"This is the answer to 'Ugh, what’s for dinner?' when I want something super easy and super yummy that I know my fam will actually eat," culinary creator Cortney LaCorte says about her equally simple and tasty baked beef tacos, which make for a crowd-pleasing dinner. "Maybe it’s the Texan in me, but a crispy taco shell stuffed with seasoned beef, refried beans, melted cheddar, and all the toppings makes my heart go aflutter." And since you're not frying anything here, you won't be sweating over the stove.

We've got apps on the brain — we couldn't help but share this recipe for Greek garlic dip, which is the perfect Mediterranean starter for those who are only familiar with hummus. The luxuriously creamy and nutty dish has plenty of bright acidity — plus, blended, cooked potatoes add a soft, velvety texture. Your mezze spread will greatly benefit from this tangy, rich, grazing bite.

The weather is gradually cooling, but we aren't in hot toddy territory yet. We're loving this easy pomegranate tequila cocktail because it's a sparkly sip that feels festive but is gorgeously light. Coconut water, tart ginger beer, and an optional glug of tequila garnished with jewel-like pomegranate seeds make for a surprisingly seasonable fall beverage.
