20 autumn sweets for your oven

Fall baking -- I'm totally in deep.

I love the smell of cinnamon and rising dough in the kitchen.

I love the sun, too, but a dark gray day on the cool side makes me want to hibernate near my oven.

And it's cool and breezy enough to open the doors and windows, so I'm loving it in here.
