Fall is my favorite season for spending time in the great outdoors, because it means steaming hot cocoa and hearty chili cooked over an open flame. But if you don’t have a campfire nearby, this s’mores pie is the next best thing. A graham cracker crust holds sweet chocolate custard and light-as-air marshmallow cream. After a quick toast with a kitchen torch, you may never bother with original s’mores again!

We’re definitely all thinking it: How is it September already? Is summer really over? But don’t be glum — we’re heading into one of our favorite times of year for cooking! These are the days when chilly evenings make it a pleasure to be in the kitchen, especially when the result is something that fills the house with tantalizing aromas.
We’ve gathered here some of the recipes that we think are essential for this time of year, like our favorite homemade sandwich bread, stovetop mac n’ cheese for a cozy weeknight meal, snack bars to help you through your longest days, and maple blondies for a quick and well-deserved treat.

“This cool cucumber salad marinated in a sweet vinegar dill dressing makes a tasty and refreshing side dish.”

This is the weekend of summer’s end, the last roar of the golden lion before the autumn routine sweeps in and tames his fire. All around me, the energy is bright and active as people scurry out to catch the last few drops of sunshine, rushing to squeeze in all the summertime things: picnics and backyard grilling and impulsive leaps off of the pier into a still warm lake. All this vitality and celebration is quite wonderful but I’m not feeling it as I gently tilt my shutters against the sun and turn off my cellphone. I’m a bit out of step, but this weekend I’m feeling low-key and want a scaled down, less brightly lit universe. Small and quiet.

A simple vegetarian pasta for the whole family. To make it even faster, you could use angel-hair pasta, which takes a couple of minutes to cook. Omit… by Guest on Sunday, September 1, 2013
