It’s autumn and we’re all about comfort food this time of year so we gathered the 21+ Best Healthy Fall Comfort Food Recipes to enjoy delicious, comforting food and stay healthy! They are so delicious!
Hey there, friends! Happy Fall. Tomorrow is the first day of October and the start of the fourth quarter of 2018. This year flew by. Seriously. I feel like I blinked and we went from winter to fall. There are so many things that I wanted to accomplish this year so these last 90 days are going to be lit. Fall is also my favorite time to cook. The food is so incredible. There’s nothing I like more than curling up with a big bowl of soup, a blanket, and a good movie. As much as I love summer, fall food is really the best. Well, fall is wonderful in general. I feel refreshed in the fall. I guess it was those 20+ years of starting a new school year that’s programmed me in to start anew.
The fresh, crisp air. The pots of chili and soup. The breezes and falling leaves. The incredible desserts. And, all of the comfort food. What’s not to love about autumn?
