The Halloween spirit is finally wafting through the air, and retailers have begun to debut fall and Halloween collections, including Pottery Barn, which just dropped its line of plush and incredibly popular Halloween pillows for yet another year. And when I say these pillows are popular, I mean they’re going to go quick if you don’t act fast. It’s actually hard to get your hands on some of these now-iconic Halloween finds because they just can’t seem to stay in stock.

I love to grill pretty much everything in the summer, from quick grilled chicken thighs and sweet grilled corn on the cob to spicy gochujang butter grilled wings. My goal is to do as much cooking outside as I can. One of my favorite things to throw on the grill are bratwurst sausages. Not only are they the easiest food to grill (other than hot dogs, of course), there’s not much you need to do while you’re cooking them. But there is one step I like to take that makes them extra flavorful: I smoke them using a wood chip foil pouch.
