About Her Lifestyle

One of the best things about this time of year is the abundance of delicious, hearty food that are in-season. Many people prefer to shop in-season produce since these fruits and vegetables are lower in price yet higher in quality and taste.

We’ve compiled a list below of our top seven recipes to cook this fall. These meals are perfect for crisp fall days and use a similar core group of ingredients, which will save you time and money while grocery shopping. Make sure you have the following basics on hand:

• Apples
• Onions
• Carrots
• Potatoes
• Assorted spices
• Meat (based on recipes or preference)

Our top 7 recipes for fall are:

1. Wine-Marinated Pot Roast

This filling roast needs up to 8 hours to marinate to ensure optimal flavoring, but it is completely worth it. The substitution of parsnips for potatoes adds variety to an otherwise comfort food.

2. Sheet Pan Sausage and Fall Vegetables

What could be better than crisp Bratwursts surrounded by a delicious assortment of fall vegetables? When you can cook it all together in one pan! Just lay all the ingredients flat on a sheet pan and pop it in the oven to cook.

3. Roasted Chicken

A beautifully roasted chicken is a staple in many houses during the fall, and for good reason. This dish can serve as the main course in dozens of different ways. Add a side of potatoes or your favorite root vegetable and serve it up!

4. Classic Chili

Nothing says fall like a warm bowl of chili. This classic recipe is a perfect start and can be tweaked to your preferences. Add in any additional root vegetables, adjust the spiciness, add meat if you prefer. This is one of the easiest meals to throw together and the leftovers taste just as good.

5. Healthy Chicken Casserole

While many fall dishes are on the heavier side, this light and healthy chicken casserole will warm your hearts with the same preferred flavors of the fall.

6. Spiced Pear-Cranberry Cobbler

Fall just isn’t complete without an array of delicious desserts! This spiced pear and cranberry cobbler is perfect for a holiday table or just a weekend dinner at home.

No list of fall recipes would be complete without apple pie and this one takes it up a notch to make it themed especially for the most favorited season of year.
