Hi! Thank you for your interest in Rachel Cooks!

Hi Reader! This week's recipes are definitely trending a little more FALL! And as much as I kept saying I wasn't ready for summer to be over, I think I might be a little ready for fall coziness. Hearty casseroles, soups, and fall flavors just make you feel warm and cozy, and I love that. I hope you love these recipes! If you're not quite ready for fall, you can always head to my site and browse the summer recipes! Updated! Turkey Quinoa Meatloaf Click For The Full Recipe! New! Cheeseburger...

Hi Reader! Cheeseburger. Tater tots. Casserole. If that combination doesn't immediately have your attention, I don't know what to tell you. We tested this one a few times to create something creamy and delicious that didn't involve canned soup, and I was so happy when we nailed it! The tots go on top, bake until golden and crispy, and then get a final layer of melted cheddar. Kids lose their minds for this one. Adults do too, honestly. Get The Recipe

Hi Reader! Meatloaf doesn't always have the best reputation, but this version deserves one. (So does every one of my meatloaf recipes, if I'm being honest and not-so-humble.) The secret is quinoa. Cooked quinoa replaces traditional breadcrumbs and keeps everything tender and juicy. Ground turkey makes it a little lighter than the classic, but with all the aromatics and that sweet, tangy glaze on top, it still tastes exact like it's supposed to, like comfort food. Bonus: it's naturally...

Hi Reader! I hope you've had a great week! We are back in the swing of things with school, sports, and work. After a fun summer of travel (which I'm so grateful for), I'm very ready for a stretch at home and a little normalcy. We had our first recipe testing day since May and we're busy creating some new and delicious recipes to share with you! This email is a little summer, a little fall, and a lot of easy meals. I hope you love them! New! Shrimp Scampi Click For The Full Recipe! New! Sheet...

Hi Reader! Labor Day is here, which always feels like the unofficial end to summer. We start school before Labor Day, making it feel like the soft-launch of fall, and then Labor Day seals the deal. So let's enjoy some great summer recipes for as long as we possibly can! Below are some of my favorites, but browse all of my summer recipes here. Berry Galette The easiest pie there ever was! Aka my kind of pie. Grab whatever berries look best, and serve with ice cream. Click For The Full Recipe!...

Hi Reader! Caprese isn't just for salad (or caprese pasta salad). Tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and basil is a combination that works on just about everything — including salmon. It works beautifully. Everything goes on one pan, it's on the table fast, and it looks impressive enough to serve to company. We tested this one a few different ways, and found a way to make it without the mozzarella getting rubbery. It's super easy and super delicious. Get The Recipe

Hi Reader! Shrimp scampi feels fancy without actually being all that difficult. Twenty minutes, one pan, and you have restaurant quality (or better!) garlicky, buttery shrimp. I highly recommend something to soak up the incredible sauce, whether that's pasta, crusty bread, or rice. Get The Recipe

Hi Reader! Back-to-school season is upon us! I don't know about you, but I'm looking for easy recipes that don't require much involvement from me, especially at dinnertime. These easy recipes can be thrown together quickly and easily, and are delicious meals that everyone will love. If you want more, there are a lot more to choose from. Click here for all of our crockpot recipes. If you're curious, this is the slow cooker I have. I've been happy with it, and it's relatively affordable....

Hi Reader! Lemon, herbs, and feta are basically a love language. Add those flavors to just about anything, and I'm happy. They make everything taste brighter, including the salmon and vegetables in these bowls. These bowls have everything: protein, grains, vegetables, and healthy fats, all in one place. No need for anything on the side! (Although if you do want to add a side, I have some ideas in the post!) Get The Recipe
