I wanted something easy and fitting for an autumn gathering. I found a sweet potato hummus recipe and altered it to make it even easier to make. It is a nice combination of naturally sweet and typically savory. Serve with pita wedges, crackers, or cut veggies.

Easy, Spicy Roasted Potatoes
These spicy roasted potatoes made with chili powder and other seasonings are a slight variation to standard home fries. I make these spicy spuds for breakfast every Sunday, and my family loves them!
Juicy Baked Chicken Breast
The beauty of this recipe is it's fast to make, requires minimal ingredients, and results in a juicy chicken breast. The bonus: if you pop some veggies alongside, you'll have the makings of a complete meal. The spices can also be adjusted to taste.
Summer Cabbage Salad
A great salad for summer days, cool, crunchy and refreshingly light. The chicken breasts are preferably barbecued for extra flavor, but baked is ok too. I also often double this recipe and make 3 times the dressing and there is always great lunch leftovers remaining. People also love the dressing so more typically goes onto the salad when you let them self serve than would normally, and that's ok, it makes it very flavorful. You can also crush up the ramen not used when making the dressing, and top the salad with these as well. I prefer them without.
