While you might think that haunted houses, cornfield mazes and horror movies are the only things you need to be scared of this month, I have something that is probably spookier than all of those things combined: how unhealthy some of your favorite fall dishes really are.
Okay, so maybe I’m being a little over dramatic; but truth is comfort food comes with a cost. While I do agree that the holidays are all about indulging, and that you should often partake in “treating yo self,” I also am a firm believer in cutting back where you can. While swapping out your grandma’s secret casserole recipe for a more lean alternative this season may seem like a scare-fest, I promise you it can be easy (and delicious)! So without further ado, here are some guilt free fall recipes that you can savor all month long.
Pumpkin Pancakes– I honestly never thought I would see healthy and pancakes in the same sentence, but here we are.
Butternut Squash Chili– Because nothing says comfort food like a good bowl of chili.
Sweet Potato Casserole– Yes, it is possible to eat sweet potato casserole without an entire bag of marshmallows on top.
Mashed Cauliflower—For those of you trying to cut back on your carb intake and/or try out a new food, this recipe is the PERFECT swap for mashed potatoes!
Clean Pumpkin Spice Latte—This one’s for my #GuruGang, because I know our coffee obsession
