Got That Summertime Sadness? You Need These 90 Fall Recipes, Stat
As the days get shorter and the weather gets colder, I start to crave all cozy, rich fall flavors! You know what I am talking about – cinnamon, pumpkin spice, nutmeg, and the seasonal produce that comes along with Fall, too! From apples, pumpkins, sweet potatoes, and squash, fall brings such food joy to me! Below, I’ve put together a list of 90 recipes to make this fall from breakfast to dessert.
Fall is such an exciting time to try new recipes! All those warming spices and hearty ingredients come together for such satisfying dishes. From hearty baked oatmeal to easy beef stew and turmeric cake, you can whip up a cornucopia of easy and mouthwatering dishes.
P.S. And it’s not all about the pumpkin spice, although that’s definitely a highlight of the fall season. There’s something for everyone – vegetarian fall recipes, casseroles, desserts, and even tasty fall recipes for kids!
Reasons to Make More Fall Recipes
Embrace seasonal foods. Making more fall recipes allows you to embrace the unique autumn flavors and ingredients this season brings. Enjoy warm spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, and maximize the sweetness of butternut squash and Brussels sprouts.
Warm and cozy – perfect for cold weather. Healthy fall recipes naturally provide warmth and comfort. Savoring a bowl of hearty pumpkin soup or indulging in a slice of warm apple pie can be cozy and satisfying. Homemade comfort doesn’t get better!
Prep for festive gatherings and holidays. I don’t know about you, but making fall recipes puts me in the mood for holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas. It adds to the sense of celebration. Plus, making a cozy family dinner, like one of the hearty fall casseroles, is also a great way to do a practice run on a particular recipe before the big day.
Budget-friendly recipes. Let’s be real: fresh berries in the fall are incredibly overpriced. But apples, pomegranates, and cranberries are not. We all know that seasonal produce is often more abundant and affordable during its peak, so it’s best to make fall recipes in the fall and save all the fresh and summer fruits and veggies for next year.
Tips for Healthy Fall Recipes
Use the indoor grill. When the fall weather becomes too chilly to head into the great outdoors (or backyard), why not fire up the indoor electric grill to prepare healthy fall recipes with outdoor flavor?
Use slow cookers to make wholesome, comforting food. Our bodies crave comfort this time of year, and slow cookers are here to help. They are great for chili, stews, and soups. Just add the ingredients into the slow cooker in the morning; by dinner time, you will have a hearty meal to satisfy the entire family.
Air fry! Fall often means more indoor time, movie nights, family gaming, and, of course, football season. So, use the air fryer to whip up healthier treats with little hands-on time. Check out all my air fryer recipes.
Double batch. This time of year is all about hearty dishes. Take this opportunity to whip up double batches and freeze them, making weeknights easier. Fall casseroles are especially great at doubling up.
Get more vitamin D. As the days get shorter, so does our exposure to sunlight and vitamin D. To keep your level topped up with this beneficial nutrient, include foods with high vitamin D levels in your diet. Items like fish, eggs, milk, and mushrooms are excellent choices.
Fall Basics
Know your basics. Fall is all about comfort foods like soups, chilis, and stews, and that often means being stocked up on broth. Learn how to make beef stock, chicken stock, and vegetable stock. You may also want to check out how to cook pasta, lentils, and quinoa so you’re set.
Meal prep ideas. Make these meal prep components on the weekend so you are prepped for the week ahead: pumpkin puree, marinara sauce, pumpkin pie spice, and applesauce. Chop up all the veggies for mirepoix, roast sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds, toast pecans, and make candied walnuts to go with your fall salads.
Be squash smart. Learn how to cut butternut squash, cook them, and turn them into delicious noodles. Roasting winter squashes makes an instant side dish and thankfully, you have plenty of options. Try roasted acorn squash, delicata squash, or spaghetti squash.
Other fall veggies. Check out how to cut Brussel sprouts, cabbage, broccoli, and mushrooms correctly. Then, to ensure the texture is just right, check out how to cook broccoli and beets. Instantly add flavor to your healthy fall recipes with caramelized onions, roasted garlic, or au jus.
Don’t forget the fruits. Learn how to cut a pomegranate, freeze cranberries, cut oranges, or make apple chips to include in snacks or fall breakfast recipes.
