1. Fall Inspired Vegetarian Bibimbab by Hip Foodie Mom

Bibimbap is a signature Korean dish that features a variety of warm ingredients layered into one bowl with steamy rice, topped with a fried egg.

This easy lunch brings together all the classic fall flavors into one quick sandwich. Simply assemble your sandwich with turkey slices, sliced apples, and apple butter — you won’t want to miss this combination of sweet and savory!

3. One Pot Cauliflower Piccata Pasta by Slender Kitchen

If you love chicken piccata but simply don’t have the time to cook chicken during lunch, this variation uses in-season cauliflower to save you time and cash.

4. Roasted Butternut Squash Quinoa Bowl by Plant Based RD

Pumpkin gets all the love during fall, but butternut squash deserves just as much credit, which is why you should add this nourishing bowl to your weekly meal plan.

5. Apple Cranberry Chicken Salad by One Lovely Life

This is a great recipe to make with leftover chicken, so nothing goes to waste. Another option is to buy a cooked rotisserie chicken, and you’re already halfway there.

There’s nothing simpler than tossing up a salad when you’re short on time. This recipe uses a quick and easy apple cider vinaigrette that pairs beautifully with the crisp, chopped apples. For the best time-saving hack, get pre-washed baby spinach that you can throw into a bowl together with the rest of your ingredients.
