13 recipes to eat your way through fall

October 4, 2024

One of the many reasons to love fall is the cooking and eating opportunities. Let's be honest: eating is pretty much my main method of celebrating most seasons and occasions, but fall is a bit special.

All summer long, where I live it's often too hot to cook. Turning on the oven sounds like a terrible idea. It's barbeque season, baby. Throw a salad together for bonus points.

But secretly, I miss it. Give me a simmering pot or a pan of something cheese-based waiting patiently in the oven. It's comfort food season, and the perfect time to try new recipes or pull out the tried & true classics.

Here are 13 recipes on my list to try this fall. Let's start savoury and move into sweets towards the end. I have so far tried the One Skillet Pork with Risotto and can confirm it surpassed my expectations for an easy, weeknight, one-pan meal. I am literally simmering the Creamy Parmesan Pumpkin Pasta as I type, so soon I can report whether it was one to add to the family recipe book.

Happy fall, and happy eating!
