    The Creamiest Butternut Squash Soup

    The creamiest butternut squash soup — so healthy yet if feels so indulgent. Definitely the way to start Fall off right.

    This soup is a breeze to make with only five main ingredients: butternut squash, potatoes, onions, carrots and chicken stock. The potatoes and squash are roasted together until tender, while the onions and carrots get sautéed until softened. The squash, potatoes and stock are then added to the pot with the onions and carrots and everything gets simmered before being pureed with an immersion blender or in a blender.

    Your Guide To Apple Season

    As autumn approaches and the air turns crisp, so do the apples. Thankfully, the variety of readily available apples has increased in recent years. Gone are the days of only Red and Golden Delicious, or Granny Smith apples to choose from.

    We've chosen five apple varieties that are widely available and range from super-sweet to very tart. 

    I won't bother with the ubiquitous Red Delicious apple, as I think we've all eaten enough of them, and as you'll see there are plenty of better apples to stuff into a lunch bag.

    Make some homemade bread this weekend.

    With the sudden popularity of homemade Dutch oven bread baking, Le Creuset answered with their new Bread Oven. They kept their legendary enameled cast iron for superior heat distribution and created a shape uniquely designed to produce bakery-quality results. A deep domed lid traps and circulates steam for the perfect rise and ultimate flavor, while the low-profile base promotes even browning and bakes a golden, crispy crust marked with our hallmark three rings.

    With an easy-to-clean matte black interior enamel and ergonomic knobs and handles, the Le Creuset Bread Oven makes it effortless to bake like the experts right from home.

    Meet the Pizzaiolo from Breville

    The magic of the Pizzaiolo comes from the intense heat it produces, and its ability to replicate the three distinct types of heat generated in a traditional brick oven — conductive, radiant and convective.

    The Breville Smart Oven Pizzaiolo is the first consumer countertop oven to hit 750˚F and its Element iQ system replicates the ideal baking environment for authentic Neapolitan, New York style, Pan, Thin & Crispy, as well as Frozen pizzas. And at only 18" wide x 18" deep and 10" high the Pizzaiolo can fit on the countertop in most kitchens,  

    Keep pizza dough and some staples on hand and homemade pizza is always a dinner or snack choice!
