Must Have Fall Foods

As the weather starts to get colder, there are some foods that you definitely need to check out and start including in your fall menus...
- Parsnips - They are part of the carrot family and they are a delicious addition to any meal! You can roast or steam them and consider sweetening with a little pure maple syrup.
- Apples - Enjoy homemade applesauce this fall. It's so simple and very tasty! It's so sweet it can even make a great dessert. Here is my quick recipe: Prep 9 apples (washing them, remove the cores, and cut into quarters). Place in a large cooking pot with 1/2 cup of water. Bring the water to a boil and them turn to low heat and simmer for about 10 minutes. Mash the apples and serve warm or cold. Note: you can remove the skin of the apples but leaving the skin on, adds great flavor!
- Sweet Potatoes - Swap out plain old potatoes for sweet potatoes! In fact, try making sweet potato fries. Scrub the potatoes. Slice into thin strips, place on a baking sheet, and drizzle with olive oil. Bake at 425 degrees for about 30 minutes, or until crispy!
