Fall Recipe Ideas

If you are a gardener or just love to by fresh, then here are several fall recipe ideas to use up all your harvest. You now have lots of tomatoes, squash, pumpkins, peppers, fruits and more just sitting on any available table space, windowsill and pantries.

Now is the time to start using these up on some fun fall recipes before you give all your hard work away to neighbors, friends, family and even sales people who happen to stop by.

So what can you make with all your goodies from the garden? Check out these recipe ideas for some tasty and healthy recipes for this fall. You can make breads, jams, casseroles and so much more with your veggies and fruits.


Fall Recipe Idea #1

Salsa

veggies Fresh salsa is a bit hit for fall.  Use up all those tomatoes and add some of your colorful yellow, red and green peppers in a spicy yet delicious salsa. Add some of your onions, garlic, parsley or some of your other favorite ingredients.



You can even add some of your yellow corn, jalapeno peppers or more.  Salsa is great with chips, smothered over your favorite Mexican dish or anything you want to give a little kick and flavor. 

Salsa makes a perfect party dish or while watching your favorite sport or movie on the television.  Depending on the peppers you have planted you can make a Mexican salsa as well as a simple tomato salsa. If you choose to can salsa make sure you follow a recipe that is tried and sure to keep the acid out of your salsa.



Fall Recipe Idea #2

Sweet Potato Dishes Galore

Sweet potatoes have great nutritional benefits. The sweet potato is rich in vitamin A and C and other minerals. This food is a high anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory food that you should add to your meals anytime of the year. Try making a sweet potato pie or just bake them.

These sweet tasting potatoes don't need any additions to taste good, so leave off the butter and sour cream to make it healthier.  This root also makes wonderful custards, casseroles and stews. It keeps fairly well if kept in dark places. Once is has become woody, it is no longer good for use.


Fall Recipe Ideas #3

Zucchini Recipes

If you planted zucchinis then you probably have more than you know what to do with. Try making a zucchini boat. Just slice the zucchini open, scoop out a bit of the middle then add some flavorful, fun and healthy toppings.

You can use ground turkey (be sure to cook it first) some fat free or low fat cheese, add some seasonings and it's ready to bake. If the weather is still warm these cook up nice on the grill as well.

Of course there is the old favorite stand by zucchini bread. Who doesn't love this tasty treat during the fall? You can freeze this vegetable and use it all winter long in breads and potato pancakes by adding zucchini to these favorite fall recipes.


Fall Recipe Ideas #4

Decorate with Squash & Gourds

Okay, these are not exactly fall recipes but this is a fun way to use up some of your garden fresh foods. Squash and gourds can be used as decoration in your home or yard.  If you’ve harvested them you will know that they are everywhere in the fall. Take some fall flowers (mums are particularly hardy), squash and gourds and make table decorations from them. Of course you can prepare and freeze squash for winter use.

If you have more than you need for decoration, try using up the squash for a nice healthy lasagna. Just slice the squash thinly and lay this out in your baking dish. Add all the normal lasagna ingredients and then bake. This makes a typically high in carbs meal a low carb healthy alternative.


Fall Recipe Idea #5

Hash It Out!

Hash was one of those meals my grandmother always made in the fall with the veggies they had left over after canning. It was a hodge podge of many different veggies, meats and even some fruits.
Try adding some apples, sweet potatoes or butternut squash for a fun sweet taste to your hash recipe. You can also make this a vegetarian dish and fore go the meat. Try dicing up some beets with fresh potatoes and add this to your pot roast in the crock pot. Use your grandma's recipe and add your own twist to it from your garden.


Fall Recipe Ideas #6

Apples, Apples and more Apples

Of course the typical urban gardener may not have a large apple orchid, but maybe you have at least one tree. If you do, then you know just how many apples you can get and will want ways to use all these up. Try making some applesauce. This flavorful recipe will make your house smell delicious and the kids will eat it up.

Of course with Thanksgiving not too far away try making an apple pie and place it in the freezer. Then just bring it out on Thanksgiving and heat it up a bit and it's ready to serve. Other great apple recipes include cobblers, jams and butters, apple crisps and more. You can even make dried apple chips for a great tasty healthy snack for you and the kids.

Be sure to can some of your applesauce or apple slices for later use in the year. Here are several apple smoothies recipes you can try to use up all those delicious apples. This is a PDF file and a free gift to you as a thanks for dropping by for a visit.
