Welcome to October, the month of embracing baking, roasting, and braising! Grab your sheet pan and begin with a Greek chicken dish that will put your entire meal in the oven before it finds its way to the table.

If you've avoided venison because it never seems to cook up tender or you are worried about it tasting "gamey", grab your pressure cooker and get ready for a Korean favorite with a healthier twist. The pressure cooker is the perfect tool for tender venison brimming with flavor every time.
A meatloaf-like meatball recipe gets a tex-mex twist and taco meatballs are born! Use them in a south-of-the-border pasta dish or as the star of your new favorite, a taco meatball sub sandwich. If you're like me, you'll double or triple the recipe and freeze some for later.
Summer leftovers often find themselves starring in summer rolls, alongside the season's freshest produce and brightly-colored edible flowers. It's fast, simple, and downright beautiful food. So start rolling!
I adore hummus and could make a gorgeous hummus platter like this one the foundation of all of my summer meals. When pan-roasted chickpeas are added to the mix along with crunchy fresh vegetables and warm pita, all you need is a cold drink!
Make sandwich night special with a spicy shrimp po' boy on your plate. Packed with lots of flavor, but simple enough to get on the table in about 15 minutes, these sandwiches are a perfect way to start out your summer season.
My favorite baked chicken recipe involves thighs, a hot oven, and little else. But part of its charm is being able to change course halfway through the baking process to add a sauce and give it a flavor makeover!

I love beef tips, but they've previously been a bit of a weekend decadence for me since a slow simmer was what I needed for tender tips. No more. If you've got an InstantPot or other pressure cooker, they can be on your table in a half hour!
Noodle bowls have a lot of different ingredients and that's what makes them amazing. I like to think of them as cool weather cousins of a good salad. So think texture, color, and flavor layering and you'll find yourself with a stunning dinner!
