When fall is in the air and you’re feeling inspired to cook delicious seasonal meals, snacks, and treats, choose one of these dietitian-created fall recipes!
What’s not to love about fall? Thanks to the crisp air, golden colors, and cozy sweaters, we all start to feel the twinge of anticipation for the season ahead. With so many beautiful changes happening this time of year, fall flavors also begin to make an appearance.
You guessed it — as soon as September rolls around, pumpkin everything arrives in all of its sunset glory and the internet becomes flooded with pumpkin coffee, pumpkin face masks, and everything else in between. However, as nutritious and tasty as pumpkin is, there are many other fall-related flavors that are just as delicious to eat.
What are these produce items and how can we use them in the kitchen? I decided that this was the perfect time to ask some of my registered dietitian blogger friends to share their go-to fall recipes featuring apples, squash, cinnamon, pumpkin, and more.
So, get ready to cook the heck out of fall with this incredible collection of nutritious fall-inspired recipes!
