Cooking Games and Fall Foods


While there is certainly not a rule about the best foods for fall, it’s commonly accepted that the fall cooking games are ones that provide hot, hearty foods for the colder days. As the days cool off, the meals heat up in a big way. Some of the best cooking games for fall include:

Chili – Hearty, meat-filled and nutritious, chili is a great staple in the fall. It is a meal in itself, but can be used as a supplement to other meals as well. Top a baked potato with a ladleful of chili. Take your chili and crumble some cornbread on top. Add some beans and cheese to give you extra flavor.

Soups – Hot soups are a hearty meal option in the fall that will help you warm up from the inside out. The soups are filling, but they aren’t as heavy as some other options in the fall.

Pie – Hot pie is good all year long, but some of the richer pies are best in the fall. Pumpkin pie, pecan pie and various meat and berry pies are delicious in the fall. The warm pies topped with cream are easily the favorite fall cooking games.
