Anddddd the holiday gift guides are already in my Instagram feed. I am still digging through my kids' Halloween candy for the Yorks, please give me a moment. Our belated fall contribution this week are these Apple Cinnamon Blondie Bars. The apples make them lean a little bit towards a dense-cake-ish texture but they are delicious no matter what we want to call them. As far as weeknight meals go, we also have you covered. This soup is packed with fiber and freezeable and reheats well for the night you need a make-ahead moment. Did you ever make the Tiki Tok pasta with the tomatoes and feta cheese? It seemed so obvious but also genius and ever though tomatoes are suspect in November, I think it still works! I am also forever changed by the tip to roast spaghetti squash, width wise! And for those of you who love a lunch idea, double this edamame salad. The rice keeps it sturdy and we use tons of fresh mint and the subtle miso dressing holds it all together. It keeps well too, so you can make it in advance or have it for dinner with a piece of salmon on top. All good things!

Please holler if you have any questions at all, or want to tell me a new recipe or book you're into, or have suggestions for our December menu! Thank you for being here. xo
