October was all about cranking the oven and going full steam ahead on fall baking. This included veggie mains like these cheesy roasted cabbage wedges, bathed in a lemony cream sauce and showered in nutty Parmesan. Or these fully loaded poblanos with spiced black beans, tender onions and kale, and blistered cheese. The peppers lay atop a three-ingredient tomato sauce that can be double-batched for future weeknight meals.

Baking projects also made the list, like this lofty banoffee pie—the crust holds chewy caramel, roasted peanuts, banana slices, and a cloudlike whip. Or these sunshine yellow lemon bars, great for bake sales, dinner parties, or an anytime treat. Use the list below to explore all of October’s hits.
