Hi Reader, Because nobody remembers who brought the green beans last Thanksgiving... Perfect Thanksgiving PiesThe real Thanksgiving power move? Pumpkin Meringue Pie
Pumpkin meringue pie. At long last, a slice of pumpkin pie can be considered stunningly sophisticated as well as complete in and of itself—no dollop of whipped cream required.☞ Try this recipeCaramel Apple Pie
This caramel apple pie takes classic apple pie to the next level. For this beloved autumn dessert, warmly spiced apples are embraced in a nutty whole wheat pie crust and baked until golden. A lacquer of sweet caramel to finish takes this pie over the top.☞ Try this recipeMaple Pumpkin Pie
This maple pumpkin pie is just about as traditional as tradition can get. The crust is a flaky pâte brisée, and the filling is pumpkin purée, flavored with ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and the twist of maple syrup.☞ Try this recipeEggnog Pie
Eggnog pie is as easy to make as eggnog and bears much likeness to its rich namesake custard spiked with rum. It's just in a graham cracker crust. Think of it as a slightly tipsy-inducing cheesecake—and the most quintessential holiday dessert we can imagine when it comes to Christmas.☞ Try this recipePumpkin Pecan Pie
This pumpkin pecan pie means no longer must you confront the eternal Thanksgiving dilemma of pumpkin pie or pecan pie. Thanks to its pecan topping, it's two, two, two pies in one!☞ Try this recipeMaple Pecan Pie

This chocolate cream pie with Oreo crust is a classic American dessert. Layers of rich chocolate pudding and sweet whipped cream are nestled in the Oreo crust. It's a quick, easy, back-pocket dessert.☞ Try this recipeSour Cream Apple Pie
This sour cream apple pie is filled with layers of thinly sliced apples and a sour cream filling and then the whole shebang is smothered with a buttery streusel topping. What's not to love?!☞ Try this recipeSpiced Maple Pecan Pie with Star Anise
This pie is warm and licorice-y from the anise, toasty from the roasted pecans, and as syrupy, sugary, and toothachingly sweet as a proper pecan pie should be. I wouldn’t have it any other way, though a dollop of crème fraîche tempers the gooey filling without compromising its integrity.☞ Try this recipeS’mores Pie
This s'mores pie is as easy and authentic as can be with its graham cracker crust, chocolate fudge brownie filling, and marshmallow fluff topping. You may not ever go back to plain old s'mores.☞ Try this recipe |

Hi Reader, I have a theory.Labor Day is the last Monday of the year that isn't really a Monday.Tomorrow the schedule comes back. The calls, the deadlines, and the emails I have not been answering since Friday. And with it, the question I'll be answering every single evening until roughly June: What on earth am I making for dinner?Not every dinner needs to be a mic drop.Some of the best dinners in this house have started with an open pantry door. A box of pasta, a can of tuna, and the words...
Hi Reader, Somewhere in the first cool week, I realize I've been cheating on vegetables all summer.Don't get me wrong. I adore tomatoes still warm from the vine, sweet corn dripping with butter, and zucchini that somehow keeps multiplying when you're not looking. But then the first cool evening arrives, I turn the oven back on, and suddenly I'm head over heels for brassicas again.Brussels sprouts. Broccolini. Cauliflower. Cabbage.Poor things. They spent decades in boiling water. Entire...
Hi Reader, Every September, I tell myself I'm going to be calm.I'll plan ahead. I'll make lists. I'll chop onions before I need them. I'll even remember where I put the good serving platter instead of tearing through cabinets like I'm auditioning for a cooking-themed version of Mission: Impossible.It never quite happens that way.Instead, I find myself standing in the kitchen with sticky fingers from honey, apples rolling across the counter, and three timers going off in what sounds...
