Healthy, Hearty Autumn Dishes to Delight Your Family in Thanet 🍁

As the darker, colder autumn months approach, it’s easy to crave comfort foods. However, opting for healthier options can keep energy levels high and help you stay fit through the season. Embrace the local, seasonal ingredients that Thanet has to offer and prepare delicious, nourishing meals for your family.

Three Quick Tips for Healthy Autumn Meals

1. Stews

Stews are an ideal low-fuss, nutritious meal option for autumn. Combine your preferred protein and local, in-season vegetables like butternut squash, parsnips, and potatoes in a slow cooker for a delicious dish. Adding chickpeas or lentils can boost the meal’s protein and fibre content.

2. Pies

A homemade pie is a quintessential comfort food. The British Heart Foundation suggests swapping shortcrust pastry for lighter filo pastry or using a mashed vegetable topping to reduce fat and salt. Opt for fish fillings rich in omega-3 fatty acids to support immune health.

3. Fruit Puddings

Apples and pears are plentiful during autumn in Thanet and make perfect ingredients for a warm dessert. Try a fruit crumble with oats and cinnamon or baked pears with honey. Serve with a dollop of natural yoghurt for a nutritious finish.
