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 […]

This enchilada recipe is the kind of simple, comforting dish that we all need in our weeknight rotations. The filling is a combo of gooey cheese, black beans, and steamed spinach. I roll it up in corn tortillas, which I then smother with red enchilada sauce and more cheese. Finally, I bake the enchiladas until the cheese is melty and the edges of the tortillas are crisp. Easy to make and packed with delicious flavor, this recipe has become a family favorite in our house. Our kiddo always asks for more! I hope you love it too. Cheese Enchiladas Ingredients Though […]

This corn casserole has a delicious creamy center and sweet and savory corn flavor. It’s like a softer, almost spoonable version of cornbread, with plenty of whole corn kernels mixed in for crunch. The recipe is inspired by classic corn casserole with Jiffy mix, but instead of relying on a boxed cornbread mix and canned corn, it stars fresh corn and a homemade blend of flour, cornmeal, and baking powder. (Though don’t worry—if you prefer to use a mix or canned or frozen corn, I’ve tested them all and have tips for using them below!) I love making this recipe […]

This celery salad recipe is fresh and flavorful, filled with a delicious variety of textures and flavors. Chewy Medjool dates and tender chickpeas accent the celery’s crunch, and apple adds a nice sweetness to play off the celery’s savory flavor. Rich, nutty almonds and Parmesan balance the fresh ingredients, and a bright lemon dressing ties the whole thing together. I love this salad because it shows that celery can be so much more than a supporting ingredient in a soup or the base for ants on a log. This humble veggie is crisp and refreshing, with juicy stalks and leaves so fragrant […]

This corn chowder recipe is the perfect meal for a cool summer or early fall night. It’s creamy and comforting, but still packed with veggies. You’ll find tender potatoes, peppers, and—of course—summer sweet corn in this flavorful soup. I’m obviously biased, but I think this recipe makes the best corn chowder I’ve tried. The secret is using fresh corn on the cob two ways. I add the kernels to the soup for sweetness and crunch, and I also make a quick corn broth with the cobs. It fills this recipe with rich, sweet corn flavor that I balance with savory seasonings like […]

I make roasted cauliflower almost every week. It’s easy to make, healthy, and delicious. The florets come out of the oven beautifully caramelized, with crisp, golden brown edges and a rich, nutty flavor. They’re perfect for serving as a side dish, tucking into tacos, tossing into a salad, a grain bowl, or a pasta…or eating straight off the baking sheet. You’ll find my go-to roasted cauliflower recipe below, along with my best tips and tricks for cooking it perfectly every time. I’ve also shared a few of my favorite ways to season roasted cauliflower. Yes, this roasted veggie is great […]

Move over, ketchup and hot sauce—this homemade harissa recipe is one of my favorite condiments to keep on hand. Made with a blend of roasted red peppers, dried chiles, warming spices, garlic, and lemon, my version of this North African chili paste is sweet, smoky, and bright, with a subtle kick of heat. I love stirring it into shakshuka for spice, slathering it in falafel wraps, and dolloping it on roasted veggies to punch up the flavors. I started making homemade harissa years ago, back before it was widely available in grocery stores in my area. These days, it’s much […]

These easy weeknight dinners are some of my go-to recipes for busy nights. They range from pastas to soups to stir fries and sheet pan meals, but they all have a few things in common. They call for simple ingredients, they come together quickly (or are hands-off to prepare), and they’re packed with flavor. I don’t always feel like cooking at the end of a long day, but I do want a delicious dinner. If you’re looking for weeknight dinner ideas to refresh your rotation, check out the recipes below. I’ve made these meals for my family time and time again. […]
