For this bleary weather outside, a cozy chicken noodle soup with buoyant, tender meatballs, all of the noodles your heart desires (ours desire a lot) and a speed of assembly impressive even for a weeknight.

New: A stacked, striped, and I think quite dapper dessert with thin almond cake layers soaked in espresso, chocolate ganache, and an astoundingly delicious espresso buttercream. This is one of my favorite cakes on earth and I hope you fall in love with it too.

A one-pan lemon chicken with potatoes and chickpeas perfect for right now. The chicken thighs are bronzed and crisp; the roasted potatoes and chickpeas infuse with the lemony onion and garlic drippings. It's perfect.

Just saw this comment on Threads! “You can swap in maple sugar for the brown sugar. It gives it a slightly denser flavor.”

This is one of my favorite pasta bakes of all time: craggy with browned crunchy edges for miles, sausage, and broccoli rabe, and a lightly creamy pecorino sauce to hold it all together.

Let me tell you how little my friends and family minded while I reworked and updated these 2012 pumpkin cinnamon buns this fall. They're now better than ever -- bigger, gorgeously spiraled with cinnamon sugar, tender, and devastatingly delicious.

A heartier, easier take on the flavors of eggplant parmesan -- cozy and decadent, but not in a way that puts you immediately to sleep. You'll want to double this; you'll thank you later.

It's time! 🍂 In the Smitten Kitchen, October 1st is the opening day of Pumpkin Bread Season and this is my forever one-can, one-bowl recipe, which towers with a crisp cinnamon-sugar lid that's impossible not to pick off in deeply satisfying bark-like flecks.

An Eastern European savory flatbread smothered in onions and poppy seeds with the classic chew and crisp of focaccia is a cinch to make and serve with cream cheese, lox and all the good stuff. Your kitchen is going to smell otherworldly.

If you haven't fallen in love with chocolate babka yet, the only reason could be that you haven't tried it. Start here, but don't be intimidated; they're not half as complicated as they look. Even the messiest twists still bake into deeply, bronzed loaves.

A bouldered and plush intersection of baked apples and New York-style crumb cake, i.e. 50% cinnamon-brown sugar topping, 50% golden, sour cream-enriched cake, and 100% the best kind there is.

These cinnamon rolls are no-knead, effortlessly veganized, and could be coming out of your oven in just over two hours, implicitly understanding the life truth that when you want freshly-baked cinnamon rolls, you want them as soon as humanly possible.

Oat and chocolate chip cookies with both whole wheat flour and (optional) wheat germ -- no wait, come back! They're craggier, more nuanced, and flavorful than any oat cookie I've made before and I don't think you'll go back to making them the old way, either.

Letter of recommendation: Make a deep skillet of your favorite taco or burrito filling, cover it with cheese and broil the lot of it until lightly charred and gooey on top, then scoop it up with tortilla chips. Repeat as needed, which will be often.
