Dress Up Your Breakfast

Pumpkin seeds are high in antioxidants, fiber, and other nutrients—which is exactly what we need for breakfast. That’s why you shouldn’t miss out on adding them to your oatmeal, pancakes, toast, and/or even smoothies.

 Here are three that you should keep an eye on this fall!

Pumpkin

Pumpkin is a ubiquitous ingredient in different foods and drinks in the fall season, from pumpkin bread to pumpkin-spiced latte. Try out some unique recipes like roasted pumpkin seeds or mashed pumpkin if you can find it at your local market this fall!

Acorn Squash

Acorn squash is one of the many varieties of squash and gourds that come into season during the fall, and is one of my favorites due to how great it tastes after being roasted in the oven. Whether you prefer a sweet version with brown sugar or a savory version with parmesan cheese, you can’t go wrong here.

Butternut Squash

Butternut squash is another variety of the same family of gourds that surprisingly tastes pretty similar to pumpkin, although it’s a bit less sweet. This makes it great in soups and when baked in the oven with salty or savory ingredients like butter or cheese.

Beer lovers will find all sorts of pumpkin-flavored brews during the fall, and here are three pumpkin beer styles that you should seek out.

Pumpkin Stout

Stouts naturally go well with pumpkin due to their maltiness and smoky, rich flavor. A number of craft breweries have introduced pumpkin stouts on the market, which go together perfectly with a cool autumn night.

Pumpkin Ale

Pumpkin ales are probably the most en vogue beer containing this autumn fruit, with a wide variety of creations being offered on the market. From coffee pumpkin ales to spiced pumpkin ales, these medium-bodied beers let pumpkin come to the forefront and shine.

Pumpkin Saison

Harder to find but oh so delicious are pumpkin saisons—a modern twist on this classic Belgian beer, which uses natural yeasts and bacteria to create a funky flavor. Mildly sour and occasionally described as “spicy,” pumpkin takes on a whole new flavor when put into a saison.

Pumpkin Seeds

Pumpkin seeds have that calming and relaxing effect because of their high content of minerals. Zinc and magnesium help you calm down and have a nice nap.

Lettuce

Lettuce will not only make you sleepy, but it also has a proven calming effect. These leafy greens have very similar calming characteristics such as opioids. Research shows that lactucin, which is a part of lettuce, leads to this effect.

Bananas

Your favorite fruit is also making you sleepy. The combination of magnesium, potassium, and sugar will have you feeling tired and want to take a long nap.

Pasta

Pasta is one of the foods that make you sleepy. It is loaded on carbohydrates, which increase the blood sugar and affects the insulin levels. All of this leads to a strong feeling of tiredness. Pasta is joined by other foods that are also rich in sugar and flour such as pastries.

Cherries

Cherries are also somewhere on top of the list of foods that make you sleepy. They are highly saturated with melatonin, the hormone that aids with quality sleep. Next time you want to stay awake, avoid eating cherries.
