Post # 12 - 3 Comfort Recipes I Come Back to Every Fall

Posted under: Food & Enjoyment | The Full Life Edit

When the air turns crisp, I don’t crave complicated meals.

I want cozy. I want familiar. I want the kind of food that warms you from the inside out.

These are my three go-to comfort recipes every autumn — nothing fancy, just simple, reliable, and full of flavor.

🥣 

1. Butternut Squash Soup

Smooth, sweet, and just a little spicy with a pinch of chili flakes. I roast the squash first for extra depth, then blend it with vegetable stock, onion, and a swirl of cream.

Comfort factor: Feels like wrapping yourself in a blanket — but in a bowl.

🍏 

2. Cinnamon Apple Crisp

Warm baked apples topped with a crunchy oat and brown sugar crumble. Best served with vanilla ice cream melting over the top.

Comfort factor: The smell alone is enough to make the whole house feel like fall.

🍄 

3. Creamy Mushroom Pasta

Earthy mushrooms sautéed in butter and garlic, tossed with cream and fresh herbs, then swirled into pasta.

Comfort factor: Rich and indulgent without being complicated.

Why These Matter to Me

These recipes aren’t about impressing anyone. They’re about nourishment and nostalgia — small, edible reminders that slowing down has its own flavor.
