In my personal experience, the opinions about office potlucks are pretty black and white: Folks either love them or hate them (and a few in the middle simply tolerate them, as it means a few legitimate minutes to not work). As usual, things with strong feeling result in the best quotes from the internet. I’ve rounded up a few to make you chuckle as you surf our recipe archives for your go-to holiday potluck dish.

As soon as there’s even the slightest chill in the air, it’s just basic human nature to get a hankering for roasts. Why? Roasting is best during the fall and winter months, when you don’t mind the heat that leaving your oven on at 350°F for two hours brings to the house. Hearty meals like beef stew and roast chicken with all the trimmings also taste best when it’s a little cold out.

Friendsgiving is the best! All the delicious food and festivities of regular Thanksgiving — with more wine, better music, and fewer questions about why you’re still single!

If you’re a Friendsgiving guest, you already know to bring at least one side and a bottle of wine. But don’t stop there: The best guests are ones who don’t just show up, eat, and leave, but make an effort to help with cleanup so your host isn’t stuck doing hours of work later. Here are three things all good, non-monstery people do for Friendsgiving cleanup.

It’s about this time of year that I start getting antsy, culinarily speaking. It’s getting colder and my body craves those hearty dishes of squash and legumes. But I’m also not ready to completely let go of the bright, fresh flavors of warmer days. This couscous salad with its roasted squash and citrusy vinaigrette bridges the gap.

It’s no secret that Costco’s main schtick is selling in bulk. They have fantastic products for very low prices. But unless you really want 20 pounds of onions when your recipe calls for half a cup, Costco is probably not your go-to store if you’re planning on making a classic Thanksgiving dinner from scratch. There is, however, one thing that everyone (hosts and guests) should buy from Costco for Thanksgiving: the pumpkin pie.

The best cocktails don’t require a whole lot of effort, but win accolades with friends. This is one of those cocktails. It starts as a classic crowd-pleaser — the margarita — and then leans into fall with the help of plenty of tart cranberry juice. If you’re hosting Friendsgiving this year, this is the easy pitcher drink to serve while the turkey is roasting and friends trickle in with stuffing and mashed potatoes and pies. It comes together in a matter of minutes and may disappear just as quickly.

Welcome to Kitchn’s series My Healthy Morning, where we show you how one person greets the day in a way that makes them feel their best. Each post will chronicle how that person defines healthy for themselves, and the habits and recipes that make their morning a little bit better.

Joy Wilson created her wildly popular food blog, Joy the Baker, almost 10 years ago now. In the past decade we’ve made dozens of cookies and cakes thanks to her recipes, we’ve gobbled up her cookbooks, and have been inspired by her Instagram feed (yes, that also includes Drake on Cake.). In short: Where this New Orleans-based food writer leads, we will follow.

And while you could call Joy the queen of butter and cream, you also wouldn’t be surprised that her morning routine and her ideas on what constitutes as “healthy”are all about balance. She drinks hot water with a squeeze of lemon and apple cider vinegar, and then tests recipes for delicious pumpkin scones.

Here’s a peek into how Joy Wilson spends the first couple hours of her day.

“What pan do I use to make the soup?” he called from the kitchen — and I lost it. First of all, the soup was already made, so it needed to be heated, not “made.” Semantics aside, the question was ridiculous. What pan? The one that fits the soup, obviously.

My husband, the one who’s been using the same pans I have for the last 20 years, needed my help to heat soup.
