Can we talk about how September is already here and its surprising to me that we are officially in the “ber” months of the yer. Also, I’ve always felt it is honestly the trickiest month to cook for? One day it still feels like the peak of summer (looking at you, Dubai), and the next day someone posts a pumpkin latte on Instagram and suddenly you’re craving cinnamon and everything spice. I’m always a little early to the fall party in my head and a little late to it in the kitchen, because the heat here just doesn’t get the memo. So this month’s lineup is exactly that in-between mood — a mix of light, fresh recipes for the days that still feel like summer, and warm, cozy bakes for the evenings that finally feel like fall is on its way.

I’ve pulled together a big list below, organized so it’s easy to scroll through: breakfast, baked goods and desserts, savory mains and snacks, cookies and bars, and drinks. Everything here has already been tested, photographed and loved in my own kitchen, so you know exactly what you’re getting into. Let’s get into it!
