Being one of the youngest in a big family has several benefits, but one of them is definitely having delicious food cooked for you all the time.

- Apple Pie

Many may know the phrase, “an apple a day keeps the doctor away,” so imagine what an apple pie can do! Apple pie is a popular autumn dessert enjoyed by many Americans. Every ingredient that goes into an apple pie comes from different parts of the world! Did you know that apples originated from England? Fun fact, apple trees are non-native to North America! They were first introduced to America when the Europeans arrived. The wheat that goes into apple pies originated in the Middle East. Iconic fall spices like cinnamon and nutmeg are native to countries such as Sri Lanka and Indonesia. Apple pie is a melting pot of unique cultures and counties and a staple dessert during fall in the US.
- Pumpkin Loaf

It’s almost pumpkin season! One of my favorite snacks is the iconic pumpkin loaf. The pumpkin loaf is a simple bread consisting of flour, baking soda, baking powder, spices, and of course, pumpkin! Pumpkins are surprisingly nutritious, containing high levels of vitamin A and antioxidants. They are also high in fiber, potassium, and vitamin C, which can promote heart health. Indulge in some healthy pumpkin snacks this fall!
