Healthy Recipes for Fall - These 21 healthy recipes for fall are just the thing to help you transition from summer.

Summer always seems like the time everyone is thinking about eating healthy. Maybe it’s because we tend to cook less in the summer, not wanting to turn on our ovens when the temperatures are soaring. Maybe it’s because there’s so much great produce at the markets that we can’t help but get in more vegetables than usual. Or maybe it’s because we tend to be showing off a little more skin in the summer.

Most likely it’s a combination of all three, though lately I’ve been finding myself holding on to those habits as the weather cools down as well. (OK, maybe not the clothing thing, but to be fair, it is still going to be hot in Texas until November.) Minimal cooking and lots of flavor plus more veggies equals a lot of win in my game.

Now, on to the recipes! These are really great for fall because they use produce that’s easily available, such as carrots, Brussels sprouts, and cauliflower. Other ingredients are items that I always have on hand, like frozen broccoli and chickpeas! Try a few for your next meal.
