With the first day of fall a mere five days away, we’re waiting with bated breath for the season’s first leaves to take their annual plunge so that we can bust out our scarves, boots, trench coats and sweaters. Despite how much we’d love to start piling on the layers, though, it’s not officially autumn until a crisp, cool breeze fills the air and the temperature drops well below 65°F. It is called sweater weather, after all, and pit stains have yet to become the next controversial fashion trend—although stranger things have happened (like a literal banana showing up to the Emmy ).
Fortunately, if you’re ready to embrace soup season with open arms, you don’t have to wait for the weather to change to begin incorporating fall flavors into your rotation of seasonally appropriate weeknight meals. Dishes like apple cider braised lamb shanks , maple miso carrots and brown butter sage roasted butternut squash take center stage, and along with their warm, comforting taste, usually comes plenty of additional leftovers. Sure, you could host dinner parties to help mitigate any lingering morsels of food, but hosting parties every week may not be the most practical option.
The next best option is to use the leftovers as meal prep, and of course, Aldi has you covered.
