As we enter the holiday seasons of Fall all of the food websites have change over into a new leaf. Going through all of the recipes can be quite a bore, especially once they begin to repeat themselves. This is a quick guide to Falls Foods that are Fun and Filling.

On ,Paula Deens Website she introduces readers to Fall Fun Drinks that will keep you warm morning, noon, or night. It is great to have a warm drink as the weather begins to change. The one I enjoyed the most was the creamy hot chocolate. Its quick, sweet, and warms the belly.

On The Food Network,  they give you Fall Fruit Desserts that are budget friendly, time friendly, and feature fruits that are in season. They currently have three different desserts, that are also featured in their recipe book. The one I choose to try was the Cinnamon- Anise Poached Pear

 

 

 

Directions

Peel, halve and core 2 pears. Put in a shallow dish with 1 cup water, 1/3 cup sugar, 1 cinnamon stick and 1 star anise pod. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave until the pears are soft, 8 minutes. Meanwhile, beat 1/2 cup heavy cream with 1 tablespoon sugar and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon until soft peaks form. Serve the pears with the syrup and cinnamon cream.
