Spaghetti squash Parmesan is a must — rich, cheesy, and a lovely seasonal swap for pasta.

The pretzel-crusted chicken salad is loaded with flavor — pickled onions, white cheddar, and crisp apples add great texture and contrast.

For lunches, I’ll be making a big batch of Mediterranean marinated chickpeas. They’re versatile — excellent on salads, in pitas, or straight from a bowl.

And for breakfast, a batch of salted maple granola — crunchy, slightly sweet, and perfect with yogurt or milk.
