Hi! Thank you for your interest in Rachel Cooks!

Hi Reader! The year is already off to a busy start - it's hard to believe we're almost through January already! The kids have been busy with chess club, robotics, watercolor class, and lots of indoor tennis. We're counting down the days until it's warm enough to play outside again (although, sadly, we have quite awhile before that happens). In the meantime, we're eating lots of fresh and flavorful meals, but keeping them quick and easy to fit our busy schedule. I'm sharing some great ones...

Hi Reader! This meatball soup is my answer to comfort food that still feels good to eat. The turkey meatballs are tender and flavorful, the veggies make it hearty without being heavy, and the flavorful broth pulls everything together. It's also a fantastic one for meal prep - make it on Sunday and have warm, hearty lunches all week. Get The Recipe

Hi Reader! This teriyaki chicken bowl is one of those recipes that quickly makes life easier. Tender, saucy chicken, colorful veggies, and then the leftovers that can turn into lunches you’re actually excited to eat. And you know I don't love doing dinner clean-up. This feels like a complete, balanced meal without requiring five burners and a sink full of dishes. Get The Recipe

Hi Reader! While there's a place and time for gently braised meats, pot roast cooking for hours, or a beautiful roasted chicken, most of my winter nights call for quick and easy meals. More time to relax and spend time with my family. In this email, I'm sharing some of my 20 minute favorites, along with some pro-tip shortcuts. Let me know if you give one of these recipes a try!

I'm losing track of how many we have on Rachel Cooks, and I'm not planning to stop any time soon. New! Sheet Pan Citrus Chicken and Rainbow Vegetables Click For The Full Recipe! Updated!

Hi Reader! A steaming bowl of mildly spicy soup really seems to hit the spot on a cold winter day. With just a bit of spiciness that's reminiscent of the warm Mexican sun, a bowl of soup can warm you up from the inside out. And if it's creamy and cheesy, that's a huge bonus too. I think you'll absolutely love this creamy chicken enchilada soup. It's everything you love about enchiladas, but in a cozy, wintery soup. Get The Recipe

Hi Reader! I’ve made a lot of sheet pan chicken dinners over the years, mostly because they solve my biggest weeknight problem: I want dinner to be easy, but I don’t want to be bored while I’m eating it. I'm excited to add another one to the list, and it's a beauty! This colorful dinner is full of nutritious ingredients but still tastes phenomenal. Get The Recipe
