Bobbing for apples is so 2019.

Lately by the end of the week, I have absolutely zero energy to cook. That’s when I lean on dinners with the fewest possible ingredients and the smartest grocery-store shortcuts. Some rely on ready-made items like salad dressing or a bag of coleslaw mix, while others start with pre-prepped produce to save time. Whatever helps get dinner on the table.

A big casserole dish filled with baked pasta is the easiest (and tastiest) way to feed all of your family and friends.

One thing I always keep stashed in my fridge: a pack (or two) of chicken sausage. I consider it my in-case-of-emergency dinner solution. May I suggest you do the same? Partnered with a few items from the pantry or the freezer, it’s a super-handy ingredient for easy weeknight dinners. It also comes in a ton of different flavors — spicy andouille, Italian herb, apple-chardonnay, and pesto, to name a few.

A s’mores party is most fun, I think, when you have a creative array of options to cobble together over-the-top treats. My sister and I brainstormed crazy s’mores for weeks, including these pretty rad key lime s’mores. Together, we rounded up 12 of the most popular s’mores ideas, including two savory s’more sandwiches.
