Can you believe it is officially fall time? Fall always feels like a fresh start, but let’s be honest, it’s also one of the busiest times of year. Between school drop-offs, sports practices, keeping up with my travel work, walking the dog, and trying to keep the house from looking like a tornado just passed through, there isn’t a whole lot of extra time.
Some days it feels like I blink and suddenly it’s bedtime.
That’s why I love leaning into seasonal foods that are not only healthy but also simple to use in everyday meals.
Fall superfoods like pumpkin, sweet potatoes, apples, and squash are total lifesavers. They’re nutrient-packed, kid-approved, and they can be worked into quick weeknight dinners or easy snacks without adding stress to my already packed schedule.
Here are some of my go-to favorites this season, with ideas that actually work for busy moms like us.
