Savor the Season With Martha’s Coziest Fall Recipes

As the leaves start to turn and crunch beneath our feet, we know that the long, hot days of summer are finally turning into the cool, crisp beginnings of fall. Back-to-school activities and jam-packed schedules make pulling together meals more harried and stressful.

To help ease the transition back into routines and busier nights, we've gathered easy, delicious, and healthy ideas for every meal of the day that make the most of this season's produce—tomatoes, berries, apples, pumpkin, squash, and more. Many recipes, like our selection of hearty breakfasts, can be prepped on the weekend for grab-and-go moments throughout the week. Our power lunch sandwich, soup, and salad ideas travel well and will be the talk of the office. They're a great way to save money (no last-minute drive-though runs!) and make the most of seasonal flavors.

Dinners couldn't be easier—our selection of speedy one-pan meals and cozy soups gives everyone something to look forward to at the end of the day, while keeping dishes and cleanup to a minimum. We hope these fall recipes fill you with comfort as we transition through another season.
