Fall into the Flavors of the Season

November 2020

Warm your home and hearts this fall by cooking healthy, seasonal meals for the family! Nutrition.gov has recipes and cooking tips to help you bring out the flavors of fall fruits and vegetables. Get inspired to spend time in the kitchen with these ideas:

• Add fall produce to your breakfast and snacks. Start the day with Pumpkin Pancakes or Applesauce French Toast, or power up while working or learning at home with these Apple Nachos and Crunchy Chickpea Snacks!
• Try a healthier cookie. Fit fruits and veggies into sweet treats that the family will love. These Healthy Carrot Cake Cookies are perfect for the fall season. Not a carrot lover? These Banana Oatmeal Cookies are another kid-friendly option!
• Celebrate November foods! November is Squash and Spinach Month and Sweet Potato Awareness Month. Bring these foods to your table this month with recipes like Baked Acorn Squash with Apples, Roasted Root Vegetables, or Peanutty African Stew.
• Warm up while staying in. Try a soup recipe! Nutrition.gov’s Vegetable Soup, Lentil Soup, and Broccoli Potato Soup recipes are a healthy addition to any meal.
