All my love for fall’s finest foods got me thinking… what are winter foods???
It seems like every season has a food. Fall is saturated with squash and apples, but what foods (besides Christmas cookies and hot cocoa) are winter treats? The Googler in me did a quick search and this slideshow from Fitness magazine shed some light on my quandary.
Turns out a lot of foods transcend fall and are winter-ripe too! Mushrooms, pears, squash, apples, figs, beets…
Today’s breakfast was a seasonally appropriate bowl of fall fun.
Oatmeal with pumpkin, Honeycrisp apple chunks and cinnamon protein powder.
Autumn in a Bowl
Pumpkin Apple Oats
I also made a hot mug of Yogi goji berry green tea to round out my breakfast.

Tasty, tasty.
Pumpkin Seeds

Question: What’s your favorite season? What’s your favorite seasonal food?

I love spring the best for Florida strawberries. I love apples and pears, too, so fall is a close second! 🙂
Didn’t carve yet! I’m waitin’ til Friday. 🙂
I love Fall, smelling the leaves and a crisp cool day. Especially when the sun is shining 🙂
However, I love to bake for the Holidays, and am already thinking about what I will make.
I’d say Fall is my favorite season–but I do love watermelon as a summer food 🙂
Pumpkin and oatmeal — yum! I love winter. Hot chocolate is my favorite winter food (if you can call a beverage a food).

Sorry, forgot to add great post! Can’t wait to see your next post!
I love cinnamon and apples year round…but for fall, my all time favorite is pumpkin spice ANYTHING. I also like do do a lot of maple flavored things in the fall. Who am I kidding, I put pumpkin pie spice in my oats and vanilla whey year round. LOL…
Alchy wise, I love hot apple cider with captian morgans for a festive drink…in the winter that becomes fat free egg nog with captains…nice little bit of spice for ya!
