Autumn Meal Ideas

It’s October and officially Autumn. There’s a definite chill in the air, the lawn is damp in the mornings and my sandals have been packed away until next year {sob}. I spent a bit of time pulling together some meal ideas for my Autumn Meal Plans {which I’ll start sharing again!}. It’s time to think about warming soups, spicy chilis and lots of roasted root veg. I love to have a ‘master list’ of meal ideas – it makes filling out the meal planner each week so much easier. I could spend hours drooling over food on Pinterest – only problem is, it’s usually the middle of the night when I do this, and then I struggle to sleep as I’m hungry! Here are a few of my favourite meal ideas for this Autumn.

30-minute Roasted Garlic Cauliflower Chowder – this sounds delicious, and is speedy so perfect for those nights when all the kiddos have groups!

Shredded Chicken Chili – we love Chili, and I love the idea of a chicken version for a change!

Vegan Shepherd’s Pie – while I do eat meat these days, I try not to eat it every day, and this vegan shepherd’s pie sounds delicious

Cheesy Pumpkin Pasta – Pasta is always a winner, and cheese and pumpkin sounds like a perfect combination

Sausage, cheddar and mushroom Pasta bake – this would be good, as I could make it earlier in the day ready to bake in the evening.

One pot, Autumn Chicken Dinner – one pot dishes are always good – and how tasty does this look?

And I love roasted veg – this Roast Beetroot and Sweet Potato might be my new favourite side dish to have with every meal!!
