It’s that time of the year again, autumn is in full swing and trick-or-treating is just around the corner. Take a minute to ask yourself: what is on your plate? Whether you will be attending festivities or not, now is a great time to try something new.
If you are looking for something that captures the natural flavors of autumn, try making rosemary - pumpkin seed brittle. If your brittle is too sweet, don’t forget that you can always compliment it with some sea salt sprinkled on top. If you would like to add some more protein to your snack, the almonds in these pumpkin spice granola cups combined with oats make these yogurt cups a game-changer for fiber! You can also customize them to your liking with colorful fruit or candy.
If you are looking for something more savory, why not challenge yourself to make a more classic carrot soup? Carrots are not only vitamin-packed, but the recipe is perfect for those who adhere to a vegetarian diet. For best results, use a blender! This time of year, we all know it may be difficult to keep calories low. If calories matter to you, these cheese & spinach stuffed portobellos are only 196 calories per serving.
For a complimentary dessert, these candy corn gelatin cups are definitely an eye-catcher! Or if you are brave enough to fry, why not try these fried apple pie rolls? While fried foods may not be as healthy, there is a silver lining in the fact that coconut oil contains Vitamin E. Like most semester finals, holidays often include an underlying sensation of stress, especially when faced with busy schedules. This crockpot spiced cider will not only make your place of living a center of aromatherapy, but it might also serve to remind you that all things take time.
This season, don’t forget to take some time for yourself to enjoy what Autumn’s pantry has to offer. From the Himmelfarb Library, we wish you a safe and Happy Halloween, Dia de los Muertos, and a most cozy Autumn to all!
