It happens every year. First, we can’t bear the thought of the sweet, lazy, blissful, hot Summer days to leave us. But as those days start to disappear, the cool, crisp air of Fall arrives, and pretty soon, we’re in love. There’s nothing quite like a brisk Fall day to capture the excitement of back to school, football, upcoming holidays, and of course, cooler weather (which is quite welcomed after a long, hot summer). Not only does Fall bring about a change in the weather, but also it brings a change in the menu. Fall foods are some of the most beloved of the year, and they bring with them memories of warmth, joy, fun, and happiness. Fall foods are rich, seasonal, and fresh, and they make for some of the most memorable dishes of the entire year. So let’s take a step into the foods of this stellar season and see what makes Fall foods so delectable.
Two of the most popular foods in the Fall are pumpkin and apple, which also happen to be two of the sweetest, most flavorful fruits (yes, pumpkin is a fruit, although it is often treated as a vegetable). These two fruits are often used in pies, muffins, breads, and cakes during this time of year, and they are an excellent addition to any baked good as they provide moisture and flavor to the recipe without all the fat. Pumpkin and apple pies have some of the lowest fat and refined sugar levels out of many popular desserts, and they are packed with vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber. Reducing overall fat and refined sugar intake is particularly important for heart health and weight maintenance as these two factors create higher risk for obesity, heart disease, heart attack and stroke. So don’t be afraid to try that baked good recipe with a healthy serving of apples or pumpkins, and enjoy those Fall fruits to satisfy your sugar cravings in a natural way.
Hot, hearty dishes such as soups, stews, chilies, casseroles, and macaroni dishes that are popular in Fall when the weather turns cool and the sweaters and jackets come out are actually perfectly balanced meals. Most of these dishes contain optimal amounts of protein, carbs, and fats, and they offer a balance of lean proteins, whole grains, and vegetables. It’s really important to eat a balanced diet as your body needs all three forms of calories (proteins, fats, and carbs) to run efficiently.
Just thinking of Fall with its cool air, energy-charged atmosphere, and absolutely delicious flavors makes anyone wish for its quick return. The foods enjoyed in the Fall are unlike any other, and they capture the season to perfection. So the next time you’re in the mood to relive the long, crisp days of Fall or want to get the season started off right, check out some Fall recipes that utilize the flavors of the season. These recipes are sure to have you reaching for your jeans, sweaters, and jackets in no time, and they will also bring about memories of the happy, joyful, undeniably special days of Fall.
