What I’m loving this week:

Savory butternut squash soup — cozy and comforting.

A chocolate walnut smoothie that looks rich and satisfying.

Baked macaroni and cheese that promises a golden, cheesy crust.

A decadent caramel pie that sounds irresistible.

Everything bagel scallion cream cheese pull-apart bread — such a fun twist on a classic.

A charming Christmas butler’s pantry that’s full of holiday inspiration.

Swedish meatballs — tempting and comforting.

A weeknight baked meatball penne pasta casserole that’s hearty and easy.

Fall chickpea salad for a bright, seasonal side or light meal.

An oatmeal chocolate chip snack cake that’s great for baking at home.

A caramel cranberry nut tart — sweet, tart, and crunchy.

Beef enchiladas that hit the spot when you’re craving something bold.

Potato dinner rolls that are pillowy and delicious.

An apple cider, bourbon & amaretto cocktail with brûléed oranges to finish the evening.
