October is here already, somehow! We’ve been soaking up the crisp mornings and warm, sunny days. Our now two-year-old Grace loves to dine outside, so we usually eat in our screened porch. Yesterday morning, we enjoyed breakfast at the park. I’m definitely looking forward to a cozy fall and the holidays, but I might love these glorious days in between seasons the most.
As the weather cools down, let’s mark the time with warm apple crisp, hearty chili, and wholesome pumpkin bread. You’ll find more seasonal recipes to enjoy below, and I have a full line-up of new recipes coming your way this fall!
Apples
Healthy Apple Muffins
Easily gluten free and easily vegan (see notes)
“Made them this morning with one Granny Smith and one Macintosh. Your recipe is fantastic! The rose so well, made a beautiful crust and were nice and tender inside. Taste was great!” – Pierre
Beets
Colorful Beet Salad with Carrot, Quinoa & Spinach
Gluten free and vegan
“This could be THE best salad I have ever made. I have a vegan friend who I am always trying to find interesting recipes for and she also loved it. I made it exactly as per your recipe apart from adding a mixture of toasted almond flakes and pumpkins seeds.” – Heather
Broccoli
Broccoli, Cheddar & Quinoa Gratin
Gluten free
“This was so good! I’ve been trying to find one dish recipes that can also feed baby and this was perfect! I was almost too lazy to make the breadcrumbs but I’m so glad I did because it was simple and and so worth it! I also used a bit of cauliflower because I had it and it was good in there too. I think I’m going to make this again and bring it to Easter! It’s a perfect healthier version of a classic!” – Stephanie
Cabbage
Hot Pink Coconut Slaw
Gluten free and vegan
“This was delicious! We devoured it all. Our 3-year-old even said “Num, num!” and she is not usually a huge cabbage fan.” – Amanda
Carrots
Creamy Thai Carrot Sweet Potato Soup
Gluten free and vegan
“Today was our first cool day for the season. When I stepped outside for my morning walk I knew I would be making this soup for dinner. It was so good. Thanks so much for choosing to share this tasty recipe. I can’t wait to get Angela’s new cookbook.” – Cathy
Cauliflower
Mediterranean Cauliflower Rice
Gluten free and vegan
“I’ve never had cauliflower rice before, but a Google search took me to this recipe, which I made tonight. It was absolutely delicious and I have enough leftovers to use as a side dish tomorrow night I highly recommend it!” – Deirdre
Corn
Fresh Black Bean Salad
Gluten free and vegan
“I made this when we were on vacation this summer, and we had it with tostadas as chips to scoop it up. My ten-year-old son said “best dinner ever!” It was scrumptious. I’ve made it a couple times now, and I love having it on hand in the fridge for snacks or easy meals. Yum! Delish and very fresh testing!” – E
Cucumber
Fattoush Salad with Mint Dressing
Easily vegan
“This is SO delicious I absolutely love how all the flavors work together & that mint dressing is incredibly yummy! Thanks Kate & Cookie!” – Colleen
Eggplant
The Best Ratatouille
Gluten free and vegan (just depends on your accompaniments)
“I was totally blown away by this Ratatouille recipe…so simple with so much flavor! I picked this particular recipe because I have a basil plant that went into overload so I have an abundance of basil and wanted to use it up before the season runs out on us. I totally underestimated the power of “roasting”! Thank you so much!!” – Dessa
Fennel
Spring Carrot, Radish and Quinoa Salad with Herbed Avocado
Gluten free and easily vegan
“I LOVED this salad! Made it twice in one week. I skipped the honey in the dressing and used pumpkin seeds in stead. Great combination of favors and textures. This salad made me a follower of your recipes!” – Lisa
Grapes
Roasted Grape Crostini with Brie and Fresh Thyme
Just vegetarian
I need you to try these crostini and let me know how you like them!
That’s my only recipe with grapes so far. More to come.
Hardy greens (arugula,
chard, collard greens & spinach)
Mexican Green Salad with Jalapeño-Cilantro Dressing
Gluten free and easily vegan
“This Mexican salad is absolutely delicious! The dressing is to die for. Even my 26 year old son who is not a big salad eater really enjoyed it and even took some home with him. He especially liked the dressing. I added two cups of cooked quinoa to make it a little more filling as well as some fresh corn I needed to use up. I have been eating it all week for lunch and it is just perfect. I used a rather large jalapeno but removed the seeds etc and the dressing is not too spicy but has a little kick to it.” – Annika
Kale
Mediterranean Roasted Sweet Potato & Farro Salad
Easily vegan
“I made this for supper tonight, and I love it! There might not be leftovers for tomorrow’s lunch. My grocery store didn’t have sumac, but I’ll have to get some for next time, because I’m definitely making it again!” – Emilie
Melons
Watermelon Salad with Herbed Yogurt Sauce
Gluten free and easily vegan
“Wonderful refreshing summer lunch. I used an English cucumber. I was surprised how much I liked the pickled shallots. I’ll make again as long as watermelon is in season.” – Allison
More watermelon recipes » (also cantaloupe and these honeydew margaritas)
Mushrooms
Arugula and Cremini Quiche with Gluten-Free Almond Meal Crust
Gluten free
“You just won my meat-eating friends over with this quiche! They’re going to be running over to C+K now for recipes! Thanks again for another hit! It’s so easy to be a “chef” with these fail proof recipes!” – Deepthi
Pears
Pear, Raspberry and Goat Cheese Crostini
Just vegetarian
“This morning I was frantically running around the kitchen in desperate search for a healthy lunch to pack. So you saved me! It took me 4 minutes to prep all of this and take it to-go. Now I’m sitting quietly at my desk waiting for lunch time. Is it here yet?” – Sylvia

