10 Favorite Fall Recipes to Make All Season Long

October 19, 2023 by Marilena Leavitt 3 Comments

10 Favorite Fall Recipes

Fall.  The beginning of the new season is full of exciting possibilities in the kitchen.  This is the time of the year that some favorite summer produce are still abundantly available at the markets, while at the same time, earthy root vegetables, hearty winter squash and braising greens are coming into their prime.  In addition, apples and pears make for welcome additions to our fruit baskets and lunch boxes.

With the change of the season, we welcome fall’s slower pace and start to crave comforting foods for those chilly, rainy days that lie ahead.  Happily, there are so many dishes that I look forward to revisit at this time every year!

For this post, I have put together a list of 10 Favorite Fall Recipes that I wanted to share with you.  From hearty breakfasts, comforting warm soups, a delicious, roasted pork tenderloin dish, to a couple of easy desserts flavored with warm spices, this list has something for everyone.

I hope you give some of these recipes a try, and, that they will become staples in your cold-weather recipe rotation as well.  Happy cooking and happy sharing!

    Do you have an actual hard copy cookbook?
    I LOVE your recipes and gorgeous photos – works of art. And every dish is different!! I mean, the actual dishes you put your food on. You must hound antique shops for the old-fashioned beautiful ones. Simply a joy to behold – seriously! You have a gift which beautifully exhibits your passion. And let’s be honest – food is every Greek’s passion. My father was a chef – but his relationship to food was really a love affair.

      Thank you so much for your kind words, Eleni, I am so glad you like my recipes and my photography.
      No, I don’t have a hard copy cookbook. My photos and recipes are all shared here on the blog for now. Thank you for noticing all the different dishes I use for my shots…. I am always looking for old and vintage props to use for my photography! I am running out of space for storing all my props and all my finds, but this is not going to stop me:)
