Fall is setting in and I seem to be finding myself spending more time in the kitchen than those busy summer months. Here are a few of my go-to meals and snacks to keep my family healthy and satisfied as we approach a new season.

The Classic Beef Roast

This is a simple home-cooked meal that pairs well with mashed potatoes, vegetables, and the cooler months.

1. Preheat oven the to 400 degrees.
2. Place 3-4 lbs. (thawed) roast, uncovered, into Dutch oven. Add 1 inch of water to the bottom of the pan. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic.
3. Put roast, uncovered, into oven for 1 hour.
4. After 1 hour, cover roast and lower oven temperature to 220 degrees.
5. Cook roast for 3-4 more hours.

Tip: I like to add turmeric as well. Turmeric has amazing health benefits. It aids in digestion, detoxifies the liver, and reduces inflammation – just to name a few!

Dinner on the Fly: Burgers

Our pre-pattied burgers are perfect when I didn’t take the time to think about or prepare something for the day’s dinner.

1. Just take them out of the freezer and pull apart the frozen patties.
2. Toss them on the grill and enjoy with a salad.

Tip: I absolutely love, Primal Kitchen’s Thousand Island dressing. I make a lettuce salad with tomatoes, red onions, cheese, and pickles. Top it with a burger and some Primal Kitchen Thousand Island dressing – Healthiest version of the Big Mac!

Sheet Nachos

These are Reese’s favorite!

1. Place your chips on a baking sheet. Siete Cassava flour chips are our family’s go-to gluten-free chip.
2. Top your chips with fried onions, peppers, jalapenos, cheese, cucumbers, tomatoes and Spring Cut ground beef.

Tip: Prepare taco meat ahead of time and freeze for quick meals.

Date Night In: Steak

Our Spring Cut steak pairs nicely with quinoa and a fresh veggie for the perfect date night in.

1. Remove steak from the freezer and allow to thaw.
2. Grill Spring Cut steak and enjoy!

Tip: Steak leftovers are a favorite at our house. Pair with our pasture-raised scrambled eggs the next day for breakfast.
