30 Seasonal Recipes to Cook in September | Ambitious Kitchen

Hello, September! Okay, summer technically isn’t over until September 22nd, so we have plenty of time for patio season, grilling, and hoarding as many fresh berries as possible. At the same time, I think it’s appropriate to start whipping up cozy recipes with delicious Fall flavors. PUMPKIN ANYONE?

To kick off the month I (of course) rounded up 30 incredible, seasonal recipes to cook in September. September is pretty much the best of both worlds, which is why you’ll find a mix of summer and fall recipes in here. Is it chaotic? Sure, but these recipes are delicious and that’s all that matters.
