Fall is here, and it’s the perfect season for comforting meals.

Nothing says comfort food like a bubbling dish of baked beans fresh from the oven.

Recipe: Acorn Squash Bread

Perfect with morning coffee, served warm with butter, or even topped with a scoop of ice cream for dessert. It’s a fall recipe you’ll want to bake on repeat.

Recipe: Easy Herb Chicken Salad Perfect for Meal Prepping

This chicken salad gets a zesty lift from lemon and plenty of fresh herbs. Swap the chicken for chickpeas or your favorite vegan chicken alternative for a satisfying vegan option.

Smart Seasonal Tip for September

I’m so glad to see new faces here! If you’re joining us for the first time, welcome! You’re part of a growing little food-loving community.

September is a great time to lean on late-summer produce while easing into fall flavors.

Pair juicy pears or figs with warm spices like cardamom or cinnamon for an easy snack or dessert.
​
And don’t forget greens like collards or kale! they thrive in cooler weather and taste even sweeter after a light frost.

New collards recipe coming just in time for the holiday season! I use frozen collards!
