthy snack. Bon appétit!
2. Mad for Maple Walnut – Whether in ice cream, cookies, or even waffles, maple walnut is a truly delicious combination. Maple’s sweet flavor paired with crunchy walnuts gives us all the fall feels. If your interest is piqued but you’re unsure of where to begin, we recommend maple walnut cookies. Whip up this simple recipe and invite some friends over for some fall-themed fun.
3. Vino and Vines – Instead of sipping a seasonal latte, why not sample the local flavor? Visiting a winery is a fun way to spend an autumn afternoon with family and/or friends. Enjoy various varieties of wine as you marvel at the lush landscape and appreciate the beauty of the season. If you’re in the Rhode Island area, be sure to check out Carolyn’s Sakonnet Vineyard in picturesque Little Compton. Owned by ALEX AND ANI Founder, CEO, and Chief Creative Officer, Carolyn Rafaelian, this landmark recently celebrated its fortieth anniversary and features several award-winning wines.
