Sarah’s Top Tips for the Week

• Air fryer hack: Make extra dry-rubbed chicken thighs to use in lunches, salads, or sandwiches later in the week.
• Quick side idea: Serve the cavatelli with garlic bread or a simple green salad for a complete meal.
• Sweet & spicy balance: Add more vegetables to the sweet chili stir fry — bell peppers and broccoli are great choices.
• Chili night prep: Double the chili and freeze half for an easy future dinner.
• Fall flavor moment: Pair the apple cider pork chops with roasted sweet potatoes or creamy mashed potatoes to soak up the sauce.
