1. Focus on the indoors. Swap outdoor entertaining items like melamine plates and pitchers for autumn-approved casserole dishes and bakeware.

2. Say goodbye to iced drinks… just for now! Assess your coffee or tea station to ensure it can handle hot drinks on cooler days. Consider adding cocoa and fun mix-ins as a special treat for family members and guests.

3. For those with school-age kids, finish up the summer snacks and refill baskets, bins or drawers with foods fit for a packed lunch. Ensure lunch boxes are easily accessible and have a storage space when not in use.

4. Review spices and check expiration dates. Make a grocery list for replacements needed to make your favorite hearty soups and stews.
