Hi! Thank you for your interest in Rachel Cooks!

Hi Reader! This mocktail has the same fresh, clean vibe as spa water — cucumber, lime, a little sweetness — but with bubbles, which somehow makes it feel like a completely different drink. Add gin if you want a cocktail. Skip it, and it's still so good. Either way, it takes about 10 minutes and tastes like summer. Perfect for parties or any weeknight that needs a little something-something. Get The Recipe

Hi Reader! Balsamic chicken with blistered tomatoes looks like something you'd order at a nice Italian restaurant, but it comes together in one pan in less than an hour. The pan sauce is uncomplicated but elevated, thanks to balsamic, butter, and blistered tomatoes (which just sound fancy...or gross...but we'll go with fancy). It's the kind of dinner where you'll want bread on the table. Trust me on this. (May I recommend my Dutch oven bread?) Get The Recipe

Hi Reader! You know that feeling when you order a "fresh raspberry" cocktail at a restaurant and it tastes like Kool-Aid? 🤢 Yeah. That's not what this is. This raspberry basil smash uses real raspberries — muddled right in the glass — so the flavor is fresh and bright, not syrupy sweet. The basil adds an unexpected herby note that makes it taste a little more interesting than your average summer drink. And whether you want a mocktail or a cocktail, this works either way.

Hi Reader! If you've never roasted gnocchi before, this recipe is about to change things for you. No boiling. No draining. It goes straight onto the sheet pan, and while it roasts, the outsides get golden and a little crispy while the insides stay perfectly pillowy. Once you try it this way, you won't go back. Throw in some shrimp and a jar of pesto, and dinner is done in about 25 minutes. And in true Rachel Cooks style, you only have one pan to clean. Get The Recipe

Hi Reader! Imagine enchiladas but without the task of rolling tortillas. Imagine tender chicken, flavorful sauce, beans, and lots of creamy cheese. The tortillas soften into the sauce adding perfect flavor and texture. It's a weeknight win for sure. I was a little surprised by how much I loved this one during testing - I couldn't get enough of it! Get The Recipe Hit reply and let me know if you plan to make this recipe!

Hi Reader! I just celebrated my 43rd birthday! While it's wild to think that I'm already 43, I'm counting my blessings and feeling grateful for my health and the health of my family. And I'm still holding on to summer! I don't want to think about summer ending yet. We have a couple more fun things planned that I'm really looking forward to. This week's recipes definitely still have summer written all over them, too. However, and it's only a suggestion, but future you will thank you if you...

Hi Reader! I love brunch. There's something so relaxed about it, enjoying good food (bacon! eggs! coffee!) and having conversation with people you love. Honestly, what could be better? This crustless quiche recipe is perfect for brunch because it's so easy to make! I also love this recipe for meal prep. What do you think you'd be most likely to use it for? Get The Recipe
