Cooler temps are on their way, and that means you need some seasonal healthy and quick meals in your life! Read on to find out the 40+ autumn comfort meal ideas you will use and re-use in September.


Fall is finally here! Well, it depends on when you are reading this and where you are in the world, but for those of you who love fall, like I do, I think you’ll appreciate me acknowledging that September signals the start of all things fall!

What is better than spending time in the kitchen as the temperature starts to drop in fall? For me, nothing.

Homemade pizza can involve the whole family with everyone choosing their favorite toppings. It's a Friday night tradition!

Autumn comfort food is essential this time of year. Apples. Pumpkin. Soup. Casseroles. Mmmmm!

So grab a pen and paper and start writing down a list of meals you want to make this month. You need these recipes in your life!

Wake up to a warm and comforting breakfast of bananas and steel cut oats!

Tried-and-True Meal Ideas for September

The recipes I am sharing below are ones that I love to make in September. I have made most of them at least once, but there are a few that I have never made but really want to soon.

Any recipe with a link is one that we love at our house. The ones with asterisks and links are recipes I’ve been meaning to try and haven’t yet. The recipe ideas without a link are ones we like but don’t have a specific recipe we follow.

One caveat, some of these recipes technically aren’t “healthy.” Use your own discretion. If it’s a muffin, it’s probably not healthy, unless it’s made without sugar.

Keep your own list of favorite/must-try recipes for every month of the year. September meal ideas are autumn comfort food at its finest!
