Fall dinners are the best, especially with family. Here are two recipes that everyone will want immediately. 

First, the brussel salad with apples, pecans, and blue cheese is a great meal. The ingredients you’ll need are Brussels sprouts, nuts (pecans, walnuts, etc.), apples (Honeycrisps), cheese (blue, Gorgonzola), and balsamic vinaigrette. You’ll need 4 cups of brussel sprouts, ¼ cups of crushed pecans as well as any other nuts, 1 apple, cheese, and balsamic vinaigrette. The apples and pecans give an enjoyable crunch and the tangy taste of blue cheese goes great together. 

Second, spinach lasagne roll-ups are an easy course to make and perfect for a quick and flavorsome dinner. To create this dish you’ll need 2 cups homemade marinara sauce, plus more for serving 9 lasagna noodles, 10 oz of frozen chopped-up spinach, 15 oz of ricotta cheese, 1.2 cup of parmesan, 1 egg, salt and pepper, and 9 tbsp of shredded mozzarella cheese. This will make the yummiest lasagna you’ve ever had! 

Soups and stews are essential parts of our favorite fall meals! Two popular and fantastic options are butternut squash soup and beef stew. The rich, textured soup, filled with flavors of ginger, cinnamon, and paprika is the best starter for dinner! Also, the beef stew with potatoes, carrots, and peas creates an incomparable fall meal! It’s gut-healthy and immediately becomes a family favorite! 

A meal isn’t complete without its side! Sometimes side dishes are the best part of the meal, so here are two delectable options! First, sweet potato casserole is one of the most popular fall dishes, specifically served at Thanksgiving. It’s the perfect thing to make if you want something on the sweeter side; you can even add marshmallows on top! All you’ll need is mashed sweet potatoes, any natural sweaters, spices like cinnamon and nutmeg and then you can also add pecans and mini marshmallows. Another side dish is turkey pot pie. It is made up of turkey, mixed vegetables, and cream sauce. It’s super appetizing and a great way to use leftover turkey! 

The best part about eating a meal is getting to dessert! There are so many amazing fall desserts, but some of the most common and favorites are cornbread muffins, pumpkin bread, and apple cobbler. To make cornbread muffins, you’ll need 2 ears of corn that are cut off the kernels, flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, milk, eggs, and oil. These muffins are a simple treat and can even be eaten as breakfast on the go. Pumpkin bread is an easy bake, making the whole house smell like pumpkin spice! For pumpkin bread, the ingredients needed are pumpkin puree, flour, baking soda, salt, oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and cinnamon/nutmeg. Mixing apples, cornstarch, sweaters, and spices makes for the most appetizing apple cobbler.

Fall is definitely the best time of the year because of its seasonal foods that leave all stomachs satisfied! There are a plethora of different variations of all the meals above and they can all be changed or altered to fit your desires. Happy eating!
