The only thing more exciting than unpacking our fall candles and figuring out this year's fall color trends is getting ready to eat tons of cozy comfort food, especially if it's a sage recipe. Whether you love making instant pot stews or vegan casseroles, nothing makes the flavors pop like using fresh herbs. But instead of basil and parsley, as the weather gets colder look toward woodsier herbs like sage, rosemary, bay leaf. Sage in particular adds an earthy, smokey flavor to your meals. These 11 recipes show just how far a few sprigs can go toward transforming your favorite hearty autumn meals.
