If you need a festive fall cocktail for your next gathering, we've got the perfect batch cocktail for you. Even better, the mocktail version is out of this world tasty too!! Either way you play it, these apple cider margaritas are key to easy hosting this fall!

Celebrating this new season + website with my all-time favorite food to experiment with: PASTA. It’s finally feeling like Fall in Texas and there’s no better cozy, weeknight dinner than a skillet orzo in my opinion! This one’s already a favorite in my house. This sweet savory orzo dish with sweet butternut squash, wilted spinach, creamy ricotta and finished with crunchy, fresh basil breadcrumbs. I’m telling you, this one’s a no brainer for Fall.

If you also grew up going to California Pizza Kitchen, then you know how incredible this salad is! This is just one of those nostalgic cravings that hit me hard the other day and I knew I had to make it: chopped romaine, fresh corn and tomatoes, tangy bbq glazed chicken, cilantro ranch and crunchy tortilla chips. Is your mouth watering yet or just me? Even better, this one is dairy-free friendly, gluten-free and lightened up a bit!

My love of an everything lox bagel knows no bounds. To me, it has the perfect flavor combo: salty, garlicky, seedy, creamy, umami and pickle-y, which led my brain down a flavor rabbit hole, eventually culminating into the perfect summer pasta salad. I seriously haven't been this obsessed with a pasta salad in a long time. It's one that will have you coming back to the fridge for another bite over and over again.

Vietnamese food is just always a treat in my book, particularly Bahn Mi sandwiches and my absolute favorite place of all time for Bahn Mi is Nammi located in the Dallas Farmer's Market. They make an INCREDIBLE Bahn Mi that inspired me to make my own spin that is meal prep friendly and delicious! I hope you enjoy!

I don't know HOW this recipe slipped through the cracks! My Greek Inspired Lamb Meatballs + Garlic Yogurt Sauce is one of my most requested recipes and I am finally adding the recipe to the blog!! I love these meatballs because they are herby, flavorful and delicious with tangy, creamy yogurt sauce. Makes for an awesome app for your next dinner party or with lettuce cups, couscous or basmati for a weeknight dinner. Either way, you can't go wrong!

I live for a squash recipe and if I had to pick my favorite, THIS is it. I have made this recipe countless times for friends and family and it is always a crowd-pleaser and also the perfect thing to make when hosting because it's hearty, oh-so flavorful and make-ahead friendly!

I am a sucker for a one-pot meal. A sure fire easy dinner and the easy clean up doesn't hurt either! With Fall upon us, there's no better time to have a quick, hearty, flavorful meal on hand for easy weeknight dinners and this is definitely one to add to your rotation! Spiced butternut squash and herby chicken tossed with delicious cheesy farro and jasmine rice. Deliciously filling and makes for great leftovers...or seconds :)

I love a good snack opportunity and I have to say this one really hits the spot! Crispy, garlicky bread paired with creamy basil ricotta dip is a match made in heaven and SO easy to throw together, not to mention a great way to use that fresh garden basil!

When asked what I like to make and eat most, the answer is emphatically PASTA. If you need a zesty, summery pasta dish to add to your repertoire, this one is for you! This pasta paired with a white wine and lemon garlic sauce, broccolini and toasted bread crumbs makes for a perfect meatless meal or can be served alongside chicken or shrimp. It's a win-win either way!

The GEM in Dallas is one of my go-tos when I need a healthy pick up. They have this incredible jalapeno pesto hummus that immediately got my wheels turning and I knew I had to figure out how to recreate it! And here we are: with a super meal prep friendly, clean and delicious snack to add to your repertoire.

Juicy ground beef, tangy tomato, pickle, mustard and cheddar, this cheeseburger bake has it all (minus the guilt) and is the perfect thing to squash that cheeseburger craving. Did she really just do that? Yes, she did ;) Dare I say, it's even better the next day? If you have leftovers that is.

Here's a 5 ingredient showstopper to bring to your next gathering. Juicy peaches, creamy ricotta, hot honey and basil create the most insanely delicious flavor bomb and bonus: it couldn't be easier!

If I could eat buffalo wings and ranch every day for the rest of my life, I absolutely would. The combo makes my mouth water on cue every time and so I love coming up with more balanced meal ideas with this flavor duo.
