When the temperature starts to drop and the leaves begin to turn, there’s nothing quite like warming up your home with the scents of hearty, oven-baked dishes. Fall is the perfect season to indulge in comforting meals that warm your soul. And with Taylor Farms products on hand, creating these delightful dishes is easier than ever.
Let’s fire up the oven and dive into some enticing recipes to make your autumn evenings a little cozier and a lot more delicious.
Nothing says fall comfort quite like cheesy, oven-baked goodness—especially when it involves squash. These charming concoctions combine a creamy blend of white cheddar, Gruyère, and Taylor Farms Cauliflower Rice, all nestled inside perfectly roasted acorn squash halves. Infused with garlic, rosemary, and a touch of butter, they’re the perfect mix of savory and satisfying. It’s a simple yet elegant dish that’s adorable and entirely delectable—a perfect addition to your fall dining table.
Celebrate the spirit of the harvest season with a salad that combines the crispness of apples with the heartiness of kale! Using our Asiago Kale Chopped Salad Kit as a base, this recipe adds baked Honeycrisp apples, maple syrup, cinnamon, pecans, and walnuts. The combination creates a symphony of sweet and savory flavors, all complemented by aged Asiago cheese and a tangy lemon garlic vinaigrette.
Pot pies are the epitome of comfort food, and these single-serve vegetarian versions are no exception. Filled with a savory mix of potatoes, onions, and our Vegetable Medley—featuring pre-prepped carrots, cauliflower, and broccoli—these pies offer a truly wholesome and satisfying meal that will warm you up from the inside. Plus, using puff pastry sheets simplifies the preparation without sacrificing that flaky pie crust we all love!
Here’s a tip: Make a full batch of these (unbaked) pies ahead of time so you can store them in the freezer and pull them out on a night when you’re not up for putting together a meal, but still want something warm and comforting.
Looking for a quick and flavorful side dish? Toss our Vegetable Medley with olive oil, garlic, fresh herbs, and a squeeze of lemon, then roast until tender and golden. Top with fresh sage, and you’re all set. The carrots, broccoli, and cauliflower develop a rich, caramelized flavor that pairs well with almost any main course. And most of the work is done by your oven, so you can just sit back and enjoy the aromatics as they fill your kitchen. The hardest part? Waiting until they’re cool enough to eat.
Give traditional potato skins a seasonal twist with sweet potatoes and the Taylor Farms Maple Bourbon Bacon Chopped Salad Kit. The sweet potatoes serve as the perfect vessel for a filling of crisp romaine, cabbage, broccoli, smoky bacon, golden honey almonds, and our sweet maple bourbon vinaigrette. The result is an irresistible mix of sweet and savory flavors that’s perfect for fall gatherings or as a unique appetizer that will wow your guests.
Why use a bowl when you can serve your salad in a roasted butternut squash? This recipe combines our Maple Bourbon Bacon Chopped Salad Kit with the earthy, slightly sweet goodness of roasted butternut squash. Plus, let’s be honest, it looks amazing in the most fall-ish of ways. And did we mention how tasty it is? Not that we really need to—it’s pretty evident.
Reimagine a classic Italian dish with this vegetable-forward take on Cacio e Pepe that substitutes pasta with roasted Taylor Farms Broccoli and Cauliflower Florets.

This nourishing dish is a perfect way to end a cool fall day.
This vibrant tart is a feast for the senses! A flaky puff pastry crust is topped with roasted carrots, ricotta, goat cheese, and our oh-so-fally Maple Dijon Crunch Chopped Salad Kit. The puff pastry base offers a satisfying crispness, while the salad kit brings together diced red apples, fall-inspired crouton crumbles, sharp cheddar, and a sweet maple Dijon vinaigrette. It’s a versatile dish that can be served as a main course or cut into smaller pieces for an eye-catching appetizer.
How about one more stuffed squash dish to help you embrace the flavors of fall?
