Hand-Picked Tips

When changing out seasonal clothes this year, take an opportunity to clean out your pantry as well as your closets. Give your pantry a makeover in just a few easy steps. Create a positive food environment that enhances meal planning by having key ingredients on hand and balanced snack options. As autumn sets in, diets trend away from lighter meals towards heartier dishes made with rich and colorful harvest vegetables.

Pumpkins, a winter squash, are rightfully celebrated on National Pumpkin Day, October 26^th. While typically praised for their decorative value, edible pumpkins have endless possibilities in the kitchen. Pumpkin happens to be a valuable ingredient for nutrition, taste, and texture.

Apples also go hand-in-hand with the fall season. It makes perfect sense that National Apple Month is celebrated in October. With a range of flavors from super-sweet to tart, there is an apple for every taste, along with a multitude of ways to enjoy this popular fruit. After all, “an apple a day keeps the doctor away.” October always goes out with a bang with Halloween. On a holiday where candy and sweets seem to overwhelm, it is important to always provide balance and boundaries. As always, enjoy all the foods the season has to offer.
