Hi! Thank you for your interest in Rachel Cooks!

Hi Reader! By now you've probably heard about the parasite that's been making headlines. If you've been side-eyeing your salad greens lately, I completely get it (I have too!). The good news? Some of the best salads out there have absolutely nothing to do with lettuce. I've rounded up 8 of my favorites to keep you well-fed while you wait for the all-clear.

Hi Reader! Just a reminder - you can update your preferences so you can control how many emails you get from me! Now, let's talk about this blueberry crumble recipe. Crisps, cobblers, and crumbles are my favorite desserts any time of year, but especially in the summer. This blueberry crumble could not be easier to make and can be made with fresh or frozen blueberries. I know you'll love it as much as I do! Get The Recipe!

Hi Reader! I can't believe we're staring down August already, yet here we are. It's been a great summer thus far - a trip to Portland, Maine with my friends, our annual family week at the lake, and I'm just coming home from a work retreat in Park City, Utah. So many fun things, and a few more to squeeze in before summer wraps up and my son starts 8th grade and my daughter starts 10th grade. 🤯 The recipes this week are a nod to it still being summer, but fall being on the horizon. A little bit...

Hi Reader! Not every batch of chicken wings needs to be tied to a football game, a party, or a restaurant order. Sometimes you just want wings. You know by now that an air fryer is one of my favorite kitchen appliances. I love it for quick and easy meals without turning on the oven. And it's practically made for chicken wings. They turn out so perfectly crispy, and you definitely won't miss your kitchen smelling like frying oil. Add your favorite dipping sauce for maximum enjoyment! Make sure...

Hi Reader! I love lemon with seafood as much as the next person (I'll never turn down this lemon salmon with dill!), but every once in a while it's fun to change things up. That's what I love about this sheet pan dinner. It still has everything I'm looking for on a busy night (protein, vegetables, one pan, easy cleanup), but the orange and ginger give it a completely different feel. Oranges aren't quite as tangy as lemons, and go perfectly with the salmon. Soy sauce, honey, garlic, and ginger...

Hi Reader! We have a farmstand right down the road from us and I feel so lucky to be able to drive two minutes and pick up an array of fresh fruits and vegetables. Everyone always asks me if I have a garden and I say no - because I have a black thumb, and because I have my favorite farmstand! In this email I'm sharing some of my "farmstand favorites" - recipes using zucchini, corn, or tomatoes. All of which are plentiful in the summer! Of course, this is just a select few recipes, and there...

Hi Reader! I am just loving all these summer recipes. It's without a doubt my favorite time of year for food. Everything from fresh berries and vegetables, to irresistible salads of every shape and form (including those with pasta or layers of eggs, bacon and cheese? I mean...who can complain?). I hope you love the recipes this week. Pro tip - make the pimento cheese and spread it onto bread and grill it up. It's the best grilled cheese ever. New!

Hi Reader! Why make your own Italian chicken marinade? Why not buy a bottle of dressing or a packet of dried dressing mix? I can hear you all thinking that. Take it from me (and you all know how much I like easy cooking), making your own marinade is seriously easy and just so much better. I bet you have everything you need on hand already! Vinegar, oil, herbs and spices come together to infuse so much flavor into chicken. Try and it and you'll see - it's so worth a couple of extra minutes....

Hi Reader! This is one of those things where you say “just a taste," and then keep going back for more, and more, and more... It’s creamy, cheesy, and really hard to walk away from. I love it with crackers (Ritz or saltines are perfect), but it also makes a truly elite grilled cheese sandwich (messy, but worth it!). If you've never tried pimento cheese, consider this your sign. If you're already a pimento cheese fan, I'd love for you to try mine and let me know what you think! Get The Recipe
