Easy Fall Recipes

Have you been waiting to break in the kitchen in your new home? As the weather cools down, it’s the perfect time to take a stab at a home-cooked meal. Try these easy and delicious recipes that are sure to warm you up and impress your guests this fall.

Chicken and Dumplings

Soup tends to come to mind when you think of a hearty, fall meal. Chicken and dumplings are perfect if you’re craving something creamy, chewy, and comforting. Sure, you can buy soup in a can, but making it from scratch guarantees much more flavor paired with light and airy dumplings.

The recipe calls for homemade dumplings, but store-bought biscuits are nearly identical and can save lots of time. Using a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store is another great hack for saving time without sacrificing any taste. Full recipe can be found on The Cozy Cook’s website.

There are very few ingredients needed and most of them are typically household staples. You can use almost any cut of red meat and it’ll turn out tender and juicy every time.

You might be thinking, “homemade chocolate chip cookies do not sound easy”, but this recipe doesn’t require much prep time, any chilling, or a mixer. It creates the perfect-looking and tasting cookie every time, and you can keep them on hand in the freezer for future baking.

If you’re feeling ambitious, try the brown butter method for a rich, nuttier taste:

1. Melt a stick of unsalted butter in a pan on medium heat, stirring occasionally.
2. Once the butter starts to form brown flakes, immediately remove from the heat and pour into a heat-safe bowl.
3. Allow the butter to cool to room temperature before adding additional ingredients.
