Hello September! Okay, summer technically isn’t over until September 22nd, so we’ve got plenty of time for patio season, grilling, and stocking up on as many fresh berries as possible. At the same time, I think it’s only fitting that we start making cozy recipes with delicious fall flavors. PUMPKIN ANYONE?
To kick off the month (of course) I’ve rounded up 30 amazing, seasonal recipes for cooking in September. September is pretty much the best of both worlds, which is why you’ll find a mix of summer and fall recipes here. Is it chaotic? Sure, but these recipes are delicious and that’s all that matters.
What is in season in September?
In addition to stocking up on (and maybe freezing) your last summer produce, get ready for fall by picking up some fresh:
These healthy recipes are the perfect combination of fresh and comforting—you’ll find hearty salads and one-pan meals, plus plenty of snacks and baked goods to kick off fall. Get ready to get the last zucchinis in your garden, then don’t forget to go to your apple orchard to get them to your table as soon as possible.
If you make any of these recipes, be sure to leave a comment and let me know how you liked it! Take a picture and share it in our Facebook group or on Instagram with #ambitiouskitchen. Enjoy, xo!
