It's mid-October in Wisconsin and the oven is fully back in rotation. Here are four recipes I'm putting on the menu this weekend and into the week ahead.

Oven Roasted Whole Chicken: Garlic-herb butter goes right under the skin for deep flavor, and once it's in the oven, dinner takes care of itself.

Baked Tortellini with Meat Sauce: Cheese tortellini baked in meaty marinara and covered in bubbling mozzarella — simple ingredients and on the table in under an hour.

Spice Rubbed Chicken Wings: A bold brown sugar spice rub, 10 minutes of prep, and no deep fryer required, crispy and smoky whether you go oven or air fryer.

Lemon Garlic Salmon Skewers: Seven ingredients, marinated in lemon, garlic, and parsley, then grilled until perfectly tender, done in about 30 minutes.

Hope something here sounds good to you this weekend. Talk soon,
