Soups and stews are great and everything, but this year we’re all fired up about fall harvest bowls. First, they’re loaded with good-for-you grains and colorful fruits and veggies. Another requirement? Dressing so good you could eat it with a spoon. Best of all, they’re deceptively healthy, so you can chow down on a bowl of roasted Brussels and sweet potatoes now and eat two apple cider doughnuts later. Here, 18 of our favorites.
