22 Easy Weeknight Dinners for September

By Joe Sevier and Nina Moskowitz

September is a sweet spot for simple weeknight cooking. A little bit summer, a little bit fall, it’s raw produce’s time to shine. Tomatoes, peppers, and basil are coming in strong, and there’s so much zucchini that farmers are practically giving it away. At the same time, the first signs of fall (apples! Leaves turning colors! Your coffee shop’s seasonal menu!) are popping up left, right, and center. This is our team’s recipe wishlist for the month.

No-Mayo Tuna Salad

By Rebecca Firkser

Instead of the stiff scoopable mixture you’d find at a deli counter, this recipe is inspired by Italian-style tuna, with just-broken-up fish fillets tossed with a bright vinaigrette, herbs, and crunchy celery. Add a can of white beans for heft and serve with peppery greens like arugula or a hardy chicory like radicchio. Store the salad and greens separately and it’ll stay just as punchy and fresh throughout the week.

I Dropped, Shook, Stained (and Sometimes Shattered) Food Storage Containers to Find the 3 Most Durable Picks

By Wilder Davies

A word of advice from the BA reviews team: If a food storage container purports to be leakproof, stainproof, or shatterproof, take it with a grain of salt. We’ve tested over a dozen different plastic, glass, and silicone storage sets over the years and have found that many of these brands’ boastful claims fall short of their promises when actually put to the test.

After our most recent round of testing, these are the food storage containers that live up to their own hype (and our high expectations).
