We’ve decided to discontinue our partnership with Wildtree.  While we are still a fan of the company and its products, we feel we can offer our gluten-free audience healthy, affordable solutions and inspiration for fulfilling meals, cooking classes, and experiences more tailored to its interests apart from being an affiliate of the organization. We hope you’ll continue to find the products, meal solutions, and inspired recipes we’ve shared from their website – welcome additions to your kitchen and family’s table.

Hello Sweet and Savory Comforting Fall Food Recipes

The air is crisp, the leaves are turning, and it is starting to feel like Fall. With the change of seasons, it’s only natural to head for the kitchen that beckons us to cook cozy and comforting fall foods, eat pumpkin in every way we can imagine, and include squash and root vegetables in fall dinners and harvest feasts.

This month’s Fall Flavors October Cooking Collection makes that easy!

You’ll find healthy, clean-eating recipes perfect for October (although they are suitable for making in November, too). Get ready to eat the yummiest Pumpkin Cheesecake Truffles and comforting fall foods like Butternut Squash and Mushroom Chicken Pot Pie, and have some fun in the kitchen, too!

Note: The recipes in this collection include Several Wildtree seasonings and spice blends that we love and are unaffiliated with. However, you can always substitute any similar favorites you may already have in stock.

This month you'll find a delicious variety of Fall foods for meals to warm you up all month long.

Breakfast:

OMG!! Pumpkin Oat Breakfast Bars! Thick, chewy, and loaded with pumpkin flavor, these Pumpkin Oat breakfast bars are perfect for a healthy breakfast alongside fruit and yogurt or as a snack all on their own.

Dinner:

Cook sweet, savory, healthy dishes, including satisfying Chicken Pot Pie Soup that will hit the “spot” after chilly days spent picking apples and raking leaves.

You’ll love the Butternut Squash & Mushroom Chicken Pot Pie. This recipe is all about warm, satisfying comfort packed underneath a buttery, flaky top crust. Prep this comforting dish in a short 15 minutes, then finish baking it up in the oven so you don’t have too much to do. The side benefit is that your house will smell amazing!

Next, we’re cooking Salisbury Steaks and Shepherd’s Pie Stuffed Potatoes for hearty meals to ward off the chilly Fall weather. Both recipes are easy to prepare and freeze exceptionally well, too, just in case you have enough leftovers!

Add a burst of Fall flavor to dinnertime with Pumpkin Mac and Cheese. It’s a dinner that kids of all ages love; it’s ready in under 30 minutes. Perfect for when you need to get food on the table fast!

Are you looking for a fun meal to feed your little monsters? This month’s Creamy Spinach Soup is easy to prepare. It’s ready in just minutes. Besides its delightful bright green color that looks and tastes delicious, the soup sets a spooky ambiance when served at a Halloween-themed table in black bowls to mimic a witch’s cauldron.

Dessert:

Most importantly, it wouldn’t be right to end October without something sweet. I know you’ll want to top all these meals off with the Pumpkin Cheesecake Truffles, an irresistible treat the whole family will love (and be sure to hide one or two for yourselfyou know you deserve them)!

Add one or two of these recipes each week throughout October to get an easy, healthy dinner served and spend more time with your family this fall!

Hi, I'm Kymberley, the creator of GfreeDeliciously and the Amazing, Glorious Journey Programs. I pray that my work will inspire you to honor your body through God and Good Food from the inside out, all while enjoying your Amazing, Glorious Journey!

Take a peek at the behind GfreeDeliciously

Being creative, cooking, fresh veggies, the violin, decorating for holidays, sewing, hand-quilting, cowgirl boots, country music, fresh herbs in pots, blowing dandelions to the wind, walking barefoot in the grass, hanging out with eclectic interesting people, reading, writing, warm lazy summer days, and yoga!

Gluten, cilantro, mixed vegetables (the frozen kind I grew up with), negativism, rudeness, narcissism, overstaying a welcome,
not helping out, liars, promiscuity, cockiness, know-it-alls, being overly-dramatic, goal-less-ness, poor hygiene, chauvinism, lacking a sense of humor, excessive competitiveness, Laziness, horrifying spellers, people-bashing, criticism and mockery of others and their beliefs, flakiness (because flaky people are really unappealing), more swagger than substance, people who constantly manage others (those folks who think they have all the answers…)

Lambrusco, my iPad, popcorn suppers, dark chocolate, cookbooks, Almond-Rocca, historical romances, sun-bathing, weekend coffee with a good book in bed, PBS cooking shows, romantic comedies, cozy sweaters, fuzzy socks, and fragrant bubble baths with soft music and wine…

Say please and thank you, LAUGH, Pray often, ENCOURAGE others, Be KIND, HONEST, HAPPY, Keep your PROMISES, Be GRATEFUL, Wash your hands, FORGIVE yourself and others, LISTEN, Have FAITH, Be CONFIDENT, Honor your parents, CHERISH your children and grandchildren, TREASURE your family, ABIDE in GOD’s love, Be POLITE, Guard your HEART, SEEK your purpose, FEED your mind, body and soul, Be HOPEFUL, Resist temptation, Lay your burdens down, TRUST your gut, CONNECT with nature, Know that GOD made you perfect just the way you are, SERVE others, LIVE to love, Be COURAGEOUS, Shine bright, OPEN your mind, RESPECT differences, HONOR your inner hunger, SING loud, Be PROUD of who you are, Practice PATIENCE, Never give up, WEATHER the storms of life, Say I love you, LOVE one another

Coach | Cook | Creator | Publisher

A self-taught Gfree lifestyle expert on [most] gluten-free things, I’ve always loved cooking and creating delicious foods from scratch for myself and those I love.

My journey began when everything I thought I knew about cooking and eating suddenly changed when I discovered I was celiac. So, I re-learned how to eat, cook, and navigate through life gluten-free – trusting God and His plan for me.

I live in the Holylands of Central Wisconsin. All the recipes you’ll find here are gluten-free and inspired by the people and places I love most. Whenever possible, I cook with seasonal ingredients using fresh whole foods, making dishes suitable for everyday life and bringing food lovers together at the same table. I hope my recipes, and tips can make your life a little easier.

Gfree cooking, maintaining my healthy gut, and wellness are my life. This little corner of the internet is where I share what I’ve learned—where my passion is to nourish every GfreeDeliciously!

Thanks for stopping by!