Thank you, Brooklyn!
Lisa | Garlic + Zest
What a beautiful list of recipes for October — I love how fresh and enticing you’ve made everything! Just gorgeous photos and mouthwatering combinations! It’s 10 in the morning and my stomach is now grumbling!
Kate
Success! :) Thank you, Lisa!
2pots2cook
You are very creative. Thank you for the ideas ! Photos are great, too !
Kate
Thank you! :)
Megha
Amazing collection of recipes. Loved all of them!
Kate
Thanks, Megha!
Cassie
Beets, cauliflower, carrots, cabbage, cucumbers, pumpkin, bell peppers, squash, sweet potatoes, eggplant and mushrooms are my faves!
Maja Harder
I would really love to cook more with beet root as well – you have some great ideas, I will definitely try!
Michelle
Amazing recipes! The watermelon mimosa looks incredible even without a review! :)
Lindsey of This Miss Cooks
I love that you made the nutritional information available but not in your face. I honestly just prefer to eat real, whole foods and listen to when I’m full and only look at nutritional information to make sure I’m getting enough B12 (which I’m notoriously low on) and iron (since I donate blood regularly).
Sue Schneider
I love your posts, they are clearly from someone who actually cooks!
I have been baking, cooking and in Food Management for 25 + years.
While pondering retirement I would like to start my next chapter. Thinking of testing recipes for cookbook authors. Not really sure how to get started, any ideas?
Thank you!
Kate
Hi Sue, I’m sorry for the slow response! I know that there are professional recipe testers out there, and it sounds like a fun freelance job. You might join the IACP—their online forums and conferences are great resources.
Melanie
I love that your What to Cook series serves as a recipe round up and update on all things you’re interested in.
It’s so interesting to hear your VivalitiDNA news! We have all sorts of genetic predispositions but it is totally possible to change our future through healthy eating! Your outlook on that is what inspired me a year and a half ago to incorporate more plants. I’m now a whole year into a vegetarian/plant-based diet :)
I’m also trying to dive into natural skincare and makeup but I don’t know where to begin! Thanks for the website suggestion and I hope to hear about what products you like. ♥
Kate
Thank you so much, Melanie! Really happy to hear that my work has inspired you to eat more veggies! I’ll be sure to share my new skincare favorites in next month’s roundup. :)
Tori//Gringalicious.com
Omg, Kate! Thanks for sharing these because I seriously want to try them all.
Lena
Fantastic post, as per usual! I am really curious about your experience with Vivaliti-it looks fascinating, and I’m thinking about purchasing a kit. Would you recommend it??
Kate
Thank you, Lena! I’m sorry for the slow response, I’ve been behind on comments lately. I thought the Vivaliti results were very interesting (and unexpected). They provide quite a bit of detail. The phone call to discuss the results was helpful, too. I struggle when I ask myself if I would want to know that the odds were stacked against me if I were, for example, trying to lose weight. But, I love health/nutrition/research, so it was super interesting to me. I know we’re just beginning to understand how genetics and our environment interact, and I’m sure that these tests will continue to evolve and offer more accurate and insightful information over the years to come.
Lori
This has nothing to do with your post, but I had to tell you anyway! I had some strawberries languishing in the fridge, so I roasted them (in your cookbook) and had them with baguettes and brie and basil. So good! Thank you!
Kate
Yum! Now I want roasted strawberries! :)
Amanda
LOVE Mushrooms! I tried out the Arugula and Cremini Quiche minus the almond crust (had to substitute due to allergies) and it was AMAZING! And of course, the potatoes. I made the breakfast potatoes as a sub for hash browns in a Full English Breakfast over the weekend. Wonderful!
Kate
Thanks, Amanda! Sounds like you’ve been enjoying some epic breakfasts lately! I’ll try to publish more mushroom recipes for you soon.
Mary Richhart
Love your recipes thank you, once again vegetarian!
Kate
You are welcome, Mary!
Amanda Dee
Love your recipes, super delicious. Especially that everything fits my family needs. We are gluten free soy free thank you!
Kate
You’re welcome, Amanda!
Healthy Kitchen 101
Such an amazing list! At first, I’m going to try the Creamy Thai Carrot Sweet Potato Soup for my flu xo
– Natalie
Kate
Oh no! Feel better. Soup usually helps me.
Giselle
I’d be interested in freezer meals like the link that you included from you. :)
Kate
Thanks Giselle! I will think about doing one. I don’t freeze all my recipes, but I think my enchiladas and lasagna would be good choices, as would my lentil soup and quinoa soup.
Cassie Thuvan Tran
Ooh, I have been slaving away with sweet potatoes, carrots, peppers, pumpkin, and all the leafy greens I can get my hands on! Not to mention–onions and garlic with everything. EVERYTHING. LOL!
Amy
Soup is the fist thing came to my mind, when i was reading your note.
Also, i would like to learn some food with different squashes.
Emily
I love getting your fall/October list every year. It reminds me of what is coming into season! It all looks so delicious.
Rimmy
wow, amazing! How can I resist such colorful and flavorful dishes? You are the inspiration for me to start a vegetarian.
Kathleen Clarke
Hi Kate, I have used your Granola recipe ever since I got your book last year. But today I made a smoothie bowl and changed it up to banana and blueberries with my granola as a topping and a few of my own home grown grapes. Delicious.
Megan

