Short Ribs are definitely high up on my list of favorite foods, if I see a dish with short ribs in it on a menu, you can almost guarantee I will order it. Short Ribs are also one of my go-to ingredients when I want a comforting melt-in-your-mouth sort of meal. These short ribs are cooked low and slow and are perfectly paired with creamy garlic sage mashed potatoes. For this dish, you'll need quite a few more ingredients than most of my other recipes, but trust me, its worth it, all the flavors come together perfectly, and I'll bet this meal becomes one of your go-to for a warming Sunday comfort meal.

Don't you love when you can have a fall meal, but it's still warm enough to grill? This dish is a fall-favorite in my household - we make it a few times every October. It gives you those delicious fall flavors, but with those smokey, grilled flavors added in, the perfect combination for an easy early fall meal! Pork chops, apples and brussels sprouts go to together so perfectly, and using the glaze on all three elements brings everything together.

Fall is hands down my favorite time of year, I love everything about it: the crisp air, changing leaves, Halloween, and most of all, fall flavors!! I know its only September, and some places, like here in Virginia, Autumn temperatures are still slowly beating out the 80 degree days, but I am ready! Expect lots of fall-inspired recipes from me over the next couple months - sorry, I'm really not sorry 😉 This melt combines some of my favorite fall ingredients, especially smoked turkey, apple and cranberries. Every year for Thanksgiving we make cranberry brie bites for an appetizer, and I look forward to it every year. I decided to take that concept and make a melty, crispy turkey sandwich.

My husband is my go-to taste-tester and biggest critic, and since his favorite foods are anything spicy (think hot sauce on EVERYTHING) and tacos, I decided to combine to the two and make these HOT Chicken Tacos. These were inspired by a combination of Nashville Hot Chicken and Buffalo Wings, and they are delicious but very HOT, however, they can easily be adapted so even those who hate spicy foods can enjoy these!

If tell me you didn't love grilled cheese growing up, I'd tell you you were lying. To this day, grilled cheese is one of my favorite meals, but over the years, I've worked to create a more "grown up" version that's full of flavor, perfectly crispy, with gooey cheese.

Am I the only one who thinks its never too early to start making fall soups and stews? I sure hope not! This Instant Pot Butternut Squash soup is a favorite in my house, its super flavorful, super simple, and super delicious.
