I’m still enjoying sunny summerlike days where I live in Seattle, but as soon as the sun sets, it gets chilly and feels more like fall. I’m not quite at the point where I want hearty stews nonstop, but I’m also not craving the lighter dishes I did during the peak of summer. So it got me wondering—what’s the perfect combination of these two seasons? The answer: cozy yet fresh dishes made in cast-iron skillets!

Eggs in Tomato Sauce with Chickpeas & Spinach
Sundays are when I prioritize rest as much as possible, so the Chicken & Spinach Skillet Pasta with Lemon & Parmesan is a regular recipe I turn to. Apart from boiling the pasta, it comes together in a single cast-iron pan, which makes for streamlined cooking and easy cleanup. It’s full of flavor, with garlic, lemon and Parmesan being standout ingredients, plus plenty of fresh spinach (10 cups!) for a veggie kick.
The week just keeps getting better with other cast-iron recipes like Monday’s comforting Eggs in Tomato Sauce with Chickpeas & Spinach. This recipe calls for fresh thyme but it’s delicious with any fresh herb, so if you have some to use up, experiment with adding others in. Friday’s Skillet Caprese Chicken Casserole features the classic summer combination of tomatoes, basil and mozzarella with the coziness I’m craving on those cooler nights. Paired with simple sautéed zucchini and mushrooms, it makes for a delicious way to end the week.
