It's that time again! We are beginning to enter the chilly months of Fall, right before winter. Where the days end sooner, and the weather gets colder. It's the season for warm sweaters, comfy boots and scarves. All of which I love, because Fall is by far, my favorite season. There's Halloween, my favorite holiday, my birthday, Thanksgiving and beginning of the Holiday season. And my favorite part of this time of year is, course, cozying up with some warm and comforting fall recipes. That's why I thought this Meatless Monday I would post some delicious, comforting and meatless fall recipes that will make even the biggest skeptic of Fall warm and cozy.
The recipes are divided into three categories; pumpkin and apple recipes because they are some of the most popular fall flavors of the season (I'm a bit of a pumpkin addict). And the last categories is comprised of soups, because when the weather gets chilly, there is nothing more inexpensive, easy and comforting than coming home to a big pot of soup on the stove for dinner.
All recipes are labeled with our nutrition icons to indicate if the recipe is Vegetarian, or Vegan.
Don't feel like cooking? Don't sweat it, let IC Dining cook for you! In addition to loads of festive fall recipes, I will also be posting what cozy fall specialties can be found right on campus and in the dining halls!
Best of all, because it is Meatless Monday all these delicious dishes are meat-free!
