What recipes to cook in September

It's officially September! The beginning of the fall season is creeping upon us, and as the Starbucks menu begins to introduce its fall drinks, I'm starting to introduce more fall flavours into my weekly meal prep. Check out my top fall recipes here. It's still pretty warm outside, so this post includes the best transition meals between the summer and fall.

Since it's also back to school season, I've also made sure to include a bunch of meal prep recipes that you can enjoy on the go! If you try any of the recipes for yourself, make sure to tag me on Instagram so I can see your recreations!

Breakfast recipes for September

Start your mornings off right with the most important meal of the day – breakfast! September is synonymous with back to school, which means our mornings are much busier than they were in the summer. To accommodate to your busy schedule, I've listed two delicious meal prep breakfast options for this month – one sweet and one savoury! And if you're an avid fan of Starbucks' fall menu, then you're in luck! I've also included two of my favourite Starbucks copycat recipes that are PERFECT for the fall time – the pumpkin cream cold brew and spinach feta wraps.

Lunch recipes for September

Whether you're in between classes or juggling back to back meetings, you'll want to enjoy a delicious low maintenance lunch. What is a low maintenance lunch? A dish that you can prepare in advance and doesn't require too much work to enjoy.

All of the lunch options that I've listed for September are meal prep friendly and they use my favourite meal prep container: mason jars! Mason jars are the perfect no spill solution for soup and the perfect storing containers for salads and snacks!

Besides the mason jar lunches, I've also included another fan favourite lunch option – the healthy bento box lunch recipes made 5 ways!

Dinner recipes for September 

After a long day at school or work the last thing you want to do is break a sweat in the kitchen. The longer the day, the more tempting takeout looks – it's a fact. The best way to combat this temptation is by preparing as many of your ingredients ahead of time: check out my How To Food Prep blog post!

Take easy dinners to the next level by making easy, weeknight dinners that come together easily using some of the best fall ingredients. Some of my favourite weeknight dinners basically make themselves in one skillet, sheet pan or slow cooker. Note: Make sure not to leave your slow cooker unattended. Below are some of my favourite easy, weeknight dinners to try in September!
