As we transition into fall, we can’t forget about all of the delicious plants that fall brings to our plates. To transition standard meals into fall-inspired plates, simply switch out ingredients for fall favorites. We enjoy this mushroom stroganoff, simply switching out the beef for hearty, comforting mushrooms.

Here’s a recipe that works great for both the fall and winter as it incorporates the classic fall sweet potato but also a well-known winter ingredient: chestnuts. If you run an Italian restaurant, switching your standard gnocchi over to a sweet potato gnocchi or adding on sweet potato gnocchi to your menu will make for a simple transition to a fall-friendly menu.

Adjusting your meal’s carbs doesn’t need to be solely for Italian restaurants! If you serve pad thai, you can do the same by simply switching your pad thai noodles over to sweet potato noodles. We enjoy this recipe because it includes additional fall ingredients – corn, brussels and kale!
