Anne in Anne of Green Gables put it best: “I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.” The month of October means some of the best things of the year, like crisp cool mornings contrasted with hot coffee, pumpkin carving, harvest carnivals, fall-scented candles, and best of all, cozy comfort foods.

Use these three fall-inspired recipes to build up the feeling of comfort in your home.

Cheese Tortellini Soup with Spinach and Ground Turkey

This soup is so warming and deliciously satisfying that it’s likely to become a weekly staple in your household during the cooler months.

Butternut Squash Hummus

This savory, nutty, slightly sweet hummus is edible fall in a dish. A must to take along to any harvest party or potluck.

Homemade Chili Powder

Chili is an absolute must in the fall, but scrap that stale chili powder that’s been in the pantry for months (maybe even years) and opt for this freshly ground version to impart a deep, enticing layer of flavor. (Also makes a great hostess gift for the fall and winter months.)
