Early autumn grilling is a thing of beauty. The weather is starting to include just the first hints of chilliness, but gardens are giving us so much to work with, it makes sense to work it onto the grill for quick and inspired meals.
Summer's finest produce finds itself in a garden-inspired Shrimp Pad Thai. Everything from golden corn to tender zucchini to crisp carrots star in this seasonal spin on a favorite dish from Thailand.
Pairing the crisp skin and tender interior of roasted chicken with fresh roasted green vegetables and a tangy dressing is perfect summer eating. Using a piece of Indian flatbread as a plate that will soak up all that deliciousness is pure genius.
Versatile and simple, these scones are equally perfect for starring as the foundation of a great sandwich or being paired with afternoon tea. You can even make a batch (or three) and keep them in the freezer until you're ready to enjoy them.
Sheet pan dinners are popular and it's no wonder: you mix a bunch of ingredients on a baking sheet, pop them into the oven, and dinner bakes itself. You can put together a salad or some other side, but the cleverness of it all is that you can just make the contents of that pan dinner!
When trying to eat healthier, rather than swearing off meat entirely or deciding carbs are the devil, let's take a more moderate approach that chooses menus that embrace plant-based foods without sacrificing flavor, texture, and color without zapping all of your time.
Enjoy a shrimp stir-fry with a vegetable foundation for dinner. If working more veggies into your diet was part of your New Year's resolutions this year, this is one delicious way to do just that while using seasonal spaghetti squash.
Holiday entertaining often leaves us with lots of question marks in our menu planning when it comes to side dishes to pair with the stellar main courses we choose. Embrace the season and consider Brussels sprouts cooked with crisp bacon and tangy apple cider.
Normally, the week after Thanksgiving has us beginning December, but this year we're granted another week of November. Take advantage of it by embracing a quick and seasonal Autumn Beef and Vegetable Lo Mein.
Warm salads are where it's at when it comes to working more vegetables into your fall routine. And with salads as beautiful as this one, your efforts to get more color on the Thanksgiving table are already well underway!
