As the leaves start to turn and that first cool snap hits the air, it’s hard to think about anything but fall baking. Nothing says the season has arrived quite like the warm spices in a pumpkin dessert. So if you love the cozy flavor of classic pumpkin bread but want something built for a crowd, then this pumpkin sheet cake is exactly what the season calls for.

I shared a recipe for beef tips and gravy three years ago, and it has become one of my favorite comfort food dinners. It’s so universally loved that I’d make it every week if it weren’t for one thing: time. See, the hours on the stove that are so essential to turning beef chuck roast tender are hours that I can’t always spare. Instead of giving up on a dinner that I love, I figured out a way to serve the same flavors in a fraction of the time.

While I’m all about organizing my kitchen, I’m less inclined if an organizational tool takes some effort to install (read: it requires breaking out a drill). The easier, the better — and if it’s affordable, that’s the best. So, naturally, when I spotted Seropy’s Magnetic Paper Towel Holder on Amazon I was immediately a fan. It checked both of those boxes: easy installation and under $10. Plus, it’ll give you back some precious counter space. Win-win-win!

If you’re one of those people who gets irritated by the specter of pumpkin spice — or, gasp, Halloween decor — on an 85-degree week in September; if you understand that there are what will feel like infinite months left to spend shivering and longing for stew, and there’s no reason to beckon them any sooner; if you find yourself gritting out “but there’s another week of summer!” at your screen when confronted with ads for wool coats and other things you simply refuse to acknowledge before you must, come sit down. You’re among friends.
Well, a single friend. It’s feeling lonely here. But I insist upon embracing summer cooking for as long as summer produce lasts — tomatoes in particular. I miss them all winter too much to throw them out of the kitchen when the first apple arrives.
[I also want to make it absolutely clear that no matter how it seems, I am not projecting my complicated feelings about one child starting middle school and the other, their senior year of high school, on dwindling summer produce. Not even a little.]
No ricotta? No problem.

If there’s anything Yellowstone taught me, it’s that there’s a lot more to being a cowboy than just breaking broncos, playing cards in the bunkhouse, and wearing Levi’s jeans. It’s actually a lot of hard, rugged work. That kind of fast-paced lifestyle naturally requires coffee. And, sure enough, cowboys developed their own style. So what is cowboy coffee? Probably not exactly what you think.
