When cooler weather starts creeping in, I instantly crave soup! Roasting tender Honeynut squash & apples together with onions and thyme not only make an incredible autumn soup for lunches, but the perfect starter course for your Thanksgiving meal!
Vegetarian Chili for Meat Lovers
If your meat-loving family is looking to expand their horizons and explore some plant-based recipes, instilling a Meatless Monday could be an easy path to hop on, and this vegetarian version of our favorite chili still checks all those comfort food boxes we crave!
Faux-Ceviche Salad
Hearts of palm is a genius substitution for seafood, with it's crab-like texture and light, nearly sweet flavor. Toss them together with crunchy & brightly colored veggies in a coconut lime vinaigrette, and you’ll never miss the real thing!
Chicken Provençal
Chicken Provençal sounds much fancier than it really is. For all those comfort food fans, this is your jam… chicken and summer veggies in a simple but luscious pan sauce. A medley of green beans, baby potatoes and cherry tomatoes, perfectly seasoned for an anything-but-boring weeknight chicken dish.
Oven Roasted Chicken Leg Quarters with Italian Herbs & Lemon
You wanna make one of the easiest meals ever, pay next to nothing, and have your family sing your praise? Don't we all? Well look no further, I've got you covered.
Here's an easy recipe that you can toss in the oven after work, and sit down to eat it within the hour. I love that there's no marinate time, or trimming, stuffing, etc. Just drizzle a quick mixture over the top and bake in a preheated oven for about an hour.
Wait for applause.
California Summer Salad
Big ol' dinner salads give me life! They are versatile, filling, and usually quite healthy. I love that it comes together in minutes with very little cooking time (if any) or clean up required. All those extra minutes and calories saved can now be used for better things... like making s'mores or family game night. Or both!
Weeknight Beef & Broccoli over Seasoned Cauliflower Rice
This might just be one of the fastest and most satisfying meals I've ever made. EVER. If you have 10 minutes and these 6 ingredients, you'll also be thankful to be sitting around the dinner table instead of slaving over the stove tonight.
The Best Chili Ever
It's taken a few years to get this chili just right, but it was worth all the trial and error. Like most treasured family recipes, it's been tweaked and adjusted over time to the liking of each member, until it's a group favorite. Spicy, sweet, and smoky... this is true comfort food.
