El Paso Mom

When most people think of spectacular fall colors, West Texas is probably not the first place that comes to mind. But you’d be surprised how many beautiful fall leaves you can catch a glimpse of close to home.

Move over, pumpkin spice. Apples with cinnamon. Apples with caramel. Or just apples on their own are the fall flavor so many of us crave. There are so many apple recipe options and don’t even get me started on the smell — THE BEST. Create your own apple tradition by checking out some of the apple orchards near El Paso this year.

There’s not much that will bring all the fall feels like walking through an open field of orange and picking out the most perfect pumpkin to take home and carve — or decorate your porch with. Here's your guide to local pumpkin patches.

Nothing says fall time like long stalks of corn to wander through. While some are scary and some are just fun, corn mazes signal that fall time fun is here! We’re fortunate that the corn mazes in the El Paso area don’t stand alone. They are full on fall family fun with tons of other activities to delight young and old alike.

Here are some local Halloween happenings that are sure to be SPOOKtacular!

Sometimes it’s easier to take small children to a community trunk or treat event rather than trick or treating. Or maybe you just want to get more wear out of that cute costume. So why not go to as many events as you can? Whatever the reason, don that costume and go collect the candy!

When the air gets a chill in it, it’s time make soup. And bring me all things apple and pumpkin flavored. If you’re looking for yummy fall recipes, look no further!
