Autumn is a time to get back into the kitchen. Grilling and salad season is over and it’s time for some recipes for fall. Our bodies begin to crave warm, comforting foods and the smells of baking spices. As the air turns crisp, our cooking turns toward foods that can provide the body with extra fuel. And we look for foods with the heat to keep the chilled air from creeping into our bones.

Although our site features many easy fall recipes suitable for a romantic dinner during this changing season, there are a few stand-outs that have remained reader favorites. Whether you’re planning a special night for two, or just trying to get something taste bud tickling onto the table, there’s a recipe in our five most popular fall recipes that is sure to catch your eye.
