Making the most of super fresh ingredients from nearby farms usually requires cooking at home. But it's simpler than you might think to convert the bounty on your doorstep into a delicious, healthy meal for the whole family.

Keep reading for inspiring tips to get cooking at home this fall.

Cooking at home is the most affordable way to eat well. Meals made at home tend to be simpler, more rustic, and better for you.

In Idaho, the Autumn season is the best time to get back into a rhythm of cooking at home. It can be hard to stick with a meal plan during the summer when outdoor activities abound, often late into the sunlit evening or through the weekend. Little time is left for getting cozy in the kitchen.

Fall is a season of consistency. It's getting darker earlier. A glass of wine and the stove top are more inviting than they were in the heat of August.

Notwithstanding, meals still need to be simple and easy to make. They should also be filling and complete with protein, vegetables, and starch, grains or bread.

As you get settled into your nest this fall, let our meal kits give you some structure for meal planning. They are not pre-prepped, but they come with easy-to-follow recipes and all the required ingredients (except for oil, salt and pepper).

Each kit will include any mix-ins and additions needed to complete the meal, such as coffee for breakfast or dinner rolls for a crock pot meal. The exact types of any vegetable side items, mix-ins, and bread, grains, or starch-based sides included in each kit will vary depending on what is available each week.
