Fall Recipe Roundup
some of my favorites for this cozy time of year
It's hard to believe we've crossed the threshold of autumn equinox already. With temperatures still into the 90s in Northern California this week, chilly days and cozy nights could not come soon enough.
I’m finally landing back home after spending two weeks in Italy (more on that soon!) and while the weather is still quite warm, signs of fall are all around.
Just a walk around the garden and you’ll find our apple and pear trees are heavy with fruit, the sunflowers hang heavy as the birds devour their seeds, and the fiery marigolds make their mark against the desiccated grasses.
I’m eager to have a pot of bone broth simmering on the stove and feel like a kitchen witch with lots of things brewing. But until these temps die down a bit, the most I can do is pull together some of my favorite fall recipes for when the time (and weather!) is right.
This week, you’ll find a few staples from snacks to soups to help get you in the fall feeling. These are recipes for chilly mornings and cozy nights when you want to curl up at home and enjoy something comforting.
Drinks —
Grounding Fall Brew | A warming tea filled with earthy and soothing herbs to help support both the digestive and nervous systems.
CCF Digestive Tea | This is a quick and easy tea with spices you already have on hand, perfect for enjoying after a heavy meal.
Snacks —
Ricotta Crostini with The Agrodolce | You can switch up the recipe depending on what fresh or dried fruits you have in the pantry or find in abundance at the market.
Butternut Squash and Tahini Sumac Dip | A perfect dip for using up tender squash and adding a dash of warming aromatic spices right in.
Salted Maca Brown Rice Krispy Treats | My take on the nostalgic classic with the addition of nutty butterscotch flavor from the maca powder.
Mains —
Radicchio and Persimmon Salad | If you’re looking for a way to enjoy digestive-supportive bitter greens that also happen to be beautiful, this salad is great to make as a main dish or to serve as a side.
Butternut Squash Risotto | A classic comfort meal with medicinal bone broth as the base, this is a recipe you’ll want to make throughout the cooler seasons.
Shiitake Stroganoff | This is my spin on a nostalgic dish from my childhood with immune system-supportive shiitakes.
Soups —
Corn and Chanterelle Chowder with Mussels | Creamy and comforting, this soup uses the last of the fresh corn in season.
Brothy Tortellini and White Beans | I use storebought tortellini to make this soup come together for an easy weeknight dinner.
Roasted Squash and Ginger Apple Soup | One of my go-to recipes this time of year and a great way to use a warming herbal spice blend.
Happy Fall!
