This week's recipe leans into Halloween folklore: garlic has a centuries old reputation for keeping vampires away, and these crispy garlic fries make the flavor case just as strongly. Russet potato wedges roast with fresh garlic, olive oil, and black pepper until golden and crisp.

Prime Day is coming October 6-7, and this year I put together a roundup ahead of time instead of scrambling once the sale actually starts. The Thanksgiving side is built around an actual hosting day, not just a pile of gadgets: prep, oven overflow, carving, and leftover storage, plus a nod to my own cookbook, Talking Turkey. The Halloween side keeps things welcoming rather than gimmicky. And if you're not signed up for Amazon Prime yet, this is genuinely the window where it matters. Full roundup, and the thinking behind each pick: https://the-good-plate.com/newsletters/amazonprime-day-october-2026/

This Honey Jalapeno Chicken and Dragon Eggs recipe pairs honey jalapeno marinated chicken thighs with colcannon stuffed twice baked potatoes, rubbed in edible gold for a Halloween table with a little dragon story built in. The chicken cooks on a barbecue grill, a rotisserie, or a cast iron pan, then gets finished with a glossy honey jalapeno glaze.

  I've been making a lot of baklava lately, but this one is different: Cherry Lime Rickey Round Baklava, built around the flavor of the old soda fountain drink instead of the usual honey and nuts. One full sheet of phyllo per pastry, cherries and lime baked into the dough itself, and a restrained hand with the sugar, since the filling is really the only sweet part. Full recipe, history of the rickey, and a video walkthrough: https://the-good-plate.com/cherry-lime-rickey-round-baklava/ #Baklava #CherryLimeRickey #TheGoodPlate

  🌸 Is this flower stand secretly the best thing you're not using for your herb garden? I ordered this flower display stand — and yes, it's genuinely built for cut, long-stemmed flowers, not potted plants — and put it through 6+ months outdoors, including a windstorm that sent my other plants running for cover. It didn't budge. Then I put it to work holding fresh-cut herbs instead, and it turned out to be just as good at that.

  Did you know tomatoes do not have to be ripe to be worth eating? Air Fryer Fried Green Tomatoes take the firm, tart ones and turn them into a crisp, tangy bite. A yogurt and Crystal hot sauce coating stands in for egg, seasoned cornmeal goes on with a shake in a bag, and seven minutes in the air fryer finishes the job.
