It’s finally here. The season that turns so many of us into sweater-loving, PSL-chugging, scarf-styling champions of crunching leaves. That’s right, today marks the first day of fall. And as is customary here at Love With Food, we’re here to remind you of the best part about the whole season: The food. Duh. Fall is all about food that makes you feel warm and cozy inside while it’s getting colder outside. Here are some of the classic falls foods (and maybe a few out-of-the-box ideas) to get you going.
