As the dog days of Summer is over and the air becomes clear, it's time for some great fall produce. Squash, green leaves, cauliflower and fruits like apples, pears and Pomegranates begin appearing in our stores and in our dishes and there are many ways to enjoy this reward — even if you're cooking for one person.

How many people fall, me hearty stews and soups means. But when cooking for one, you will eat that stew for days to come, or freezing half of it for later, so it's good to find some great ways to make use of the product of fall that won't result in squash overload.

Cauliflower is in abundance at this time of year, and one of my favorite ways to prepare it is baked with olive oil, salt and pepper.Check to see if it is pre-cut cauliflower available in its production department or in the salad bar, and then get just what you need and take it home to bake! If you're choosing cut veggies in the salad bar, just add some chickpeas and sliced green olives for cauliflowers for a healthy meal that gives you loads of fiber and protein. Looking for a touch sweeter, more exotic?Replace raisins olives and may add a pinch of curry powder.

Green leaves are an addition to a healthy and tasty dish. Throw a handful of bulk hot spinach for some fiber and iron or Saute a few Swiss chard and sliced mushrooms to add to an omelette.You can find green most bulk produce departments, which makes it easier to buy only what you need for your meal.

Here are some other ideas to try:

Now that I've given you some ideas for cooking for a fall produce, what's your path to enjoy the bounty of fall into your favorite dish?
