This harvest salad is what I reach for when I want something nourishing but still a little indulgent — smoky roasted sweet potatoes, crunchy cabbage and kale, creamy goat cheese, sweet pops of dried cranberries and apple… it’s got a little bit of everything in the best way.

These Cinnamon Maple Skillet Apples are everything cozy about fall wrapped into one simple side dish. The apples soften as they cook in a buttery cinnamon glaze, creating this warm, syrupy goodness that’s perfect alongside roasted meats—or even spooned over pancakes or ice cream.

These classic stuffed bell peppers are simple, hearty, and full of everyday ingredients that you probably already have on hand. The combination of ground beef, rice, tomatoes, and cheddar cheese makes this a dependable, satisfying meal that works just as well for a weeknight dinner as it does for a small gathering.

These chai snickerdoodle blondies are everything I love in a picnic dessert: soft, chewy, cinnamon-swirled, and bursting with warm chai spice.

This easy mocktail combines Ghia Original Apéritif with sparkling apple juice and a splash of lemon to cut the sweetness. It’s crisp, refreshing, and tastes like what you'd sip at a picnic in a field somewhere near a modern sculpture park.

It’s soft, spiced, and warm, with just the right amount of natural sweetness from applesauce and maple syrup. Stir everything in one bowl, pour it into a baking dish, and pop it in the oven. That’s it.

This bright, bitter-forward mocktail stars Ghia’s Original Apéritif, one of my favorite non-alcoholic spirits to keep on hand. Paired with pomegranate, lemon, and a splash of gingery fizz, this one’s bold, refreshing, and surprisingly easy to shake up.

This cozy, one-pot stew is hearty, aromatic, and packed with plant-based protein. The combo of sweet potatoes and chickpeas is magic, especially when simmered with warm spices and a splash of coconut milk. It’s one of those meals that feels like a hug in a bowl.

Barmbrack is a traditional Irish fruit loaf that’s often enjoyed with butter and tea. This slightly sweet bread is packed with raisins and dried fruits that have been soaked in strong tea, giving it an incredibly rich and moist texture.

There’s nothing quite like a warm bowl of Irish Beef & Guinness Stew on a cold evening. This dish is rich, deeply flavorful, and incredibly comforting. The secret? Guinness beer! It adds a robust, slightly malty depth to the broth, complementing the tender beef and hearty root vegetables. Serve it with crusty bread or over mashed potatoes for the full Irish experience!
