Life With Fall Foods

Spaghetti Squash

Life with Fall Foods is about so much more than just food:

• It’s about learning seasonal healthy diet habits.

• It’s about learning to take comfort in healthy soups and stir fries, rather than holiday baking and candy that is so prevalent at this time of year.

• It’s about dusting off your crock-pot and creatively cooking stews full of seasonal vegetables.

• It’s about choosing some new and interesting fall produce that you may have never tried before. Butternut, acorn, and spaghetti squash can provide such delicious meals that are kid friendly.

• It could be about developing a new hobby that involves canning the last of the fall produce, or dehydrating those freshly picked apples.

• It’s about keeping your weight under control with fresh seasonal food, rather than watching your weight creep up from one too many holiday indulgences.

The seasonal approach to life is not a new idea, but one that our grandparents lived by out of necessity. It’s not a necessity for us today. It’s just less complicated in this busy world that we live in!
