I am a firm believer that if you have a great go-to dip recipe (and you just need one!), you will be significantly less stressed anytime you are a) hosting a party b) attending a potluck or c) craving dip. 

Despite the warm fall weather, it's never too early to enjoy a warm mug of hot chocolate. We particularly love hot chocolate on Sundays, when we're winding down from the weekend and relaxing indoors. So to make our mugs a little more exciting, we came up with these crunchy dippers that pair perfectly with a warm drink. If you like biscotti with your coffee, or Oreos dunked in milk, we guarantee you'll love this fall-flavored combination. 

I think these might be the best muffins we've ever made. I often find bakery muffins to be dry bland, but these convinced me that it's possible to create a moist, flavorful muffin—filled with grated apple and cinnamon, no less. But it gets better. These are made entirely with whole wheat and almond flour, giving them a nutty flavor and a nutritional boost. 

Millet is one of our favorite grains: it's slightly sweet, nutty, and can be prepared crunchy like rice or creamy like oats. It's a wonderful base for a grain bowl, as a side dish to soups or roasted squash, or, in this case, shaped into a burger and baked until crisp. 

While it's natural to turn to berries for smoothie-making, green smoothies are just as easy and are incredibly nutritious. Our goal with this recipe? To prove to you how simple—and tasty!—green smoothies can be (trust us, you can't taste those leafy greens). And isn't this one gorgeous? 

This vibrant salad is filled with all the best flavors of summer—think sweet corn, juicy blueberries, crunchy cucumbers, and more. We always find an excuse to make it multiple times each summer (our friends and family have started requesting it), and this year we ate it as part of an al fresco picnic in the park, alongside hummus, orzo salad, cheese, bread, and wine. But it's just as good eaten inside, helping you to escape the summer heat. You'll want to eat it this month when the produce is at its prime!
