Fall is the perfect time of year to snuggle up with the person you care about most. They'll keep you nice and warm as the temperature outside drops. Needless to say, date night can be as simple as a quiet evening at home, complete with cuddling and a delicious home-cooked meal. As long as you're with your bae, you'll have a great time. We all know that there are so many exciting flavors that come with this season, too. I personally cannot wait to eat every single pumpkin-flavored treat I can possibly get my hands on. If you're like me, luckily there are so many healthy fall dessert recipes to make for date night.
