As the temperature cools and we start to pull out our favorite cozy gear—it’s officially time to whip up some delish comfort food that will warm you up from the inside out. The downside? That cozy, comfy food isn’t exactly light and tends to be calorie rich. While we’d never permanently cross any food off our list of eats, we love to make recipes that pack in the flavor and warmth of our fav autumnal recipes that are loaded with good-for-you ingredients that fuel our journeys forward.
A true rival to a one-pan dinner, the slow cooker has earned top bill in terms of dinnertime simplicity. Balsamic vinegar, maple syrup and a surprising Dijon moment all work overtime (8 hours to be exact) to create a warm and complex roast that is as simple as it is refined.
Any recipe that makes clean up an absolute breeze gets a special spot on our weekly dinner rotation, but this dish manages to marry a lemony brightness with a cozy and rich bite that will warm you up without the heaviness of a traditional roasted chicken dinner.
We love this recipe because it’s loaded with veggies and hits on all the cheesy, Italian-inspired flavors and you’ll love this recipe because you can make it ahead of time and freeze it for a fresh dinner in a snap. Win/win.
Listen, we’re not here to tell you what to do—but we are here to strongly recommend adding a new recipe to your Breakfast for Dinner repertoire. A great place to start? These fall-forward Pumpkin Pie Protein Pancakes. This easy, pumpkin pie dupe is basically a hop, skip and a flapjack away from Dessert for Dinner.
Chicken Pot Pie lovers, rejoice. We’ve got a shockingly easy dupe that is ready in under an hour and forgoes the crust—but trust us, you won’t miss it. All the flavors of the tradish dish are here and ready to tickle your tastebuds accordingly.
