One thing we talk about with regards to healthy eating for older adults is eating in-season fruits and vegetables. This is key not only to eating nutrient dense foods but also to staying within budget. Quinn Vandt wrote out a great calendar<\/a> of in-season produce. We’re only going to talk about a few today.<\/p>\n

Beef casserole cooked in a slow cooker<\/p><\/div>\n

Pumpkins<\/h4>\n

Squash is usually out of season by the time fall rolls around, but pumpkins are in-season! They’re great for fall cooking, and if you have any four-legged friends, they can be great for homemade dog treats as well. Pumpkin is good for doggie skin.<\/p>\n

Apples<\/h4>\n

I have a confession: I am a fall apple fiend. I grew up in a region with a lot of apple orchards. Apples of various varieties are in-season in Kentucky in the fall months. They’re great in both sweet and savory fall dishes.<\/p>\n

Carrots<\/h4>\n

Carrots are another thing that are great in fall stews and soups, as well as salads. They’re in season here in Kentucky starting this month as well.<\/p>\n

Of course, this is not an exhaustive list. What are your favorite items of fall produce?<\/p>\n
