The air is starting to get colder, and the leaves are beginning to change color, so clearly, it is not time for the beach.

Baking is my favorite thing to do during the fall season. With it being acceptable to make pumpkin-flavored everything, the delicious possibilities are endless. Now that it is not too hot outside to have the oven on all day, it is the perfect time to bake some snacks to bring back to school for you, and if you are nice, your roommates.
