Hi! Thank you for your interest in Rachel Cooks!

Hi Reader! If you love marry me chicken (and what's not to love?), you're going to love this one pan dinner. The creamy sun-dried tomato sauce is the same kind of thing that made marry me chicken go viral, but this version feels fresh and new. Tender meatballs, orzo that soaks up the sauce as it cooks, and everything done in one skillet. One pan. One very good dinner. Get The Recipe

Hi Reader! It's starting to be chili season, and I'm kind of okay with it. The thought of snuggling up with a bowl of chili and a piece of cornbread or a corn muffin doesn't sound half bad, does it? I have a chili recipe for everyone on my site: red, white, beans, no beans, vegetarian, meaty, Instant Pot, slow cooker...

Hi Reader! Last week was my kids' fall break. We stayed home this year and took it easy, played a lot of tennis, and just hung out. This week I've been playing catch up and also still playing a lot of tennis (I started taking adult tennis classes to try to keep up with my kids!). I'm excited to share these recipes with you - the pork chops are so good. I absolutely love hearing from you, so please send me an email and let me know if you're cooking any of these recipes! New!

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
