Just a few weeks ago, I was clinging to summer with all my might. It’s not so much that I don’t like fall; I actually love it.
There’s one little thing that I don’t like, however. Autumn’s arrival means that winter is on its way and I don’t like winter. Not even a little bit. So, summer ending is a little sad for me, but I can embrace fall because the flavors of autumn are among my absolute favorite.
This week I’ve been perusing my recipe pages to see which fall recipe I want to include in my meal plans in the next few weeks. I thought I’d share with you what’s going to be on my menu. Warning: This blog was only a few weeks or months old when these recipes were published. The photos are…not great. Regardless, I think you’ll enjoy the recipes!
This is a Meghan favorite. Â It’s easy to whip up and super healthy with no added sweeteners needed!
Really? Â That’s the picture I went with? Â Really? Â Yep. Â These are soooo good, despite this crazy photo.
I can’t wait to make these again. Â They are super healthy and great for quick breakfasts.
Aww an old picture of Meghan. Â She had so many of these pumpkin pie smoothies last fall, I’m surprised her skin didn’t turn orange.
A savory pumpkin dish that is perfect for chilly autumn nights!
Clearly, I have a thing for pumpkin. Â This is a quick and easy vegan bisque that tastes delicious.
Butternut Squash and Apple Soup with Apple Gruyere Panini
Everyone has a butternut squash and apple soup recipe–mine is a healthy, vegan version that is full of flavor. Â The apple and cheese panini is a perfect accompaniment.
This healthy dip is a perfect snack for toddlers and kids.
These are some of the recipes that will be showing up in my kitchen in the coming months. Â Now I’m off to create some new fall-themed recipes. Â Any suggestions?
Question: Â What’s your favorite fall recipe? Â Please feel free to link up in the comment section.
These recipes look amazing!! I can’t wait for Fall 🙂
All of this looks fantastic! I haven’t posted fall recipes yet, so I can’t link up. Maybe soon! I am really wanting your panini and soup pairing right now.
All of your favorites sound delicious! One of my own favorites is Cooking Light’s Fall Minestrone. http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/quick-fall-minestrone-10000000549834/
Ooh I love minestrone–I’ll have to check that one out!
Love all the fall flavors. I just made pumpkin pancakes yesterday (and posted them last night!) They were a huge hit with my kids, and me too. 🙂
My oldest son loves anything pumpkin and while we were driving home from school he asked me to make him a pumpkin smoothie, I will give your a try! 🙂
I need to catch up with my blog reading. 🙂 I’ve had two pumpkin smoothies in the last two days. Love.
The no sugar dip and the pumpkin smoothie looks awesome, thanks so much for (re) posting!!!
I am so glad I got pumpkin at home so I can make your recipes! They all look amazing!
Fall is a lovely time! I do miss the changing of colors and the crisp air. I am intrigued by the pumpkin pancakes. Will have to make!
Find the baked pumpkin penne interesting and yummy! You always think of pumpkin as a sweet thing but it is amazing how you can make all these savory things using pumpkin. In indian food they have so many pumpkin stir fry recipes etc..Will have to try the Penne recipe this season. I love the Fall too! Although I really miss the fall foliage here in LA.
Yum, all of these recipes sound/look so good! Starred your post so I can go back and make some of these.
By far, our favorite fall recipe is pumpkin bread. I’ve already made it three times already. Can we say a little obsessed? Yes, fall is my favorite. It could be why I chose to get married in the fall and both babies were born in the fall…..coincidence? I like to think not. I’m liking the looks of your pumpkin penne, though, and we might give that a try.
the baked pumpkin penne pasta looks delicious!
I am digging my pumpkin pie ‘ice cream’/smoothie! Mmmmm! ….Pretty much the same thing as yours! 🙂
I like the way you think! I hate winter too, but I love fall. I just made a pumpkin pie smoothie this morning–I’ll have to compare our recipes to see if we think alike too. Yes, fall is my favorite season to eat. But then I say that about summer too…
Mmmm, I had to check out that apple dip – we’ve been going crazy on apples since I found some at the farmers market last week. I’ve been craving them all summer but I resisted buying any 😀 I do something very similar with peanut butter and maple syrup but I never thought to add yogurt in it too. Yummy 🙂 My favorite thing to do with apples right now is just slice them with the skin on, sprinkle them with cinnamon and then heat them up in a small pan on the stove or even in the microwave, just till they’re hot, not really cooked and then eat them like that or with a drizzle of honey 🙂 I can’t wait to start posting some fall recipes! I feel like I’m missing out already! Fall flavors are totally my favorite 😀
mmm – love that pumpkin penne recipe! I used to only think of pumpkin as an addition for a “sweet” dish, but now I know better. 🙂 I love making pumpkin enchiladas!
