With fall upon us, we’ll unfortunately soon be saying goodbye to all the (literally and figuratively) juicy produce that summer graces us with. No more summer squash, no more tart berries, and absolutely no more sweet tomatoes. Sad! But that doesn’t mean fall has nothing to offer. We see you making your way downtown, butternut squash; you too, mushrooms! Fall is all about using this produce to make cozy, comforting dishes we want to curl up on the couch with, and lucky for us, many of them are also easy to make without sacrificing flavor. So if you’re looking to spend more time in the kitchen this season, buckle up! We’ve got eight easy fall dinner recipes everyone can make, whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned pro.
