Fact: Autumnal is my favorite word. I love everything about Autumn, and even though it hasn’t actually started yet, I’m already craving the foods many of us associate with the season. It doesn’t help that football season has started- that really makes it feel like fall to me.
So I thought I’d share a few of my favorite autumnal recipes because I know I can’t be the only one feeling this way!
Cornbread Waffles Smothered in Spicy Chili Perfect for game day or brunch (mmmmm with a bloody mary? These would be divine!), what a fun way to combine waffles and chili!
Spicy Sweet Potato Hash with Roasted Poblanos Roasted peppers just scream fall to me!
Creamy Bacon Corn Dip is always good to bring to a potluck or to eat during a game. Or for dinner…
Cauliflower Corn Chowder always hits the spot on those cool fall evenings! Plus it’s a bit lighter than your usual chowders because it uses cauliflower in place of all those potatoes. Not that I have anything against potatoes!
Another hearty soup I’ve been craving is my Taco Soup! It’s delicious and filling and just a bit decadent.
My Creamy Portobello Mushroom and Kale Pasta has also been calling out to me. Sure, it’s pasta, but it’s not heavy at all, thanks to all the ‘bellos and greenery! And did I mention it’s creamy?
Also? Baked Mac n’ Cheese because it’s finally time to turn our ovens back on, right?
If pumpkin is your jam, you gotta try these Baked Pumpkin Chimichangas with Chipotle Cream Sauce. Did you know you can make chimi’s in the oven and save a whole bunch of calories? Well you can!
Tex-Mex Chinese Pie with a whole explanation of WHY I call it Chinese Pie:
Honestly I could go on and on because I have a ton of favorite fall recipes, but I’m going to close with my mostly aptly named one: The Best Fall Casserole. It’s easy and it’s EXACTLY what you’re craving when the air has a chill and you’ve spent the afternoon hiking or raking leaves or watching football!
I’m curious to know… which seasonal foods are you guys craving?
