All the Fixin’s: Root and Sausage Pie
Well, friends, we went full autumn for this one. The days are officially short, the air is crisp, and winter vegetables are fully in season.

What to Cook in the Fall: Zelda’s To-Do List

Down With Our Pumpkin Overlords
Everyone has that one thing that they don’t like that everyone else can’t seem to understand. For my roommate, Steph, that thing is bananas. She doesn’t understand why people feel the need to put bananas in bread, flavor candy with their abhorrent presence, or ruin ice cream with their potassium-filled yellowness. How Steph feels about…

Don’t You Just Love New York in the Fall?
It makes me want to buy school supplies, and do all of the things on this list. New York in the fall is New York at its best, conjuring up Nora Ephron and Rob Reiner visions of a city gone sepia-toned. You can keep your summer rooftop bars and your springtime row boats and your…
