Tips for Easy and Efficient Prep:
- Use October’s harvest—pumpkin, squash, sweet potatoes, and Brussels sprouts roast beautifully and can be cooked in large batches for the week.
- Make soups, stews, or chili in a slow cooker or Instant Pot. Portion and freeze extras for quick, hearty meals on busy days.
- Prep breakfasts ahead: overnight oats, breakfast burritos, or muffins flavored with cinnamon, nutmeg, and apple make mornings simpler.
