The onset of slightly cooler temperatures in Charlotte has me feeling way too excited for fall. Bring on pumpkin-flavored everything, apple cider, beautiful leaves and crisp, chilly autumn air! I am ready!
With cooler temperatures comes warm, comforting dinners in our house. When it’s 90 degrees outside, it can be hard to get excited about soup or chili or hearty crock pot meals, but now that fall is nearly upon is, homemade soups and stews will surely become a staple in our house. And when I can incorporate some seasonal flavors into the mix, that’s all the better!
Butternut squash is a personal favorite. It’s a slightly sweet, nutty-tasting squash packed with fiber, potassium, vitamin A and vitamin E. It’s absolutely delicious and wonderfully comforting when pureed into a homemade soup.
This soup is full of vegetables and absolutely bursting with fall flavor. Preparing this soup will make your house smell like Thanksgiving!
This fall, Silk is encouraging everyone to participate in a #MeatlessMondayNight challenge and this recipe falls into that category in a delicious way! It’s vegan and dairy-free, but still quite creamy and satisfying. Pair it with a side salad and you have a tasty meatless meal that simply screams fall!
