Rasta Pasta
I’ve been wanting to make Rasta Pasta for a while because I’m a BIG fan of bold, spicy flavors. This Jamaican-inspired dish brings all that flavor to the table with tender jerk-seasoned chicken, sweet bell peppers, and penne coated in a creamy Parmesan sauce. The peppers and creamy sauce help balance the warmth of the […]
Italian Wedding Soup
Chicken noodle soup is great and all, but have you tried Italian Wedding Soup?? This classic soup shares a lot of the same cozy ingredients as chicken noodle soup but with one huge advantage: tender and flavorful homemade meatballs! I make the meatballs with pre-seasoned Italian sausage, which saves me from measuring out a bunch […]
Apple Spice Cake
This Apple Spice Cake has a soft, tender crumb, plenty of fresh diced apples, and warm, cozy spices. I also brown the butter to give it a rich, nutty flavor that makes this homemade cake taste extra special! It takes me right back to apple-picking season in New England, when fall baking was one of […]
Baked Chicken Breast
If there’s one thing that can immediately bring peace to my dinner table after a long day, it’s a big plate of juicy, perfectly seasoned Baked Chicken Breast that my husband and daughter will devour without a single complaint. Thanks to a quick brine and a hot oven, this recipe takes very little hands-on effort, […]
Crockpot Chili
This Crockpot Chili is hearty, warmly spiced, and made to feed a crowd without running up the grocery bill. I use three cans of beans and two cans of tomatoes to stretch one pound of ground beef into eight generous servings for about $1.73 each! After about 20 minutes of prep, the crockpot takes it […]
Best Pumpkin Recipes
I LOVE October. Pumpkins, costumes, cider, the smell of fallen leaves, and lots and lots of candy…what’s not to love? In celebration of October and all things pumpkin, I’ve pulled together some of our best pumpkin recipes to make the most of the season. There are plenty of budget-friendly sweet treats, of course, but you’ll […]
Savory Pumpkin Fritters
These Savory Pumpkin Fritters are crisp and golden around the edges, with soft, tender centers packed with pumpkin, Parmesan, onion, and herbs. Yep, we’re taking pumpkin firmly into savory territory here! I use canned pumpkin purée, so you don’t have to peel, roast, grate, or squeeze anything before you start. The batter comes together in […]
Crockpot Mac And Cheese
This Crockpot Mac and Cheese gives you tender macaroni in a rich, creamy sauce with very little hands-on work. All you have to do is give the pasta a quick head start on the stovetop so it can finish cooking gently in the slow cooker without turning mushy. This recipe makes 8 servings for just […]
Greek Chicken Soup
Greek Chicken Soup, or Avgolemono soup, is a bright, lemony chicken and rice soup with the silkiest broth (made without a drop of heavy cream!). The creaminess actually comes from eggs, which are whisked with fresh lemon and slowly blended into the hot broth. The method may be a little different from your usual soup, […]
Pumpkin Curry
This Pumpkin Curry is thick, velvety, rich, and flavor-packed, with tender fresh pumpkin, warm spices, and creamy coconut milk. I love curry year-round, but there’s something special about those crisp autumn months that really makes me crave it, and this one does the trick! It’s a completely vegan meal that comes together in less than […]
