🍁 October at Pinch of Yum

[octoberheader-01.jpg] As L.M. Montgomery says: "I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers." We couldn’t agree more. Fall festivities are in full swing, food is somehow more delicious, and depending on where you live, all the green has fully burst into a rainbow of yellow, orange, and red. The BEST. This month we’ve been sharing some of our favorite Pinch of Yum recipes from the past - like these [Easy Crockpot Carnitas]( this spicy [Jalapeño Lime Chicken Soup]( our favorite [Autumn Glow Salad]( and the best [Red Curry Lentils](. Total fall winners, right here. 🏆 We’re now diving head-first into another one of our favorite months (we see you, Thanksgiving). But first, let’s talk about what’s been up in October! ——— Everyone’s Favorite Recipe This Month Instant Pot Wild Rice Soup [instant-pot-wild-rice-soup.jpg]( We’re firm believers that there’s nothing better than a comforting bowl of soup at the end of a chilly fall day. For example: this Wild Rice Soup made in the Instant Pot! So creamy, super simple, and comes together in a flash. ALSO: highly recommend pairing with some [No Knead Bread](.

I’ve already made the Lasagna (in the oven now), the Wild Rice Soup, the Sweet Potato Stew, Chicken Tinga, Korean BBQ Beef and the Beef Stew. So amazing to not have to worry about dinner when I’ve worked later than expected. I froze them all with the liquid and cooked everything in the Instant Pot from frozen (except the lasagna) and had no problems at all. Thank you for all the work that went into this post (and if you’d like to do another one like it, that would be amazing!)." - Jennifer on [12 Healthy Freezer Meals (That You’ll Actually Love)]( [sweet-potato-peanut-stew.jpg]( "I made this over the weekend for my boyfriend & I, and to preface — he’s not huge on sweet potatoes, isn’t a kale lover, so I was unsure how he’d feel. Well, he’s OBSESSED with this soup!! I used almond butter instead of peanut butter, and added ground pork after softening the onions + jalapeños for some extra protein – it was so tasty! Can’t wait to make this unique recipe again & again." - Lauren on [Spicy Peanut Soup with Sweet Potato + Kale]( [creole-chicken.jpg]( "I made this yesterday and it is delicious! My husband said, ‘This is definitely a keeper!’ Music to my ears! And I agree! I get so excited when we really find a great one that is EASY (dump and run fits our schedule) and is truly delicious. Can’t thank you enough! I’ll have to look at your other recipes!! Really appreciating this one though! Thank you for sharing it! We will enjoy it many times over!" - Debbie on [Slow Cooker Creole Chicken and Sausage]( Favorite Product of the Month There are thousands of amazing products to keep in your kitchen, but we have a handful of go-to tools that we use everyday - whether it’s products we’ve had forever or an awesome new find.
