Most cooks know that the best way to guarantee home-cooked dinners is to plan a weeknight menu in advance. In reality, though, I often head to the market with just a few ideas in mind and come up with a menu while staring at the meat counter or strolling the produce bins. This is risky business, since it can lead to meals my kids find boring (roast chicken again?), and a few stray ingredients in search of a home (Oh hello eggplant! Remind me what I had in mind for you?). As for dessert—it doesn’t even enter the realm of weeknight cooking unless it’s in the frozen section.

I’ve never been super into watching football, despite being a big fan of game-day snacks.

But now that I’m parenting a certified Swiftie and Taylor’s dating The Guy on the Chiefs…well, let’s just say that the big game is a little bit more on my radar than usual this year.

The food is still the most important part of any game-day party, though, if you ask me. I love loading up on a plate full of chips and dips, but will also never say no to a great sandwich or bowl of chili or helping of cheesy potatoes.

Our 34 Best Gluten-Free Baking Recipes

Gluten-free baking often gets a bad rap, but that doesn’t need to be the case. By using alternative flours, grains, and starches, you can get results similar to those in traditional, wheat-based recipes—but even better is using these ingredients to achieve textures and flavors that are unique and delicious in their own right. You can use glutinous rice flour to make a chewy, squishy mochi cake, for example, or reach for almond meal to make a dense, rich torte. And those are just cakes—you can also make satisfying breads, cookies, pies, and more that just so happen to be without gluten. To get you started, here are 34 of our best gluten-free baking recipes.


Gluten-Free Breads

Of all the baked goods to turn gluten-free, breads are probably the toughest to get right. These four recipes will always have your back, though—whether you’re making a simple bread for sandwiches or cornbread to serve with your next bowl of chili.

5 New Recipes We Loved in October

Looking at October’s new recipes, it’s clear that baking season is in full swing: Three of the five recipes that we published this month are for baking projects—a proportion we likely wouldn’t have seen just a month or two ago. It’s clear that it was also a month for bold, dynamic flavors. Think: focaccia doused with a spicy, earthy coffee-chili crisp, big plate chicken that’s been “turbo-charged,” and pots de crème flavored with a winning combination of chocolate and hazelnuts. Without further ado, here are five new recipes we published in October.

1. Hazelnut Chocolate Pots de Crème With Hazelnut Brittle

These individual pots de crème are ideal for all the fall and winter dinner parties you have coming up—but it’s the orange-scented hazelnut brittle that really steals the show.
