Ease Into Fall Cooking

After a lazy hazy summer of easy cooking it's time to get serious,With cooler temps means more cooking.The transition , though doesn't have to be cataclysmic. You can ease into fall cooking and baking with some easy dishes every one will like.

Even if you've been creating nothing but salads and barbecues for the past three months you can still bounce back with a delicious home cooked meal. One of the easiest is meat loaf. This is simple enough to make.All it requires is ground beef, minced onion , eggs milk and bread crumbs. If you want some variation spice it up with some chili or curry powder. A simple roasted chicken or turkey breast is another easy dinner choice. Serve with Stove Top stuffing and mixed veggies. Make enough so that you have leftovers for sandwiches or a hot lunch the next day.

Pasta is another easy dish to cook up. There's nothing like coming home to a hot plate of spaghetti or penne with a homemade sauce. If you're a tad more adventurous make meatballs which again are pretty easy to whip up. (think meat loaf in ball form). With the sauce , use the tomatoes from your garden harvest for a fresher , more healthier sauce.  Want something  different? Then try tacos. They  are not only fun but super simple to make. Use any of the kits that come with the taco shells and spices. Then cook up either pork, beef or  chicken for filling along with chopped tomatoes and lettuce for decoaration..

Easing into fall cooking is a snap. You can create delicious and simple meals with only a few recipes. It's a great way of getting prepared for the season of heavy cooking ahead.
