The cool breeze of autumn not only inspires us to wear sweaters but also to make some cozy meals to keep warm. Here are some of my favorite dishes that are needed on a chilly day!
Butternut Squash Soup
Over fall break, my mom made the most delicious butternut squash soup. Topping it with chives and sour cream brings even more flavor into the mixture. Doesn’t this sound like the staple fall meal?
Chicken Pot Pie
Chicken pot pie is another fall favorite of mine that only requires a few ingredients and a bit of chopping. It combines chicken and vegetables in a stew-like mixture topped with puff pastry. Creamy and mouth-watering, it is a classic dish that is made perfectly in individual portions.
Stuffed Peppers
Another recipe that comes to mind is stuffed peppers filled with ground beef, tomato sauce, rice and cheese. On TikTok, many can be seen cutting a little jack-o’-lantern face into the side of the pepper to make it Halloween-themed. So adorable!
Hashbrown Casserole
Hashbrown casserole offers an excellent combination of soft and crunchy. Using only a few ingredients including potatoes and sour cream, create the base. Then, top with cornflakes. It is one of the best foods to bring to a party because it is so easy to make.
Apple Cider or Chai
Apple cider is the perfect drink that is sweet with a slight spice to accompany any of these dishes. After a chilly day outside, you can even heat it up in the microwave to warm you up! Another option is chai, a sweet and milky tea with notes of cinnamon and black pepper.
Spiced, Warm Desserts
Pumpkin pie and cinnamon rolls are some dessert ideas to finish off the meal. And of course, I had to include Taylor Swift’s chai sugar cookies that contain fall spices and warm vanilla, buttery tastes. What’s better than that?
Enjoy any of these cozy fall foods and the rest of your fall season!
