“As a proud Upstate New Yorker, this spicy, creamy, hearty pasta is the ultimate comfort food for me. I first encountered chicken riggies at the restaurant where I worked summers during college, and after a long shift on my feet, I always looked forward to bringing home leftovers to devour well after closing time. The jarred marinara in this version makes this nostalgic classic especially achievable on a weeknight.” —Brenna Donovan, Senior Editor

“I grew up eating pumpkin chocolate chip muffins, but my mom always stirred in white chocolate chips instead of regular chocolate chips, a tradition I continue to this day. It simply isn’t fall yet until I’ve whipped up a batch of these moist muffins.” —Megan Scott, Simply Recipes Editor

“I’ve been waiting since this recipe was published last fall to make it again—it’s so good! I love that the base of this hearty, cozy “lasagna” is cabbage instead of pasta (a fun twist!) and that the recipe only needs five ingredients and one pot to make.” —Afton Cyrus, Senior Editor

Two editors picked this recipe—and it’s easy to see why.
“Banana bread is one of those recipes I’m happy to make year-round, but this pumpkin spice version makes me especially excited for fall. It has the familiar banana flavor I love, plus canned pumpkin and plenty of warm spice. Even better, the batter comes together in one bowl. It’s just the recipe to kick off fall baking.” —Haley Scarpino, Associate Editor
“As soon as the temperatures dip into the 70s, I pull my jar of pumpkin pie spice to the front of the spice cabinet, and I’ve got my eye on this Pumpkin Spice Banana Bread to give my weekly loaf the autumnal treatment I’m craving. I plan to make two loaves in one go and to top them both with pumpkin seeds.” —Sarah Crowder, Senior Art Director

“Everyone needs a go-to sausage and white bean soup recipe, and I dust this one off every fall as I start to crave cozy but still quick and easy dinner recipes. I often swap kale for spinach and throw a parmesan rind into the soup as it simmers.” —Megan Scott, Simply Recipes Editor

“Apples might get all the fall recipe glory, but after visiting the pear harvest in the Pacific Northwest last year, I am firmly team pear. (Yes, I was pear-pilled, and no, I’m not mad about it!) I can’t wait to make these four-ingredient sticky pears as an easy dessert on the next chilly evening that comes my way this fall.” —Afton Cyrus, Senior Editor

“As someone who is not a hot-weather gal, I revel in the changing seasons. Turning leaves, the crisp chill of the morning air, my growing collection of living room throws, rewatches of Gilmore Girls… Fall could not come any faster. And with that, the beauty of cozy autumnal foods, specifically soups. My go-to for the fall season is this Easy Tuscan Ribollita. Filled to the brim with an abundance of vegetables and beans and served with a simple garlicky piece of toast, this soup is the complete meal that calls for you to relax on your couch as you enjoy it.” —Munni Pramanik, Editorial Projects Manager

“I can’t wait to try the super smart technique in Mammaw’s Stuffed Cabbage recipe, where you freeze the cabbage before assembling to avoid the hassle of boiling. And I love that it’s prepared on the stovetop, so I can make it when I’m craving fall flavors, even when it’s still too hot to turn on my oven.” —Sarah Crowder, Senior Art Director

“I love fall for plenty of reasons, but the return of soup season is near the top of my list. This baked potato soup has everything I love about a loaded baked potato—cheese, bacon, sour cream—wrapped up in a creamy, comforting soup. I’m already looking forward to the first chilly night when I can make a pot, pile on the toppings, and dig in.” —Haley Scarpino, Associate Editor
