Some of the easiest meals to prepare are those made from simple roast vegetables. They're no fuss and require minimal cleanup—exactly what you need after a long day.

Topped with rich cream cheese frosting and a drizzle of vanilla caramel sauce, these fluffy apple treats are a fall must-have.

The best thing about this classic sesame-based confection (aside from the fact that it’s so delicious) is how easy it is to make at home.

This snack cake works with any kind (or mix) of seedless grapes. We prefer Thomcord grapes, which give the intense juicy punch of Concord grapes without the hassle of seeds.

This galette is just as delicious and impressive as a pie, but half the work. The apples get a quick toss in fragrant fennel seeds and vanilla before filling the rustic, flaky crust.
