Hi! Thank you for your interest in Rachel Cooks!

Hi Reader! Every Halloween, we fill insulated cups with mulled apple cider before we head out trick-or-treating. There is nothing better than wandering around the neighborhood in the cold, watching the kids run from house to house, with a warm cup in your hands. A little shot of somethin' somethin' is optional. But it’s not just for Halloween. It's perfect for every fall gathering, and your house will smell absolutely incredible while it simmers, which might just be the best part. Get The Recipe

Hi Reader! I like to pretend I'm a little bit fancy, and perhaps I am, but mostly I just like things to simple and straightforward, uncomplicated. You know this about me - I'm constantly creating one pan meals and sheet pan dinners. These pork chops fit the bill. There’s nothing like a creamy sauce to make dinner feel special. Plenty of garlic, herbs, and nutty Parmesan add lots of depth so it’s not one-note. If you're a fan of smothered pork chops, this is a must-try recipe! Get The Recipe

Hi Reader! I hope you had a wonderful week! We've been having the best of two worlds in Michigan - beautiful fall colors with warm, summery temps. All I want to do is spend time outside!

Hi Reader! Ranch people, this one’s for you. (And yes, I’m also talking to myself. I am indeed, very much a ranch person.) Ranch dressing and cream cheese make the filling more flavorful, rich, and creamy than using ranch alone. (Pssst—ranch lovers will also appreciate this chicken bacon ranch pasta!) All that creamy ranch goodness is paired with melty mozzarella for the perfect cheese pull, and garlic butter drenched Hawaiian rolls. Needless to say, these are the ultimate game day food. Get...

Hi Reader! Sheet pan dinners are my thing, you know this. But this one might be the most genius version yet (if I do say so myself), because of the shortcut cream sauce that's also made on the same sheet pan. The secret is spreadable cream cheese. Garlic and herb cream cheese gets tossed with the gnocchi, chicken, and vegetables, and it melts into this rich, creamy sauce with zero roux, zero heavy cream, and zero extra pots. It's so good, and really couldn't be easier! Get The Recipe

Hi Reader! If you've been here for a little while, you know I love creating sheet pan dinners. I would rather not spend my time washing dishes, so if I can create an amazing meal on one pan, I'm going to do it! If you're new here, well, now you know! You can browse all my sheet pan dinners here (there are over 45 to choose from!), but in this email I'm sharing six of my favorite sheet pan dinners for fall.

Hi Reader! Happy Friday! I hope you had a wonderful week. I'm particularly excited to share these first two recipes with you. They're both new, but I know I'm personally going to make them again and again. The first one is a little fancy, and the second is ideal for meal prep and easy dinners. The older recipes I'm sharing are just as delicious! I hope you make at least one - email me and let me know if you do! New! Skillet Chicken with Apple Cider Cream Sauce Click For The Full Recipe!

Hi Reader! Sunday is my day for making a big batch of something that will feed us all week, even when we have the craziest schedules. This is that something. Salsa verde, chicken, slow cooker. That's basically all you need. You add everything in the morning, walk away, and come back to tender chicken that's ready to go into whatever you feel like eating. Tacos on Monday, burrito bowl on Tuesday, taco salad on Wednesday. The chicken is the foundation and you build from there. As a bonus,...
