Fall flavors galore Are you planning a fall-themed meal? Stock up on ingredients to evoke the essence of the season.

Here are a handful of must-haves.

• Pumpkins: These delicately flavoured gourds can be prepared in a myriad of ways. Make a creamy soup, a comforting stew, healthy muffins or a decadent cake starring this all-purpose vegetable — let your mood be your guide!

• Apples: Buy juicy, ripe apples from your local orchard or market and cook them however you like.

Apples roasted with vegetables, for example, make a great

accompaniment to pork chops. As for desserts, you’re spoiled for choice. From pies to crisps to donuts, the list of yummy possibilities is endless.

• Oysters: Fall is oyster season.

Enjoy them raw with a squeeze of lemon juice, add them to a fresh pasta dish or use them as a lavish garnish. Oyster recipes abound, so you’re sure to find one to make your guests’ mouths water.

• Spices: Spices that say autumn — think pumpkin spice — make excellent enhancements to stews, meats, pies and lattes. Classic fall seasonings include cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice and cloves. These flavors will warm your tastebuds and your heart.

• Game: Meat harvested during hunting season makes a pleasing alternative to those you routinely enjoy.

Broaden your culinary horizons by cooking meats like venison, moose or goose. Don’t be afraid to try something new!

Event Guide Autumn: the perfect season to get moving Do you want to stay in shape this fall? This list of activities is sure to inspire you to get moving, no matter your interests.

•Hiking: Lace up your hiking boots and explore the trails in your area. Whether you take to the hills or meander through the forest, you’re sure to find your fill of magnificently colored landscapes. Your energized, oxygenated body will thank you!

•Biking: Whether you prefer a classic cruiser or an e-bike, the possibilities for scenic rides are endless. Set yourself a calorie or mileage goal, pack a snack with some water and off you go!

•Kayaking: Explore a tranquil lake or river near you and observe the colorful reflections of the surrounding trees. Kayaking is an excellent way to strengthen your

arms and shoulders while engaging with your natural surroundings.

•Running: The sweltering heat and humidity of summer make running difficult and potentially harmful. In the fall, running workouts are more enjoyable, enabling you to extend your distance.
