Looks like we are in the season of pumpkin everything. This pumpkin cranberry loaf is a welcoming snack with a hot cup of tea or apple cider.

Risotto is a simple looking dish. To turn it into a special meal, take a cue from restaurant chefs and go a little overboard with garnishes. Here, small dollops of the pistachio sauce, along with crunchy nuts, bits of cheese and basil look beautiful. A swirl of fruity, deep green olive oil or pistachio oil gilds the lily.

Mashed potatoes are one of the best comfort foods. They’re also a blank canvas when you feel like changing it up a bit, and one of the easiest additions is some sour cream.

One sip of this soup is like getting wrapped in your warmest, coziest sweater. Between the thick chunks of vegetables, tender cubes of potato, juicy shreds of chicken (take your pick of boneless breasts or thighs), and thick, creamy broth, it truly doesn’t get more comforting than chicken potato soup.

As the temps begin to dip, this is a family-friendly soup to keep on repeat all through fall and winter.

You can serve this alongside a salad of tomatoes with fresh mozzarella and basil for a light luncheon or supper, along with some olive-studded focaccia or crusty multigrain bread.

Quick-cooking chicken cutlets are a time-saving hero in this 20-minute dinner recipe.

Sweet corn on the cob, a bean salad and plenty of pumpkin soup make this a meal easily doubled, or even tripled, for a crowd. All treats, no tricks, here!

The best way to enjoy a baked potato is with a spread of custom toppings (aka a baked potato bar). It’s the ultimate meal.

Because Cornish hens are so petite, it means they are the perfect bird to air-fry whole. Thanks to the short cooking time, the meat stays juicy while the skin gets nice and crispy.

As the weather cools off, it's time for soup-making mode. This bright orange soup puree has lots of interesting flavor notes.

Instant espresso powder gives these soft, cakey cookies a subtle yet recognizable coffee flavor. Spread with cream cheese frosting (with more pumpkin pie spice flavors) and sprinkle with cinnamon to finish.

The subtle sweet flavor of acorn squash allows it to pair well with a variety of herbs and spices as well as sweet or savory additions.
