As the weather cools down, it's tempting to take shortcuts to get a warm meal on the table. Picking up takeout may seem like the only option — especially on busy weeknights — but this roundup of easy recipes proves just how easy it is to recreate your favorites at home.
If you need an afternoon pick-me-up before planning dinner, look no further than our pumpkin spice latte. Making the festive treat from scratch spares you from waiting in a long drive-through line — especially at the start of the season. Moving on to the mains, save the time it takes to get sesame chicken delivered by making it on a sheet pan. Or, if you’re craving Southern comfort food, shrimp and grits can be prepped in 20 minutes flat. We also have copycat chili and cheddar bay biscuits that taste just as good as (if not better than) they do from your go-to chains.
