Hosting family or friends this Thanksgiving or Christmas season? This Fall Simmer Pot Recipe comes with both stovetop and Crock-Pot directions. Only five minutes to prep this homemade potpourri! Cook as long as you would like.

Fall Simmer Pot Recipe

Fall Simmer Pot Recipe - Homemade Potpourri

One way to keep your home smelling good this Thanksgiving (and Christmas) season is with a Simmer Pot. A simmer pot takes natural ingredients and warms them on the stove releasing a combination of scents into the air making your home smell warm and inviting to guests.

Hostess Tips and Tricks

Because I am a terrible host, I put together our Hosting Tips and Tricks post. You guys must know the struggle is real, because you guys have pinned this post like crazy! If you are hosting a holiday gathering this fall, I suggest you take on some of these tips and tricks. A Fall Simmer Pot would be an excellent way to make your home smell inviting even if the outdoors temperature is 80 degrees and there isn’t a sign of snow on the ground.

Save this Hosting Tips post to your Party, Thanksgiving and Christmas Pinterest Boards.

Friendsgiving

This year might be the first Thanksgiving, in my almost 40 years of life, we are not with family.  In fact, I will spend a good chuck of it flying my girls back and forth from Florida to Virginia, only to not celebrate with them. I am not looking forward to it. This Thanksgiving is our first ever Friendsgiving – time with friends and giving thanks for the “family” we have 1,000 miles away from family by blood.

What is Friendsgiving?

Friendsgiving is not that old. It originated in 2009. It is a celebration of Thanksgiving among friends when you can’t be around family (or chose not to be) for the holidays.

We have the perfect post to get you started – Friendsgiving Thanksgiving Ideas with Friends. Share and Pin to your Thanksgiving Pinterest Board and grab ideas when you gather with friends!

This Fall Simmer Pot Recipe would be perfect for your stovetop if you are hosting!

Fall Simmer Pot Recipe Ingredients

The prep time for this simmer pot is only 5 minutes.

  • 1 orange, cut into chunks
  • 1 apple, cut into chunks
  • 1 sprig rosemary
  • 3 cinnamon sticks (This is a great price per stick!)
  • Water

Another suggestion is to keep the apple whole and press cloves into the apple. The cloves would replace the cinnamon sticks. Amazon also sells cinnamon essential oil and clove essential oil if you would prefer to add oils instead of the actual product. I think the product looks so beautiful so it would be something I would keep, but I wanted to give you the option.

You can use any pot to simmer that holds your ingredients but I fell in love with this discounted cooper simmer pot, isn’t it beautiful!?

This Cinnamon Apple French Toast Recipe will become a Saturday morning family favorite. Save excess and freeze or and serve over ice cream for a breakfast turned dessert recipe.

Cinnamon Apple French Toast Recipe

Cinnamon Apple French Toast Recipe

Saturday morning. Saturday morning is often very special for our family. It’s the traditional big breakfast Sunday where we make a ton to eat, often a sweet treat like French Toast, Crepes Pancakes or Cinnamon Rolls. While the purpose of this is family bonding, it has become a family tradition. Additionally, it is a bonus to my husband and I because we can be a little bit neglectful about lunch in the hustle and bustle of a Saturday.

A fall recipe that is quite tasty and adorably cute is our Cinnamon Apple French Toast Recipe. You can shape your french toast into adorable apple shapes or leave the shape as a slice of bread – we bet a child will have fun prepping the toast if you go with a cute cookie cutter shape. The recipe is tasty and leftovers can be used on top of ice cream as a Saturday evening dessert. The recipe is a breakfast win and a dinner win!.. and like I said above, it is a lunch win. We are often not home Saturday mid-day and don’t have to spend as much on lunch because of full bellies!

There are only a few simple ingredients in our fall french toast recipe.  This recipe yields 4 servings. Multiple as needed.

How to Make Cinnamon Apples

It is incredibly easy to make cinnamon apples. Serve with your french toast. Refrigerate and serve over ice cream for dessert later!

  3. Second, chop into bite-sized pieces.
  4. Next, in a pan with high sides, add sugar, butter and cinnamon.

Cinnamon Apple Fall French Toast Recipe

How to Make Fall French Toast

Have little hands help you shape your toast before cooking it. Save scraps of bread for more french toast! Cut them into strips. They will not be straight (my kids didn’t mind). Cook them as you did the apple shaped ones and freeze for another day! You can always use your toast whole.

Serving Size: 2 pieces
Servings: 4

Cinnamon Apple French Toast Ingredients:

  • 8 slices whole wheat bread
  • 3 eggs
  • ¼ C milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Apple shaped cookie cutter (we used one like this one)

Apple Shaped French Toast Directions:

  1. Cut out apple shapes by pressing the cookie cutter into the center of the bread and gently push the bread out from the cookie cutter, making sure not to break the stem or leaf.
  2. Add eggs, milk, and vanilla to a bowl and whisk until combined.
  3. Melt butter over medium heat in a large pan.
  4. Dip apple shapes into the egg mixture, coating both sides, and allow excess to drip off.
  5. Place onto pan and cook for about 2-4 minutes, checking frequently, until golden brown.
  6. Flip over and do the same.

