Biblically Clean Fall Recipes: Healthy Dishes for Autumn Inspired by Biblical Dietary Laws

Here are Biblically clean recipes for the fall harvest season! I love the abundant produce at this time of year and these recipes take advantage of seasonal ingredients like squash, pumpkin, broccoli, and apples. With everything from pasta to pot pie to apple pie bars to enchiladas cider waffles and harvest salads, you'll find recipes that will work well for meals or snacks for holiday gatherings like the Feast of Trumpets and Tabernacles, and they all work great for cozy meals anytime during the autumn season. Of course all the recipes listed here fit within the Biblical dietary laws and contain no pork, shellfish, or other animals that aren't considered food by Scripture.

Biblically Clean Slow Cooker Recipes

These are recipes for Biblically clean meals that can be made in a slow cooker. These warm and cozy meal ideas are a perfect way to have an easy meal ready for dinner, and they all fit within what the Bible says about what we eat. Using a slow cooker or crock pot can be a helpful way to getting dinner on the table on a busy day, or make one of these meals for the Sabbath day so that you have more time to rest! If you don't want to keep the slow cooker on overnight, just assemble the ingredients in the crock the day before, and the next day take it out of the fridge and turn on the slow cooker a few hours before you'd like to have your meal.

As always, these recipes contain no pork or shellfish, and they are great for a Biblically clean diet!

Master List of Biblically Clean Recipes

This page serves as a landing point for all sorts of Biblically clean recipes. Whether you're new to cooking in the way that Scripture tells us to, or you just need some fresh inspiration for meals, turn in here for links to Biblically clean breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack recipes.

Are you new to Biblically clean eating? Essentially, it's following Scripture's instructions about what we do and don't eat. You can learn more about it here.

A couple of things...

-The recipes I share here are mostly from other blogs. I'm not necessarily recommending everything else on those websites, but the specific recipes I give links to (and anywhere else on Land of Honey) meet the criteria for Biblically clean food.

-I try and stick to recipes that are made from real, whole, healthy ingredients. While you don't have to eat ultra healthy to have a Biblically clean diet, I do think it's wise to have the majority of our diets be foods that the Living God created, which promotes health in our bodies.

-For the most part these recipes are simple and straightforward and totally doable for any old weeknight. I try to find dishes that don't require a huge investment of time or money to make, so you can feed yourself and your family Biblically clean meals throughout busy seasons.

-I don't believe the Bible forbids mixing meat and dairy. See more on that here. That said, in the few recipes I share that mix red meat with cream or cheese, it would be easy to leave out one ingredient or the other, or to make a substitution such as ground turkey for beef, or olive oil for butter, if you prefer.

-A lot of people will tell you that only veganism is truly Biblically clean, but this idea is simply not supported by Scripture. While you could certainly make an argument that Adam and Eve's original diet was plant based and free of animal products, the Bible also tells us which animals are permissible to eat, and the Messiah describes eggs as good things and served fish to the disciples after he rose from the grave. If you want to have a vegan diet, go for it, but it's not accurate to say that the Bible requires this of believers.

Biblically Clean Sheet Pan Meals

In The No-Stress Guide to Sabbath Meal Prep, I mention how sheet pan meals are great to make right before the Sabbath, but really I love these for anytime you don't have much attention or time to put into making dinner, but still want a healthy and delicious meal. Simply place all your ingredients onto a baking sheet and let it roast in the oven! The cleanup is minimal, and your hands and attention are free for other things during the cooking. These recipes are simple, easily adaptable, and made from whole, real ingredients.

A few pointers for easy sheet pan meals:

-Don't hesitate to use an extra sheet if the recipe makes more than you expected, or you just want a double batch for leftovers.

-Instead of just using chicken breast or thighs, feel free to swap in a whole quartered/chopped chicken. This can save money or be easier for those who eat locally.

-Bake some rice. If you're looking to round out your meal, put some rice in the oven to bake while you're at it. Here's a recipe for making brown rice in the oven. Personally, I don't bother bringing the water to a boil and I just use a pan with a glass lid instead of foil. It takes a bit longer but turns out well for me.
