Your Trading Cardio for Cosmos Guide to Fall Produce (33 Recipes with
SmartPoints!)

I love Fall.

 I love the crisp air, fresh apples, getting to wear scarves, football, knee-high boots, three-quarter sleeve
dresses, the pumpkin spice smells filling the air? I think I got it from my mother, but Fall is officially my
season, and that love even extends to the Fall produce filling up our farmers' market. But Fall produce is not as
simple as plucking a cherry tomato or a sugar snap pea off the vine and eating it. Most require roasting or
baking, which can be tricky if you're not familiar with the item. Because my love of Fall also extends to all of
you embracing the season, I've gone ahead and put together a list of my favorite fall produce items, and some

awesome healthy recipes on how you can use them!

 ] Beets When I was a kid, beets were bright purple and came in a can. We ate them warmed up, though I know a lot of other
kids might've eaten them cold or in salad. Beets were not a culinary highlight of my childhood. But now beets are a favorite
of mine! I buy them whole from the farmers market, then roast them (skins on) with olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic in a
tinfoil pouch. After 45 minutes at 375, they are fork tender and the skins slide right off. Here are a few other healthy beer

 ] Kale If you follow my blog "Trading Cardio for Cosmos" then you know I am obsessed with kale. Seriously, I even wrote ?
An Ode to Kale? once!] I like baby kale raw in salads, or mature kale sautéed with other veggies for egg white omelettes, or
sautéed with garlic and onion for a savory side dish. Kale is a lot like other leafy greens, but it tends to retain its texture
better when cooked. No wimpy spinach here! Here are some other kale recipes I love: Avocado Toast with Lemon & Kale] 8
SmartPoints Kale Bulgur Salad] 3 SmartPoints Rigatoni with Sausage & Kale] 8 SmartPoints Kale & Potato Soup with Turkey
Sausage] 5 SmartPoints Kale with Bacon & Cannellini Beans] 4 SmartPoints

 ] Brussel Sprouts Brussels sprouts are a lot like tiny, baby cabbages, and unless you really cook them well, they kind of taste
like tiny, baby cabbages, too. My favorite ways to make brussels sprouts are either to steam them until fork tender and then
dress with lemon juice and fresh chives, or cut in half and see year, then cook down in chicken stock like risotto until fork
tender. Here are some other fun recipes for these tiny, baby cabbages: Roasted Spicy Brussel Sprouts] 1 SmartPoint Sauteed
Brussel Sprouts] 1 SmartPoint Roasted Brussel Sprouts with a Maple-Balsamic Drizzle] 3 SmartPoints Sauteed Brussel Sprouts
with Apples] 2 SmartPoints Brussel Sprouts with Bacon & Shallots] 3 SmartPoints

 ] Pumpkin Pumpkin is one of those things you either love or you feel is terribly overexposed. I personally don't eat a lot of
pumpkin, and don't tell Starbucks but I don't like pumpkin spice lattes either! I do like the simple one can of pumpkin
purée, one egg white and one box of spice cake mix made into cupcakes. You just follow the cooking instructions on the box,
but they are lower in fat than traditional cupcakes. However, if you are obsessed with all things pumpkin, here are a few
recipes that use pumpkin in suite and in savory dishes: Pumpkin Pie Pastry Pockets] 6 SmartPoints Hearty Vegetarian
Pumpkin Chili 5 SmartPoints Pumpkin Alfredo Tortellini Skillet 10 SmartPoints Whole Wheat Pumpkin Pancakes] 8
SmartPoints Pumpkin Spice Cake Mix Muffins] 5 SmartPoints

 Parsnips] Legend has it that Mr. Big once cut off the tip of his fingertip cutting a parsnip, and that is why they are banned
from our house. I wasn't around for this infamous occasion, so I like to roast parsnips, carrots, cauliflower and broccoli with
red onion, fresh rosemary, a little olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper for a half hour at 350° or until fork tender. If that doesn't
suit you, why not try one of these parsnip recipes: Smoky Parsnip Fries 6 SmartPoints Roasted Carrots & Parsnips ] 3
SmartPoints Sage & Garlic-Infused Parsnip Puree] 7 SmartPoints

 Mushrooms] I did not eat mushrooms until I was about 26. No kidding. Something about the consistency and the fact that
they were a fungus really turned me off. Now I eat mushrooms every day, so maybe your tastebuds really do change with
age! Normally I add mushrooms and yellow onion to sautéed kale and fresh herbs for veggie egg white omelettes. I also like
to sauté mushrooms stems with kale and onion and turkey bacon and stuff them into mushroom caps. Once you bake the
mushroom caps for about 20 minutes, they are the perfect bite sized snack! You can also cook with mushrooms using one of
these recipes: Portobello Eggs Benedict] 4 SmartPoints Mushroom Risotto 8 SmartPoints
