If I’m not feeling like making something elaborate and just want an easy, warm dessert to end an evening, this is where I turn: baked apples. Scoop out the core and stuff the insides with a mix of oatmeal, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. The baked apples soften into a spoonable treat while the brown sugar melts down into a caramel syrup.

The only thing that could make this simple autumn dessert even better would be a scoop of ice cream on the side. Naturally.

We are getting into the days when hearty casseroles and warm cheesy things are starting to sound like a good idea again; my absolute favorite time of year. Put this casserole on your list — it’s a veggie-filled riff on baked mac and cheese. It doesn’t require a roux or even much prep at all, beyond cooking the pasta. This cheesy pasta bake also hits that sweet spot of comfort food that has enough redeeming nutritional qualities to justify having it both for dinner and lunch the next day.

Put your tahini to good use this fall and get baking. This delicious spiced granola is proof that tahini has a world of uses.

I’m a sucker for a good whole-grain breakfast bowl. In many ways, I consider it the perfect breakfast; grains are a great vehicle for seasonal fruit, nuts, seeds, dried fruit, and yogurt. While I tend to stick to cooking grains with water or broth when making dinner, in the morning I like to get a little creative and cook them with something other than water. Lately my go-to has been coconut milk, and this tropical barley bowl is evidence that it can be a pretty delicious move.

I feel like gluten-free lunches get a bad rap. The easy default always seems to be a sorry salad, which is far from satisfying. Let’s clarify: Skipping the gluten does not mean resorting to boring, skimpy lunches that leave you hungry two hours later.

Instead, pack your lunchbox with one of these 10 satisfying options for a better midday meal.
