Favorite Fall Recipes

Hahaha I don't cook. I can only cook about 5 things 4 of which are pasta dishes and the 5th is tacos. But I have aspirations to cook so many delicious recipes, especially fall and Thanksgiving themed meals. None of the recipes that I want to cook are particularly difficult, they just take a certain amount of planning that I seem to lack entirely. I can't make a huge vat of chili without first going to the grocery store and buying more than just some cheese and bread.

Here is a bucket list of fall recipes that I want to try and cook:
-My Mom's "Forest Fire" Chili- it's not that spicy just a play on words with out last name. Anyway, its "award winning" (As in, we got 2nd place two years in a row at the church chili cook off).
-My Aunt's Sweet Potato/Regular Potato Cheesy Casserole of Deliciousness- She makes it every year for Thanksgiving and it is so good I am salivating right now just thinking about it.
-A bunch of fall themed warm alcoholic beverages- like spiked hot cider, and hot totties.

-A Pumpkin Pie- of course! How is this not at the top of my list? 

Our Pumpkin Pie from last year. 

Here is the recipe for the Chicken Green Chili that I am planning to make tomorrow for some friends:
