Now that it’s officially Fall, what are some of the first things that come to your mind? Cooler temps, cozy fires, the leaves changing colors, apple picking…?
For us, we automatically think of all the tasty flavors of fall and the warm, comforting dishes that usually arrive with the cooler mornings, breezy days, and chilly nights. There are certain flavors that people love to eat this time of year, but those flavors are usually found in unhealthy, sugar and calorie packed recipes.
