Listen to the Rain

Have you ever turned off your television, sat in a camper, or done nothing but listen to the rain? Science has shown that it can help you relax and enter a meditative state, which is known to help your mind become calm.

Fall Food Ideas to Keep You Warm and Cozy

In the fall, comfort is king, even at the dinner table. In addition to filling your belly, comfort food warms your soul. You anticipate tucking into this food all day long. So here are five fall food ideas that you can try!

Ramen

An incredibly cozy soup option for fall is ramen, which can be endlessly modified according to your preferences and what's available in the kitchen. Make your stock if you can, and give it plenty of time to steep and simmer on the stovetop to get the most flavor out of it.

Baked Mac and Cheese

Fall comfort food isn't complete without mac and cheese, but the boxed variety won't do for our needs. Choose a baked variety with a cheesy center finished with a broiler for the ideal browned crust. Although we won't judge you if you don't, you can serve it with a crisp salad or roasted green vegetables.

Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup

You'll always have a simple go-to for quick dinners on cool nights once you've mastered the grilled cheese. For a traditional meal, combine it with tomato soup; alternatively, experiment with butternut squash, pumpkin, or potato leek soup.

French Onion Soup

One of the best dining options for chilly weather is soup. And if comfort is what you're after, French onion soup might be the best option. To achieve the best results, make sure your onions are completely caramelized before adding your stock. Finally, top with cheese croutons made from crusty day-old bread.

Apple Pie Pancakes

Does it matter that apple pie pancakes belong more to the breakfast or dessert category or to the dinner category? This recipe from Averie Cooks uses apples you may have purchased during a seasonal trip to the orchard, along with warm fall spices and vanilla maple syrup.
