The air is crisp, the leaves are changing, and we are ready to grab a blanket, light a fire, and cozy up with our favorite comfort foods of the season! Fall is officially here, and we here at John Wm. Macy’s have come up with food pairings for all your essential autumn adventures! Whether you are headed to the pumpkin patch, hosting the ultimate tailgate party, or cooking up some comfort food at home, we have the perfect recipe for you!
A Pumpkin Patch Picnic
No fall season is complete without a trip to the pumpkin patch! The thrill of finding the perfect pumpkin, the crisp air, the smell of hay, and the autumn breeze come together for a true celebration of the season. You are sure to work up an appetite from the hunt, and this homemade snack mix is the ideal treat to restore your energy! Combine John Wm. Macy’s Original Cheddar Cheesesticks (broken into bite sized pieces,) mixed nuts, dried cranberries, pretzels, and roasted pumpkin seeds. Drizzle with honey and add a sprinkle of sea salt. You can even add some chocolate chips to add a little sweetness to your cheesy mix!
A Cheesy Touchdown Celebration
Another incredible part of fall is football season! Game days are the perfect affair for gathering your crew, sporting your team’s colors, and enjoying a hearty spread of warm foods & brews! Whether you are heading to a tailgate before a game or watching from home, our cheesecrisps are the MVP of any game-day menu! Buffalo Chicken Dip is an absolute must-have for fall entertaining. Top with some crushed Asiago & Cheddar Cheesecrisps for an added crunch worthy of a touchdown!
Movie Marathon with a Crunch
When the chill of the autumn air sets in, some evenings are best spent snuggled up on the sofa with some delicious and warm comfort food and your absolute favorite movies. One of our favorite recipes for a cozy evening is Cranberry and Rosemary Baked Brie. There is nothing better than a baked brie, and when paired with the tartness of the cranberry and savory rosemary flavor, it is the ultimate comforting dip. Another great option for your movie marathon is our Spiced Pumpkin & Sage Dip. Not only does this dip combine some of the essential flavors of the season, but it is delicious too! Both of these recipes pair perfectly with our John Wm. Macy’s Grilled Crostini Toasts.
We hope you are inspired to enjoy the activities and flavors of the fall season! Tag us on social media @johnwmmacys and let us know which one of our comfort food recipes is your favorite! Until next time, Crunch Crew!