Gluten-free Thanksgiving Recipes

No guilt. No gluten. Find a full list of Gluten-free Thanksgiving Recipes including turkey, sides, casseroles, veggies, breads and pies.

Gluten-free Thanksgiving Recipes

Gluten-free Thanksgiving Recipes

Almost 40 and I still have yet to make a Thanksgiving turkey. I can master almost any Thanksgiving side, but a large bird in my oven is so intimidating.  Thanksgiving is either a major holiday for us with close to 100 people gathered or it is very small. I have a family of seven and one year it was only four of us (granted the twins were in my belly and not on the outside)! Does this holiday sway back and forth for any other family? I think because of this, the turkey has always been covered. If we have a large gathering, the more seasoned chefs cook. If we have a very small gathering, we go out to eat.

That being said, sometimes our small gatherings lead to Friendsgiving Thanksgiving. In this situation, where there are many dietary needs, I try to accommodate everyone with my Thanksgiving recipes. This includes, being Keto-friendly and/or Gluten-free. This got me researching gluten-free Thanksgiving recipes that are tasty for all dietary restrictions!

Thankful for You Gift Tag

Thankful for You Gift Tag and Thanksgiving Teacher Gift Idea

As a former teacher, I am always looking for creative ideas for teachers. I don’t have too much wiggled room in the wallet as I have five kids and more than five teachers, but I do want them to feel appreciated. In an effort to not give them something they will shove in the back of an empty desk drawer, I try to do little homemade things that will be used. The school day can be long, especially during the holidays, so I know food is often used (and appreciated!) I made this teacher gift tag for my kids but also wanted to share it with you. Use your Thankful for You Gift Tag for a teacher, a neighbor or bring to a celebration for a host. Enjoy!

Supplies:

  • Homemade (or store bought) bread or muffins  – We used Pillsbury Pumpkin Bread Mix

Handmade Terracotta Place Settings for the Holiday Table

Handmade Terracotta Place Settings for your Christmas and Thanksgiving Tablescapes. This clay pot plant saucers craft is easy and add the cutest touch to the holiday table. 

Handmade Terracotta Place Settings for the Holidays

I love using alternative supplies to make cute crafts for the home. This time, I challenged myself to make something functional from the terracotta pot saucers that I had left over from spring. I’ve broken the pots themselves, so I was stuck wondering what to do with the leftover saucers!

But luckily, I thought of the perfect use for them – Handmade Terracotta Place Settings!

The 4-inch pot saucers that I have are perfect for place settings or even for coasters. If you’ll be using the pots as coasters, apply a clear waterproof sealer over the paint so it doesn’t chip.

These are so versatile, they can be used to make any holiday place setting more special! And since the pot saucers are free (I also saw them for sale at a hardware store for about 50 cents each), you can make them for every member of your family or friends list for every holiday!

Supplies:

  • Stencil stickers
  • Acrylic paint
  • Foam Paintbrush
  • Terracotta Plant Saucers


Directions:

Clean the pot saucers with a damp cloth and let dry completely.

Stick the stickers onto the center of each saucer, using either each person’s name, cute sayings, or a person’s initials. Choose an option based on the size of your stencil stickers.

Paint over the entire pot saucer with acrylic paint. Let the paint dry. If your colors are light, you may need to apply a second or third coat. Wait until the paint is completely dry before moving to the next step.

Carefully peel off the stencil stickers. You may need to use a craft knife to get the stencils to come off the pot. If you have any bleed-through on the paint, cover any drips with a paint color that matches your saucer color.

Use these place settings in your fall and winter tablescapes! I made red, green, and orange to work with both fall and winter celebrations. Use just red and green for Christmas, and red, green, and orange for the fall!

Inspiring Farmhouse Fall Decor on Frugal Coupon Living. Creative ideas for the Thanksgiving season including rustic metals, distressed woods, and orange and white pumpkins!

Inspiring Farmhouse Fall Decor

This unpretentious style is distinctly all-American. Nodding to its homegrown roots, farmhouse style homes have a collected-over-time look, complete with old-school prints, distressed furnishings, and vintage finishes. When it comes to Farmhouse Decor, we never tire. From bedrooms to kitchens to porches, we have you covered for the fall and Thanksgiving season.

While putting together these beautiful Farmhouse Vignettes, we noticed some trending patterns. White pumpkins for sure. Use orange pumpkins to pop when you are using a neutral palette. Of course, pull from cursive and chalk lettering, rustic metals, and distressed woods. Pulling form the outside and bringing elements in the house is perfect for the fall season. Print in wheat, pine cones, cotton, stand out mums and of course pumpkins.  No need to kill time carving. The pumpkin alone is a perfect touch.

We can’t wait to see the charm you bring to your home this fall with these fall decor ideas!
