What to eat for dinner in the fall?

In 2023, one survey from ValuePenguin concluded that fall is most American’s favorite season. Participants said they enjoyed Halloween activities like visiting pumpkin patches, dressing up in costumes, and trick-or-treating. And in 2020, another survey from Stuffed Puffs revealed that more than half of Americans feel happiest in fall when the leaves are changing and there is a chill in the air.

For many people, eating more comforting, cozy meals goes hand in hand with the changing leaves. September is often dubbed the start of soup season, for example, and it’s also a great time to start stocking up on seasonal foods. Butternut squash, pumpkin, sweet potato, apples, carrots, and parsnips are all quintessential fall ingredients that are as nourishing as they are tasty.
