Here Are 5 Go-To Weeknight Autumn Recipes.

Butternut Squash and Asparagus Risotto

This might be one of the most searched recipes on my blog. With all of the flavors of fall, it’s a perfect weeknight meal that takes less than an hour to prepare. I’m from the school of stirring the risotto until the rice is tender, and I use this time to decompress while I’m cooking. The cubes of butternut squash add a sweetness that pairs perfectly with the asparagus.

With all of the Korean-style ingredients, the recipe combines sweet and savory all at the same time. Who doesn’t like someone else, or in this case, a crockpot, doing the cooking for you.

Homemade Marinara Sauce Over Spaghetti

Because pasta alone should be its own food group. I do try to cut down on sugar and carbs, but on a cheat day, I eat spaghetti. I love it. And my homemade marinara sauce is easy. I use my quick tip of simmering a parmesan rind in the sauce to really give the sauce that cheesy, nutty flavor that only parmesan cheese can give. Pair this dish with a green salad, and you’re golden.
