Tis the season for pumpkins and fall and Thanksgiving and autumn leaves, and…rain… But honestly, a quick teriyaki dinner is perfect year round. This Fresh Pineapple Teriyaki Chicken will bring a little sunshine and warmth to your autumn days.
Dinner
Crockpot Butternut Squash Turkey Chili
I absolutely love chili. In the cold, darker months, I love how hearty, spicy, sweet and yummy chili is. I also really love squash. Winter squash is amazingly multi-purpose and you can toss it an endless amount of things. It brings with it a unique sweetness, and some hearty vegetable. This Crockpot Butternut Squash Turkey Chili is a lazy way to enjoy the rain and cool air while staying cozy at home.
Quick Waldorf Salad
I eat salads almost religiously for lunch Monday through Friday. It’s not forced though. The truth is, I love salads. I’ll blame my mom for this – she has a salad recipe arsenal that would satisfy any craving. I do sometimes get bored of a certain kind of salad, so I like to mix things up and make something different every now and then. And given the produce currently in season, I’ll probably be eating this super quick waldorf salad for the next month!
20 Minute Lentil Soup
Ah, the cool rainy (and sometimes sunny) days of Oregon fall have finally arrived. As much as I love the warmth of summer, the cooler months encourage me to relax and enjoy the simple pleasures a little but more. One of those simple pleasures is soup. This 20 Minute Lentil Soup is perfect for a crisp, cozy weeknight.
Easy Braised Chicken
It finally feels like fall. There are so many things to love and enjoy about the cooler temperatures, but what I’m looking forward to is using my stove and oven more! Not only do I enjoy cooking, but I also like how it helps heat up my apartment and make it feel warm and cozy. This easy braised chicken dish is perfect for just that.
