Hi there, Reader, I was walking down our main street here in town and saw a store with a sweater in the window that said "coffee weather". Maybe this is just me but I don't need my sweater to tell me it's Fall; the PSL in my hand and the leaves on my driveway tell me just fine. Oh and the sweet potatoes and butternut squash in the grocery bins. I see those and I immediately want to make a big sheet pan of my super easy, crispiest sweet potato halves. It's either those or my delicata squash...

RECIPES WATCH SHOP FB Italian wedding soup Hi there Reader!You might not know this about me, but I’m a big Gilmore Girls fan. And Fall and Stars Hollow, the fictional town the show is set in, go together like pb and j. No surprise that Sookie, the chef, is one of my favorite characters. She’s speaks my language: cooking is the answer to so many life moments. Like whether it's a good or not-so-good day, the weather turns or something warm in your belly just feels necessary. This week’s digest...

WHAT'S NEW SHOP WATCH IG Hey there, Reader, Maybe you are having company over soon (tonight?). I've got a Saturday dinner menu that feels like Fall but doesn't take a ton of work. My favorite way to entertain..something roasting in the oven, something I can make ahead and for super casual nights, something my guests can join in on and feel a part of the meal. First, a big flavored juicy pork roast. The herb seasoning will have everyone fighting over the end cut. On the side, a creamy farrotto...

Hi there, Reader, Risotto on a weekday wasn't part of the plan. But I had portobello mushrooms that were headed for the trash bin, a handful of dried porcini that needed using, and that particular kind of tired cozy and warm sounds good. All day stirring though? Not so much. Cue my minimal stir mushroom risotto. Big flavor with enough parmesan to satisfy my cheese-lover self. I was so happy after eating I didn't mind having to clean up. Thanks for being here, p.s. I have a whole method for...

WHAT'S NEW SHOP WATCH IG Hey there, Reader, I'm in the middle of testing a chicken piccata pasta, so pasta has been on my mind all week. The calendar says fall. The produce bins are some summer, some speckled with squashes. This week's Three for the Table has a little bit of both: Garlic butter cavatelli with broccoli is perfect for weeknights. Garlic, butter, broccoli, and your favorite sauce-loving pasta shape (have a free day? give homemade cavatelli a try). The next two are a little more...
