Hi! Thank you for your interest in Rachel Cooks!

Hi Reader! I love to make a big batch of protein at the beginning of the week and use it to make bowls. It makes lunches and dinner super quick and easy. One of the easiest ways to do this is to use the slow cooker! Work smarter, not harder! I gathered up 9 recipes that are perfect for this kind of prep. From Cuban pork to cozy Italian pot roast, there is something for everyone. I also included some great grain bases, toppings, and sauces to create the perfect bowl! Get The Recipes

Hi Reader! I have over 1,400 recipes on my website (or in production), and sometimes I honestly forget about some of them. I love sending these weekly recap emails with the recipes from one, two, and three years ago because it reminds me of recipes I may have forgotten. I always want to get right in the kitchen and make them again ASAP! I hope you love it too. I'm tempted to add four, five, and maybe six years ago? What do you think? Would that be phenomenally awesome or incredibly...

Hi Reader! If you love spinach dip but hate the double-dippers, this is the recipe for you. You take that same creamy, cheesy filling and scoop it into frozen phyllo shells (so easy!). You can prep the filling days ahead, so when people show up, just bake them for ten minutes. They are perfect, crispy little bites. Get The Recipe

Hi Reader! I’ve spent 15 years developing recipes, and I’ve found that sometimes the best dinners are the ones that remind you of being a kid. This Creamy Beef and Shells is my from-scratch version of Hamburger Helper Cheesy Italian Shells. But there are no mystery seasoning packets here - just simple pantry staples, ground beef, and a lot of cheese. This is one of those recipes where going into testing, I knew it would be decent, but we actually fell so hard for this recipe. It's really...

Hi Reader! Tired of being hungry an hour after lunch? Fuel up with 12 high-protein meal prep favorites. They're all easy to prep and reheat great - my two main requirements for meal prep! Most freeze well, too! Get The Recipe

Hi Reader! Happy Friday! I swear the weeks are just flying by. My son is wrapping up his robotics season, and we're continuing to play a lot of indoor tennis. We are counting down the days until we get some warmer weather and our favorite local courts put their nets back up. This has been a rough winter! This week's recipe all have comfort food vibes and just writing this email makes me want to remake them all asap! So much yumminess. 🥳 New! General Tso's Tofu Sheet Pan Dinner Click For The...

Hi Reader! If you hate washing dishes as much as I do, you need this recipe. I took classic chicken tetrazzini and eliminated the step where you boil and drain the pasta. Instead, it cooks right in the sauce, not only eliminating dishes and reducing cook time, but also upping the flavor. It's so tasty and the perfect use for leftover chicken! Get The Recipe

Hi Reader! I've honestly been loving tofu so much lately. I'll admit, sometimes I buy it and it just sits in my fridge, but I've leveled up, purchased a real tofu press, and gotten serious about it. The best part about this recipe? It’s a total "lazy pro" move ("lazy pro perfectly captures my style of cooking). You roast the veggies and the tofu together on one pan (the tofu gets so crispy!), whisk the sauce in a bowl, and pour it right on. It's so easy, so flavorful, and so good for you! Get...

Hi Reader! When the temperature drops, my motivation to do dishes drops right along with it (as if it were ever there to begin with). There is something so satisfying about a meal that comes together in one single pot. I havea lot of one pan meals on this website (and I mean, a lot - the current count is 243), but I went through and gathered up what I feel like are the coziest of them. Whether it’s a slow-simmered stew that makes the whole house smell amazing, or a 30-minute skillet pasta...
