I make this butternut squash gnocchi recipe every single fall. It’s like autumn on a baking sheet, thanks to the hearty potato gnocchi, butternut squash, earthy sage, red onion, and kale leaves that crisp up beautifully in the oven. I toss it all in a sweet and tangy apple cider vinegar dressing and finish it with creamy dollops of ricotta cheese before serving. Easy to make and packed with the best flavors of the season, it’s everything I want on a fall weeknight. I hope you love this butternut squash gnocchi too!

This roasted acorn squash recipe is my favorite way to cook acorn squash. It’s a delicious, easy side dish for the holidays, Thanksgiving, or any fall meal. Halved and baked in the oven with olive oil and maple syrup, the squash is perfectly tender and beautifully caramelized, with a sweet and savory flavor that I absolutely love. A sprinkle of fresh herbs takes it over the top. If you’re learning how to cook acorn squash for the first time, this recipe is a great one to start with. It highlights this fall veggie’s best qualities—its creamy texture and sweet flavor—but that’s […]

This French onion pasta recipe is a perfect cozy dinner for a chilly night. Inspired by French onion soup, it stars rich, savory caramelized onions, tangy white wine, and plenty of Gruyère cheese. The cheese melts into the broth-based sauce, creating a lightly creamy, deeply flavorful coating for the pasta. Easy to make in one pot with simple ingredients, this French onion pasta is on repeat in my kitchen every fall. I hope you love it as much as I do!

This pumpkin soup recipe is smooth, creamy, and full of rich flavor from pumpkin, coconut milk, and warming curry spices. I love to make it with fresh roasted pumpkin in the fall, which gives it an intensely sweet flavor and almost velvety texture. But when I don’t have time to roast a squash from scratch, I make this pumpkin soup with canned pumpkin instead. It works beautifully too, and the soup comes together about twice as fast. On a fall weeknight, I can’t argue with that. 🙂 Pumpkin Soup Ingredients Most of the ingredients in this pumpkin soup recipe are pantry […]

If you’ve never roasted delicata squash before, get ready to fall in love! When winter squash appears at farmers markets and grocery stores each year, I’m excited to get my hands on all of it: acorn squash, butternut squash, spaghetti squash, and more. But delicata squash is my favorite by far. Nicknamed the “sweet potato squash,” it has a sweet, velvety flesh that caramelizes beautifully when it’s roasted in the oven. But that’s not all. Thanks to its small size and thin, edible skin, it’s super easy to prepare. That’s right—you don’t have to peel it! In fact, the combination […]

This cottage cheese pancakes recipe is a delicious high-protein breakfast. Thanks to the cottage cheese and eggs, each pancake packs in 7 grams of protein! Better yet, the pancakes don’t actually taste like cottage cheese. Instead, they’re perfectly fluffy, moist, and filled with a lightly sweet vanilla flavor. Pass the maple syrup, please! I’ve been hesitant to use cottage cheese in sweet recipes ever since I tried cottage cheese cookie dough a few years ago (it was…not for me). But recently, I realized I’ve been adding cheese to pancakes for years in my lemon ricotta pancakes recipe. If I blended the […]

These roasted sweet potatoes are one of my favorite side dishes. They’re easy to make in a hot oven with just olive oil, salt, and pepper, but they’re still so delicious. These roasted sweet potatoes are lightly crisp on the outside, tender in the middle, and full of sweet and savory flavor. I don’t know what it is about fall weather, but when the air gets cool and crisp, I start cooking sweet potatoes like crazy. I make baked sweet potatoes, mashed sweet potatoes, and sweet potato soup. But this roasted sweet potato recipe is how I cook them most […]

I’ve made this Turkish eggs recipe more times than I can count in the last few months. It’s become a breakfast staple in our house, on repeat on busy weekdays and lazy weekends alike. It starts with a base of garlicky yogurt that I top with poached eggs and a richly spiced Aleppo pepper oil (butter works too). I round it out with a sprinkle of fresh herbs and pita bread for scooping everything up. Ready in 20 minutes, it’s such a quick yet satisfying breakfast. The eggs and yogurt pack it with protein (we’re talking 22 grams per serving!), […]

This apple cinnamon bread is exactly what I want to bake (and eat) on a crisp fall day. It’s moist, tender, and full of fall goodness—juicy apples, crunchy walnuts, and warm spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. I add applesauce to the batter in addition to the fresh apple pieces, which makes it extra-moist and rounds out the sweet apple flavor. It’s so good that I’ve made it 3 times in September already (we went apple picking, what can I say?). I hope you love it as much as I do!

These quick pickled beets are so good that I like to eat them straight from the jar. Roasted, then pickled in a simple brine made from apple cider vinegar, water, sugar, and salt, the beets are tender, sweet, and tangy, with a sour, savory kick from garlic and mustard seeds. When I’m not snacking on them, I pile them onto salads and thinly slice them for sandwiches. They add a bright, earthy pop that I just love. I’ve shared lots of other quick pickling recipes in the past (see these pickled red onions and dill pickles, for example), but I only […]
