Still, we know that comfort food season is quickly approaching (and we’re certainly not mad about it). That’s why we rounded up seven of our favorite recipes that bridge the gap between summer and fall. Consider this week’s dinner menu handled.

Tuesday: Grilled Bruschetta Chicken
ALLRECIPES / DEBBIE WOLFE
“It turned out very moist inside while having a nice, crispy, and flavorful outside. The bruschetta recipe was delicious and complemented the chicken perfectly. As a final touch, I topped the dish with a light drizzle of balsamic vinegar and finely shredded Romano cheese. Everyone loved it! I have already had requests to make this again, SOON!” —RosePeel1836
Wednesay: Chef John’s Stuffed Peppers
Dotdash Meredith Food Studios

Thursday: Chicken Tortilla Soup with Charred Corn and Fire-Roasted Tomatoes
Allrecipes / Qi Ai

Friday: Caprese Salad with Grilled Flank Steak
Allrecipes
“Fabulous! A perfect summer meal that’s light, easy to make and tastes great without a ton of effort.” —Jillian
Saturday: Lobster Ravioli

Sunday: Creamy Pasta Bake with Cherry Tomatoes and Basil
AllRecipes / Diana Chistruga
“This creamy pasta bake is one of my favorite midweek pasta dishes. My whole family loves it, and there is not much prep. Once the pasta bake is in the oven, you can make a salad or set the table, and then it’s time to eat.” —Julian
