All about Fall

HEY ANo tefromPaulab

Y’ALL

ONE OF MY FAVORITE TIMES OF YEAR IS

HERE, and I am all about it. I can’t get enough of

autumn’s abundance of produce, family tailgates,

and the tasty seasonal recipes I return to year

after year. I love bringing the harvest season to

my kitchen, so I’ve fi lled this issue with recipes

brimming with fall fl avor.

Some of my go-to ingredients are sweet

potatoes, and I incorporate them into my cooking

and baking every which way. From breakfast

goodies to one-dish dinners to desserts, the recipes

starting on page 29 will hit the spot morning,

noon, and night. Cinnamon is another versatile

ingredient I love, especially in autumn, because of

the rich warmth it brings, and your family will be

asking for seconds of the decadent treats starring

this sweet spice, beginning on page 57.

October’s cooler weather makes me want to

gather my loved ones for a cozy family meal, too, so

I’m sharing some of my heartiest menus ever. For

good old-fashioned country cooking, try the fried

chicken and all the tasty fi xin’s on pages 37–42, and

put a pot on the stove for the soups and stews of

all kinds starting on page 43. Because I love pasta

so much, I even created a menu that makes this

beloved ingredient the star of the show (pages 23–

28), and whether you eat them all together or pick

just one to try, they’re sure to be crowd-pleasers.

From creative takes on cornbread (pages 51–56)

and classic chicken pot pie (page 79) to Bobby’s

modern spin on pizza night (pages 69–71) and

Jamie’s mash-ups of his family’s favorite dishes

(pages 65–67), this issue has something yummy

and fun for everyone. I hope this autumnal fare

inspires you to make the most of the season and

enjoy it to the fullest withyournearestanddearest.
