Thai Steamed FishD.Schmidt
Eating fish becomes more important in the fall as the days grow shorter (especially cold-water fish, which provides that missing vitamin D we would normally get from the sun). Try this classic steamed fish recipe combining lemongrass, galangal (or ginger), and fresh coriander for a melt-in-your-mouth taste experience. Be sure to use fresh fish for best results.

16. Real Vegetarian Pad Thai

With all of the fresh veggies available in the fall, this authentic Vegetarian Pad Thai recipe is just perfect for those times when you crave noodles. This Pad Thai recipe offers adequate protein in the form of eggs (vegans can omit this ingredient) and nuts. And because it's made with rice noodles, Pad Thai is a healthy gluten free recipe. Try it - you'll love it!

This Thai Yellow Fried Rice is colorful, easy to make, and tastes amazing. Made with fresh or frozen shrimp, this fried rice recipe also features greens, such as spring onion, fresh coriander, and peas. Turmeric is the special ingredient that makes the fried rice yellow, and because of its incredible health benefits, the addition of this spice makes this recipe a good-for-you treat.

If you like coconut rice, try this delicious Thai coconut saffron rice recipe. Instead of choosing between saffron rice and coconut rice, I've combined the two into one recipe. The result is a beautifully golden rice that tastes wonderful and is great to serve company or take to a dinner party or potluck. And it's easy to make, too!

19. Fresh Mango Sorbet
