ENTERTAINING BUCKET LIST: FALL EDITION

Continuing in the tradition of Entertaining Bucket Lists here on JMS, I am thrilled to bring out our Fall 2018 one! Fall is my favourite season and I am so excited to start thinking about pumpkins and cozy recipes for entertaining. As the weather starts to dip at night, I am reminded more and more of Fall and I cannot wait to start diving into this Entertaining Bucket List. Fall is officially here on September 22 (this week yay!) therefore get your candles and fuzzy blankets out and start setting that cozy ambiance.

Fun Fact: I absolutely hate everything pumpkin and pumpkin spice (shocker!) but I still adore this season so much! My husband on the other hand lovesss everything pumpkin/pumpkin spice, therefore, he eats/tests out every fun new thing that comes out in the season. Gotta make sure those pumpkin spice lattes are still purchased by one of us!

If you are new here, I created the seasonal Entertaining Bucket List because every season throughout the year brings on new adventures and fun activities to be tackled. I love me a good bucket list and I have seen so many pop up on Pinterest lately. They are pretty much all encompassing which is great but I wanted to create a special one for entertaining specifically. Most of the items I want to do each month involve friends, family and food so it’s a perfect fit! You can do the below on your own but having people over to enjoy the activities makes it that more special.

Whether you add these items to your main bucket list for the Fall or keep them separate – they are sure to be a lot of fun for all!

THREE CHEESE MINI NACHOS

As the days get cooler, you can feel Fall is just around the corner and football season is upon us! My husband loves watching the sport and I have been drawn in myself as well. More so than watching the games (which are always fun) I love planning the food spread. Fall brings the feeling of comfort food and nachos are definitely on that list!

When having people over throughout the season I like to serve something warm (and cheesy preferably) and this recipe checks both those boxes! Since sometimes sharing a large platter can be awkward, l am serving the next round of nachos in individual mini bowls so everyone can have their own bite! This gives you your own portion of melted cheese goodness – how can you go wrong with that?!

FALL IS HERE!

As the crisp air turns, the leaves change colour and the pumpkin spice lattes are everywhere……you know that FALL IS HERE!

Fall is my favourite season and thankfully here in Canada we get to fully experience the changes – temperature dips and beautiful bring red/orange/yellow trees everywhere. Once the nights get cooler I love to start decorating the house for the season. The fall brings a warming feeling to the home – people start to light more candles, blankets come out from hiding and get togethers with friends tend to be inside the home rather than outdoors.

I have created a printable to help you with your fall decorating and so nobody forgets that FALL IS HERE!
