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.

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.
