Breakfast casserole is a beautiful thing because it puts everything you want on your plate in one warm bite. Our Breakfast Potato Casserole is essentially a baked omelet with all the toppings: hearty potatoes, flavorful veggies, savory sausage, and light, fluffy eggs. You could serve this with tortillas on the side, since it's pretty much instant breakfast burrito filling. We used mild sausage, but if you prefer more heat, go for the spicy stuff. If you'd like to prep this ahead of time, you can follow the first three steps up to a day in advance.

Boiled crab legs are so easy to prepare at home, there’s no reason to get them at a restaurant for double the price. Most seafood markets or grocery store seafood sections carry pre-cooked, flash-frozen crab legs to maintain the best quality crab meat. All you have to do to get fresh, sweet, light, and tender crab legs is boil them for a few minutes. For an extra kick, add cajun seasoning or a spice mix like Old Bay to the boiling water instead of salt.

Panera Bread’s delightful seasonal chowder features sweet corn kernels that are balanced with a creamy base and spicy accents.

It is loaded with a handful of vegetables to give you a wonderfully chunky bite with each spoonful. The smoked paprika adds a subtle smokiness that enhances the kick from the jalapeño and cayenne peppers. Finish the soup with freshly chopped cilantro and a squeeze of fresh lime juice for brightness.

Simple flavors and a rustic touch will make this soup an instant home-cooked favorite, especially on chilly, wintry days.

Is baking a potato in the air fryer as fast as baking one in the oven? Perhaps not, but it's still worth it for a beautiful, crispy skin. It's also helpful if you only need to bake a few potatoes, and can help free up space in your oven. Use evenly sized potatoes for consistent cook times. Rubbing the skins with salt and oil helps them get crispier and keep the inside of the potatoes moist. Eat them with sour cream, butter, chives, scallions, bacon, cheese, or whatever you'd top your baked potato with normally.

This versatile creamy sauce is also great over steamed veggies and multi-grain pasta.

Besides being simple enough to whip up on a moments notice, as it bakes, this easy apple cinnamon bread puts off the kind of warming, buttery, spiced aromas that usher in all the fall feels. And given just how well a warm slice pairs with a cup of coffee, don’t be surprised if you find yourself making a loaf of apple cinnamon bread on a weekly basis throughout the season. The rich quick bread is incredibly moist, thanks to the apple and sour cream, but the key to ensuring it’s as tender as possible is to avoid over-mixing. In fact, once the final addition of dry ingredients has been added to the batter, it’s helpful to finish incorporating everything together by hand, using a rubber spatula, rather than continuing to whip the batter with an electric mixer. We used Granny Smith apple in testing the recipe, but you can really use any apple variety you have on hand. Feel free to substitute the pecans called for walnuts, or leave the nuts out entirely.
