8 Healthy Recipes for Fall

Fall is one of my favorite times of year for a variety of reasons, but fall food is definitely in the top three reasons!

When the weather starts to get cooler, I find myself in the kitchen wanting to bake or cook. It can be a tough time to stay on track with health goals because I want to eat all of the yummy comfort foods. The good news is that there are so many recipes out there that are both healthy (lower calories/points) and comforting. Here is a roundup of fall recipes.

 

This recipe is healthy and deliciously tasty.
