17 Comfy and Cozy Healthy Fall Recipes

Hey everyone, it's Jeremy here and I have something to get off of my chest...

I hate summer. Okay, hate is a strong word. I strongly dislike summer.

What does summer have to offer? Bugs, pit stains, lack of air conditioning, crowded beaches, construction, my car being preheated to 400°F at all times, sweat in general, and did I mention SO MUCH construction?

I just REALLY prefer fall. I mean what is there not to love? We've got crunchy leaves, jeans, PSLs, hot coffee, soup, orange trees, and Halloween. A major yes, please!

Fall is the season of change, and I can already feel it happening. My current life might be a crazy mess but I totally am walking hand in hand with fall through it all. So let's cheers to a season of gratitude, positivity, and most importantly, YUMMY FOOD.
