In addition to being a favorite, this is also my g In addition to being a favorite, this is also my go-to “emergency meal.” We always have the ingredients on hand, just in case. Who has time to cook every night? Sometimes you need an easy-win recipe. This chili comes together in about 30 minutes on the stove, could only be made easier if the cans opened themselves, and tastes rich and hearty. You have some options for the heat level, which also makes this a great meal to adapt to your preferences.

Close your eyes and take a deep breath in. Can you Close your eyes and take a deep breath in. Can you smell the pumpkin spice? Do you feel the chill in the air? Can you hear the leaves crunching? That’s right, it’s October, the most magical month of the year (in my humble opinion). With warm autumn spices and chewy oatmeal, these pumpkin chocolate chip cookies will be your fall staple. These cookies are soft and cakey, gently spiced, and with bursts of rich chocolate and added texture from the oats. They taste like an oatmeal cream pie mixed with pumpkin pie.
