12 Farmers' Market Recipes To Try That Make The Most Out Of Fall's Finest Fresh Produce
Fall is by far the best season for food. Our favorite seasonal pumpkin-flavored products return to the shelves, and colder weather means that comfort food is prized above all. Not to mention, the fall farmers' market is rife with gorgeous vegetables, squash, and more. From butternut squash to crispy kale, fresh autumn veggies will put you in the fall mood better than a pumpkin spice latte ever could. The changing leaves mean it’s time to re-introduce comforting soups and stews to our dinner tables, and cooler temperatures make us all the more eager to turn our ovens back on after a long, hot summer. What better way to celebrate the season than through food?
From fresh, autumnal pizzas to the prettiest salad we’ve ever seen, these fall meals won't just keep you satisfied — they'll help you get the most out of your farmers' market haul or CSA share. There is no limit to how many enticing dishes you can make with the vast array of fresh produce that this season has to offer. Think beyond the pumpkin pie and cranberry sauce, and bring some autumn to your kitchen with these 12 delicious seasonal dishes.
