Fall Produce Guide for Menu Planning

Here it is already into November, and I have to say that I meant to share this Fall Produce Guide for menu planning a while back. We have actually been getting some chilly evenings and mornings. Boots and sweater season is coming, I just know it!

While we do not get all the beautiful fall foliage here in southern California, I do hope to catch some of the beautiful changing colors of autumn on my next trip to the east coast. I think that the oranges, yellows, and browns are simply breathtaking. I love the sound of leaves crunching beneath me.

If you have been here a while, you know that I love celebrating each season and the foods that come with each one. Some of my favorites recipes are my Sweet Baked Butternut Squash, Mini Apple Tarts and Pumpkin everything!

 

I also love Billberries/blueberries in pretty much anything. Pears are terrific in casseroles and fall salads as are shallots, tomatoes, cucumber and Kale. Paired with a homemade salad dressing and you also have a nice side dish for the holidays.

The Fall produce in season may vary a little depending on where you live, but having a plan when you shop helps you save time and money. It is also a great way to savor the season with fruits and vegetables that are not always at their peak.

Print out this free Fall Produce list and use it to make the most of the produce available right now. There is a spot on this menu planning printable for you to jot down some dinner ideas, side dishes and even some desserts to change things up a bit!
