I’ve grown a lot in a year’s time, and for the better. Fall recipes have always been some of my favorites to create, and I know so many of you look forward to them as well.

My Nonnie loved fall too, and I think that makes this time of year even more special to me. She made every day of fall sparkle with seasonal decor, family dinners, and nights snuggled up in their warm home. I get so much inspiration from her, and I think my recipes reflect that.

Over the next few months, I’ll be pulling in so many of these reader-favorite recipes while in addition sharing plenty of new ones. I never want to forget about the classics we all love, but I’m equally excited to bring fresh inspiration into your kitchens this season.

When it comes to cooking in September, I focus on what feels nourishing, warm, and seasonal: big fall salads filled with apples, crockpot dinners, a chili or two, and fresh-baked beer bread. Apple butter, apple cider doughnuts, apple cakes, and so many more recipes I’m excited to share. So here we go Best Recipes to Cook in September.

I hope you find a few old favorites and plenty of new ones to make all month long. Broccoli Cheddar Chicken and Rice Casserole, kind of like broccoli cheddar soup meets cozy weeknight casserole…made in one pot in under an hour…healthy-ish, easy and delicious!

Seasonal spaghetti squash stuffed with a spicy chicken, tomato-based ragu sauce and creamy cheese béchamel sauce made with fresh ricotta and provolone cheese. Turning a classic French recipe into an easy slow cooker meal using white wine, creamy Dijon mustard, fresh herbs, parmesan cheese, and vibrant kale for veggies and color. Seasonal autumn butternut squash, roasted with fresh herbs, shallots, and garlic, all pureed into a creamy vodka sauce, then with finished off with salty prosciutto bread crumbs, creating a dish that’s vibrant and so delicious!

It’s creamy, spicy, filled with veggies, lean chicken, and ramen noodles. All the best produce that fall has to offer combined into one big beautiful salad. Healthy, simple and delicious, this salad is sure to become a new fall staple!

A skillet baked apple pancake infused with cinnamon and vanilla, made with both baked and fresh apples, and finished up with an addictingly good cinnamon butter maple syrup. This is the ultimate fall breakfast for your family, friends, or even yourself!
