Hi! Thank you for your interest in Rachel Cooks!

Hi Reader! Just going to kick this email with a giant disclaimer.... I am not Italian. These may not be authentic recipes, but they are delicious. My daughter and I traveled to Italy a few years ago, so it's fun to reminisce on some of the food we ate there (like Bolognese in Bologna!). You can find all of our Italian recipes here, but I'm going to highlight a few of my favorites (it was so hard to narrow down, so check out the end for a few bonuses).

Hi Reader! It's hard to believe April is already coming to a close. I'm excited about the recipes in this email, it includes some of my favorites! Chicken bites are a win at my house, as are carnitas. And my kids are always happy when I make roasted potatoes. The rest of the recipes are also some of my go-to recipes that I honestly never tire of. I hope you love them as much as I do! New! Garlic Parmesan Chicken Bites Click For The Full Recipe! New!

Hi Reader! I love this recipe because it’s not just dinner—it’s multiple dinners. Tacos one night, bowls the next, maybe nachos after that. And it all starts with about five minutes of prep and a slow cooker doing the rest. The perfect crispy edges on the carnitas make these absolutely irresistible. It also freezes great. This recipe is a win-win-win and my whole family loves it. Get The Recipe

Hi Reader! When I don’t feel like figuring out dinner, this is what I make. Chicken bites are quick, easy, and always turns out well (it's the reason my original chicken bites are so popular!). And this cheesy, garlicky version of my chicken bites might just be my favorite variety yet. I mean, I'm the type of girl that's immediately hungry when I hear the words "garlic parmesan." I can't be alone, right? Get The Recipe

Hi Reader! Spring is finally in the air, and let me tell you, we had to earn it in Michigan! There were so many cold, snowy days in March. I always say I love the snow in December, maybe even January, but after that I am so done with it! Ready for some warmer weather and more time outside! These Greek inspired recipes are the perfect recipes to usher in warmer weather. They're light, fresh, and full of bright flavors. Greek Meatballs Click For The Full Recipe!

Hi Reader! I hope you had a great week! We're back in Michigan after a lovely, warm spring break in Arizona. We visited Scottsdale, Sedona, and the Grand Canyon. It was the perfect balance of active and relaxing! This week's recipes include lots of great main dish ideas. Tons of variety and good eating here! New!

Hi Reader! Tofu can be great…but it can also be really disappointing. Too soft, no texture, no flavor, kind of just there. This recipe has none of those problems. It's crispy without deep frying, and the sauce is so glossy and flavorful, with just the right balance of sweet and savory. It's perfect with rice and broccoli but also goes well with noodles or quinoa. Get The Recipe

Hi Reader! If you love street corn so much that you want to make an entire meal out of it, this recipe is for you. You get all those same flavors—creamy, smoky, tangy—but in an easy-to-eat bowl that provides a good amount of protein. Sometimes I add black or pinto beans for even more protein,. As always the bonus with bowls is that everyone can build their own, which makes dinner way easier and much happier for everyone involved (especially me). Get The Recipe

Hi Reader! I love asparagus, and I especially love fresh, in-season asparagus. So this email is all about asparagus! First off - the basics!
