Fall has officially arrived! The days are shorter, the mornings are becoming brisk, and the evenings are almost chilly. Time to pull out your favorite sweater and take a trip to the farmers’ market for fall food and decorations.

However, there are other types of veggies in season now as well. How about some root vegetables?
Roasted mixed root vegetables are delicious and easy to prepare. Just peel and cut root vegetables into similar-size pieces, then toss with olive oil, salt and pepper.

This is also a good time to enjoy leafy greens like kale. Try Kale Salad with Avocado Orange Dressing or Sweet Potato and Kale Casserole.
And cabbage. Try Roasted Cabbage Wedges.
