Comfort food season is here! And no, I’m not talking about pumpkin spice, although I’m sure I’ll cave soon enough – but let’s start the season with savory favorites. Fall food is rustic and imperfect, and I’m ready to embrace every last bit of it.

Roasted red peppers, sweet onions, & spicy sausage are one of my top cozy pairings, and I just can’t get enough lately. This is the healthy alternative to stuffing peppers & sausage in bread loaves or on top of spaghetti. It’s up to you if you top your healthyish stew with gorgeous crunchy croutons, but I say yes.

This stew would fit in just as perfectly at a forest campsite as it does in your home kitchen. It’s heavy on the Italian flavors thanks to fresh basil & garlic, but sometimes you don’t need to mess with the classics, you know?

This also freezes & reheats well, so don’t be afraid to make an extra-big batch to save for busy fall weekends!
