How to Eat Clean in the Fall

Fall is wonderful time to eat clean. As it is generally considered harvest season, there is an abundance of fresh produce to base your meals on. This can really help with healthy eating on a budget.

The move towards colder weather also makes it a great season for eating soups and stews. The best part is these nourishing meals can be easily made in the crock pot or instant pot which can save you a ton of time in the kitchen.

Another way to save time in the kitchen by batch cooking some of these recipes. Essentially you just make more than you need so that you don’t have to cook again later.

This includes chopping veggies ahead of time for meals you plan to make later the week, as well as making double and triple portions. This saves so much time and makes it easier when you go to make dinner.

I’ll show you how to do this in the Busy Mom Meal Prep!

Cook once, eat the rest of the week!
