21 Autumn Recipes You Need in Your Life

The weather is chilly, Halloween is over, and I am in full Autumn mode. I love putting on a big sweater, lighting my favorite candle, and bundling up on the couch. This year, though, sitting on the couch is a pretty common thing (thanks, COVID-19). When I’m sitting at home, it’s easy to be lazy. However, there have been a few days that I’ve been able to get up and learn something new. Cooking has become a new hobby! So, without further ado, here are my favorite autumn recipes to make the perfect fall foods!

Chicken

• In this recipe, you pretty much just gather every fall food you can think of and throw it into a casserole. The textures look incredible.
• I love honey mustard chicken (especially when it’s cold outside) and this recipe looks divine. Bonus points for being a one-pan dish!
