Hi Reader!

The evenings are finally starting to cool off after a LOOONGG summer here in Mississippi, and it’s the perfect excuse to slow down and make something hearty for dinner. There’s just something about a warm kitchen, a simmering pot, and those first cozy meals of the season that feels so grounding after a busy week!

This week, I’ve pulled together a lineup of fall dinner favorites - simple, filling, and made for weeknights when you want comfort without a lot of fuss. These are the recipes that make the transition into cooler weather so much better.
