Tips for Cooking in the Fall

✔ Slow Cooking: Use slow cookers or braising techniques for stews, soups, and roasts to enhance flavors and tenderness.
✔ Bake with Autumn Flavors: Experiment with baking recipes that include ingredients like apples, pumpkins, and pecans.
✔ Roast Vegetables: Roasting brings out the natural sweetness of fall vegetables, making them a perfect side dish.
✔ Comfort Foods: Focus on making comfort foods like casseroles, pot pies, and hearty pasta dishes that warm you up on cooler days.
✔ Preserve the Harvest: Try canning or pickling to preserve the bounty of fall fruits and vegetables for use throughout the winter.
✔ Enhance with Garlic and Herbs: Use garlic, rosemary, thyme, and sage to add aromatic layers to your dishes.
