It’s been such a crazy year of weather here in Minnesota. The winter was actually insane, we didn’t have much of a Spring, and Summer has just been bizarre. It’s usually hot and humid here in the North during the summer months, but temps have been steadily in the 70’s with little to no humidity. It even drops below 60 at night which is rare for a Minnesota summer.
I definitely have mixed feelings about fall. I’m excited for all of my favorite fall activities and foods, but knowing that winter will be here in a blink of an eye kinda scares me! Nonetheless, fall is one of my favorite times of year. Colorful leaves give me goosebumps and I love sweaters and boots 
Like I did for summer, I thought I would round up some of my favorite FFF recipes for fall so that you can start the school year on a healthy note! PS: I have the reoccurring dream, where I ended up being 1 class short and I never actually graduated college. Gulp. Good thing it’s just a dream.
Soup and chili are the heart and soul of my fall diet. I love that you can throw a whole bunch of stuff in a pot, add some spices, and call it a meal!