Long, long time follower
What does Cookie think of her new sister?!
Kate
Thank you! She is curious, but so great with her.
Kerry Wilson
Your recipe selections have enhanced my repertoire, which was getting boring. Thank you. My husband and I are enjoying more variety in our meals. Contrary to popular belief, food prep for vegetarian is not overly onerous. I plan a few menus for the week, shop accordingly, and cook dinner while listening to the radio. My cholesterol level has gone down since eating mostly vegetarian. Life is good!
Kate
I’m glad they are helpful for you, Kerry!
Susan Simon
Very happy to get this email and even happier to hear about the arrival of your beautiful daughter, Grace! Congratulations to you and your husband! Hope Cookie thinks she is wonderful too. Your recipes are just wonderful… they all look great. Take care, and once again, congratulations!
Kate
Thank you, Susan!

I ALWAYS love your recipes and use your cookbook more often than any other I own – even though we are not vegetarian.

Thanks, Kate!

Kate
Thank you, Paula!
Sharon Elizabeth
Congratulations on Grace’s birth! I am the mother of four and grandmother of three, and I love to see life renewing itself through our children. <3
These recipes look fantastic – I have lost over thirty pounds the past several months by going to a mainly plant-based diet, and your recipes have made it an enjoyable journey. I have not felt deprived at all. I still have an abundance of kale in my garden and looking forward to using that up before the snow flies here in Maine.
Kate
Thank you! I’m trying to soak it all up. She is wonderful.

Congratulations! Best wishes xoxo

Kate
Thank you, HW!
Andrea Schneider
I just discovered your announcement about the birth of Grace so you already made MY day I will have to tell a friend, who has a daughter named Grace (age four as of the beginning of the month), about her. I am sending you, as well as your entire family, an outpouring of congratulations❣ Your baby daughter is adorable and I know you will bring each other a lifetime of love, laughter, and precious memories Thank you so much for the above list of “October” recipes (I especially appreciate gluten free dishes as there are two family members who have Celiac disease).
Kate
Thank you, Andrea!
Andrea Schneider
You are most welcome, Kate❣ My ten-year-old son, Liam (my only child), will be ecstatic to see that photo of baby Grace*❣ By the way, I hope she will have the opportunity to meet “Teo Martin” soon…I had written to Ali that Liam wishes he was old enough to be their baby’s babysitter❣ I think using most emojis in this type of message does not work or I would have added a *huge smiley face (it seems that the ones I used in my prior comment to you are not showing so I apologize that it seemed as if punctuation marks are missing). Best wishes to your entire family from Long Island, NY❣
Kate
Thank you, Andrea! :)
Vickie

Margot
Grace is a beautiful baby! I’m glad she’s here and that whatever stress and fears you had are over. Not that having a newborn isn’t stressful. My advice is to trust your gut, use common sense and avoid others’ advice. :)

Oh my goodness! Congratulations! Grace is gorgeous! <3 I'm delighted that she's here and that you get 10 bonus days with her.
I've been following your blog for several years and am always recommending it to my friends because everything I've made has been outstanding, though I'm ashamed to say I've never taken the time to comment. Please forgive me. It took seeing a picture of your "latest creation" and my love for mamas and babies to get me to be brave enough to comment. She's so lovely, and I hope your experience with motherhood is nothing short of amazing.
Thank you, thank you for all your hard work in producing such consistently wonderful recipes. I'll try to do better with commenting and rating the things I make in the future.
Kate
Thank you on all fronts! I appreciate your kind words, Trish.
