Fall Bakes + A Pantry Reset
Ready for fall baking? Let’s make sure your pantry is, too. Check the dates on your baking powder and baking soda, and give those spices a sniff. If you can barely smell the cinnamon, it’s time for a fresh jar.
I rounded up five cozy bakes to get you inspired, with a pantry check for each and a restock list below. A little prep now means fewer mid-recipe grocery runs later.
