12 Impressive Fall Dishes You Can Make in a Snap
Fall is arguably the busiest season. On top of juggling school and work schedules, there are multiple holidays, all of which have culinary demands. That’s why recipes that come together quickly and easily are a saving grace. They’re not only helpful on hectic weeknights; they can also make Thanksgiving and other fall gatherings more enjoyable — for you and your guests.
While these crowd-pleasing dishes can be extra comforting, they can also trigger uncomfortable heartburn. According to gastroenterologist Dr. Samantha Nazareth, “Foods like cranberry sauce, spicy stuffing, heavy gravy, and chocolate dessert can exacerbate symptoms for individuals who already deal with heartburn.” But there’s an easy way for everyone to enjoy mealtime. “If you run into unexpected heartburn when enjoying your favorite holiday spreads and dishes, keep PEPCID Complete® nearby because it contains the speed of an antacid with the long-lasting power of an acid reducer,” says Dr. Nazareth.
Make these simple and straightforward recipes a recurring part of your fall table, and keep PEPCID Complete® on hand to indulge comfortably.
