Fall Fest: Making the Most out of This Season’s Harvest

It’s officially fall time – the air is crisp, party stores are flooded with children purchasing their favorite Halloween costumes, fall foliage sprinkles the sidewalks, and the smell of apples and pumpkin spice fill the air. Fall brings lots of joy, and we’re excited to get back to the kitchen this season and spend time simmering stews, warming soups, baking, and indulging in other forms of cooking to help us get cozy as the temperatures drop. Plan your perfect fall menu with these decadent autumn recipes that showcase the season’s best flavors.

Carrot Craze

Roasted Carrot & Apple Soup

 

One of our favorite fall vegetables? Carrots! These sweet-yet-earthy tasting root veggies make a versatile addition to any recipe and are chock-full of good-for-you nutrients, including vitamins A, C, K and B8 along with folate, potassium, iron, copper, and manganese. Turn up the oven for this fragrant and delectable Roasted Carrot & Apple Soup. Enjoy as a starter course or a stick-to-your-ribs lunch. 

Beet it Up

Beet & Bean Salad Crostini

This fall, give beets a chance to show off their full nobility with two beet-centric recipes. This Beet & Bean Salad Crostini is the perfect, no-fuss appetizer or hunger-quashing afternoon snack. Craving something doubly sweet and savory to indulge in? Jazz up the classic beet and brie pairing with this party-ready recipe for Pastry Wrapped Roasted Beets and Brie

Spice up a Classic

Potatoes are a steadfast staple in a wide range of cuisines, and there are many ways to serve them – whether it’s roasted, baked, fried, or mashed. Dress up your classic potato dish with this Creamy Potato and Tuna Bake, made with Libby’s® Sliced White Potatoes and Sweet Peas. It’s a satisfying entrée that will banish the autumn chill and bring comfort and warmth straight to your dinner table.

 

For the Love of Lunch

Who has time for a delicious and inspiring lunch with everything else you need to accomplish in a single day? Whether you’re taking care of the kids, running errands or dashing around an office, it’s easy to find yourself in a “lunch rut.” Fortunately, with a few small tweaks you can take your mid-day meal from disinteresting to delightful!

If you’re tired of turkey sandwiches, try…

Grilled Turkey Reuben Wraps!

The traditional corned beef and sauerkraut deli sandwich, the Reuben, gets a modern update as a wrap. Homemade Russian dressing and Libby’s® Sauerkraut give it extra punch – use leftover roasted turkey in place of the deli turkey, if you desire.

If you need a change from Chicken Caesar Salad, try…

Kale and Black Bean Salad with Avocado-Caesar Dressing!

This salad is packed with super foods to keep you going all day long. Libby’s® Organic Black Beans provide the protein, kale covers the vitamins, and avocado has the healthy fats!

If you can’t stop snacking, try…

Sweet Pea Dip!

Many people find themselves munching throughout the day instead of eating a real meal at lunch-time. Surround yourself with convenient and healthy snacks. Just a few simple ingredients like Libby’s® Sweet Peas and fresh lemon juice create this delicious, quick dip, perfect for dunking fresh veggies and pita wedges!

Flavors of Fall

With September underway, the leaves on the trees will soon begin changing and temperatures will drop! That means that the home cook can move from the grill, where he or she has been stationed all summer, back inside to warm up with some comforting Fall flavors. The ultimate Fall recipes that we bring back into rotation after a summer at the grill are warm and delicious soups.

On a crisp Fall day, nothing is easier to make or more satisfying to eat than the cool weather favorite: soup. And with so many variations, it’s the perfect recipe to make in big batches and stock up the freezer for the chilly days that will soon be upon us. 

Here are some of our favorite recipes to try as the cooler weather comes around:

If you’re in the mood for a creamy soup with an unexpected crunchy garnish, try the Slow Cooker Butternut Squash Soup with Maple Roasted Garbanzo Beans.

For a heartier recipe that highlights Fall vegetables, the Vegetable Sausage Soup is perfect.

Finally, if you are looking for a spicier recipe where chicken and legumes are the star, the SW Chicken Soup is our go-to.
