Whether you're hosting a potluck or simply attending as a guest, we've got some great ideas for fall-inspired foods that'll feed a group!

Fall-Inspired Foods for Your Next Potluck Get-Together

Butternut Squash Rolls

Everybody always thinks about main dishes and dessert, but when it comes to potluck, guests will always appreciate some kind of bread to go with the deliciousness of the entrées. These butternut squash rolls speak to the very essence of autumn by incorporating a winter squash that suddenly appears right when the leaves start turning. If you're a baker, this should be one of your go-to fall season potluck offerings.

Turkey Almond Salad

Turkey is a protein that'll soon be the talk of the town as autumn begins to slip into winter. Get a head-start on your turkey-leftover recipes by bringing this turkey almond salad to your next gathering. To make this recipe even easier or if you don't have cooked turkey on hand, swing by your local grocery store and grab a rotisserie chicken. It's the perfect substitution for recipes like this.

Owl Cookies

These owl cookies are fun for kids' parties, but you can rest assured adults will love them, too. They only use a few ingredients, and even if you're not great with the oven, these cookies take care of themselves once you get all their elements together.

Potato Chowder

Your slow cooker was designed to do great things for big crowds. Put it to work this autumn by making potato chowder. You can let the ingredients simmer overnight, so it's ready to go when you are.

A full bowl and a happy belly are two reasons people love a good soup, especially when fall starts to settle in. Lucky for you, the team at our Flagstaff apartments has already done a little digging. In honor of our recipe research, please enjoy these soups!

1. Savory Winter Soup

Topping our list is a soup that takes its name from the title of this blog. Savory Winter Soup brings ground beef, a bit of broth, and a few garden staples together in a harmonious bowl of goodness.

2. Homemade Potato Soup

Potato soup is the perfect canvas for creative kitchen endeavors. Enjoy the simplicity of its thick, hearty nature, or explore other items that can make it even better. Bacon, chopped celery, cheese and flavored crackers can boost the flavor profile of this delicious dish.

3. Crockpot Roasted Garlic Butternut Squash Soup

Put your slow-cooker to good use with a bowl of this fall-flavored goodness. Not to mention, the brilliant orange color will brighten up any kitchen!

4. Easy Chili

Nothing says savory soup quite like good old-fashioned chili. Topped with cheese and accompanied by crackers, chili is where it's at when the winter months settle in. Not a fan of beef? Try turkey chili instead!

5. Barley Vegetable Soup

Veggies can make a powerful statement when you're looking for a savory soup. Barley Vegetable Soup brings the magic of garden goodness together with filling barley.

6. Chicken and Dumplings

Go back in time, to a place where your grandma's table and her famous chicken dumplings were all you wanted out of life. Looking for a recipe that requires less effort? Try Pillsbury's version. Here's a tip: Grab a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store instead of making chicken at home. It'll save you a ton of time while simultaneously upping the flavor of your dumplings.

7. Dad's Meatball Soup

Dad's Meatball Soup is a pretty fool-proof way to entertain a hungry crowd. There's not much to it, in terms of ingredients, but the outcome is well worth the effort. It's perfect for busy weeknights when you just don't have a ton of time to put on a big meal.

Soup's on in our apartment community's kitchens! Reach out to our Country Club Terrace team to learn how our floor plans can help you enhance your entertaining opportunities!

1. Pumpkin Juice

If kids are coming to the party, then this drink from "Harry Potter" is sure to be a crowd pleaser. Mix the following ingredients in a blender.

• 32 ounces of apple juice or apple cider as a base
• Six tablespoons of pumpkin puree 
• Ten ounces of peach, pear, or apricot juice (your choice!)

For best results, serve cold to all your little wizards!

2. Perfect Pumpkin Bread

You probably already have everything you need in your pantry to make this simple pumpkin bread, except for the pumpkin puree. Mix all ingredients and pour into a loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 55-65 minutes. Allow bread to cool before serving. 

3. Pumpkin Pancakes

Make pancakes as directed on box using 1 cup of pancake mix. Fold in 1/2 cup of canned pumpkin, 1/2 cup of pecan pieces, and 2 tablespoons of brown sugar. Cook just like regular pancakes, flipping when bubbles appear on top. For extra indulgence, serve with a dollop of whipped cream!
