Halloween weekend is here, so this week leans cozy: warm soups and stews, a few weekend-worthy dishes, and plenty of quick curries and noodle bowls for busy weeknights.
A few faves I keep coming back to:
Blue Crab Gnocchi — homemade potato gnocchi, jumbo lump crab and pancetta beurre blanc, a weekend project worth the time
Crispy Duck Fried Rice — crispy-skinned duck tossed through egg fried rice in about an hour
Frida Chilaquiles — salsa verde tortillas topped with pulled chicken, a fried egg and cotija
The rest runs the gamut: a cozy Kimchi Stew, 35-minute Red Curry Shrimp, Delicata Squash with Calabrian chili honey, spicy South Indian Podi Chicken, Bamboo Duck Noodle Soup, a classic Pad Thai, creamy Veal Marsala, Grilled Lamb Chops with a red wine reduction, Szechuan Shrimp & Pork Dumplings, a slow-simmered Beef Curry, and Butternut Tortellacci with asiago cream.
14 ideas below, hope you find some dinner inspo! — Rhys
Glass Skin Goals? Meet Your Morning Upgrade
Glass skin is the fall beauty goal: a complexion that looks smooth, plump and luminous. Pique’s Carrara Marine Collagen makes supporting that glow a delicious part of your morning routine.
After 90 days on Carrara, 83% reported smoother skin, 80% reported plumper skin and 86% reported greater skin satisfaction.
Each serving combines Type I marine collagen to support skin radiance with rare Type II collagen, sourced from wild Hokkaido salmon, to support elasticity. Together, they bring skin support into a daily ritual that feels like a treat.
Two scoops blend into morning matcha for a creamy latte, making consistency easy as fall schedules fill up. A warm cup, a quiet moment and nourishment from within become part of the same routine.
For anyone pursuing that luminous glass-skin look through sweater season, Carrara adds a beauty upgrade to a habit they already love.
