Hi! Thank you for your interest in Rachel Cooks!

Hi Reader! This is my go-to when I have no plan for dinner. I just use whatever vegetables I need to use up, add tofu, make the super quick and easy honey garlic sauce, and call it dinner. It's so good, and there isn't a piece of soggy tofu in sight. It's perfect as is (I love this combination of veggies), but if you happen to have something else on hand, the sauce works great with a wide variety of vegetables. Get The Recipe

Hi Reader! I love a good pasta salad. I mean, who doesn't, really? It's two of my favorite things, pasta and salad, combined. And they're perfect for summer. With over 17 pasta salad recipes and counting, it was hard to pick just a few highlights to share with you! Make sure to browse the rest for more ideas!

Hi Reader! I'm constantly scanning my site for outdated recipes, things that need tweaking, or recipes that need new photos. Sometimes I'll get a comment with a question (for example, "does this recipe work in an air fryer?") and that will lead the direction of our recipe testing. This week, we updated two great sauce recipes. The arugula pesto is so good on a piece of toasted sourdough bread with a fried egg on top. It's slightly more mild than traditional basil pesto, but in a really great...

Hi Reader! If you're looking to take it up a notch this grilling seasoning, stock your fridge with homemade barbecue sauce. It's truly a game-changer and really not difficult to make! It's delicious as-is, but I also show you how to make it your own. Whether you like it extra spicy or a little more smoky, I've got you covered. Get The Recipe

Hi Reader! Fresh basil is great, but it’s not always easy to find, and honestly it can be expensive. Arugula makes such a good swap in pesto. It’s bold, fresh, and turns into a pesto that works for way more than pasta. I love to spread it on sourdough toast and top with a fried egg. As a bonus, it freezes super well, so you can make a big batch and save some for later. Get The Recipe

Hi Reader! If you're wondering why this came on Saturday instead of Friday, first of all, thank you for being such a loyal follower of Rachel Cooks that you noticed! I sent out an email with Memorial Day recipes yesterday because I wanted to give you enough time to plan any weekend BBQs, and I didn't want to double up on emails and clog your inbox. This week's email is a little seafood-y but if you're not a fan of seafood, there's a few other delicious recipes, some of my favorites, actually!...

Hi Reader! It's a little hard to believe Memorial Day weekend is already here. As we prepare for a weekend of delicious food and fun, I'd like to pause and remember and honor the incredible men and women who have sacrificed for our country. I hope you have the opportunity to come together with friends and family this weekend to remember the bravery and sacrifice of these individuals, while enjoying delicious recipes. With that said - here are some of my favorite Memorial Day recipes (browse...

Hi Reader! I love cod because it's basically a blank slate. This lemon butter cod is a garlicky classic, and Parmesan crusted cod has a perfectly crunchy crust. For this recipe, garlic, onion, and Italian seasoning jazz up canned crushed tomatoes for a simple sauce that tastes like it was simmering away on the stove for hours. It's perfect on the cod, and insanely good for dipping bread into. Get The Recipe

Hi Reader! I like tofu, but not mushy, boring tofu. I need crispy edges and a great sauce. This buffalo tofu bowl has both, plus roasted cauliflower, fluffy rice, and tons of crisp veggies. It's such a great lunch and ideal for meal prep. It's filling, satisfying, and nourishing. I hope you love this one as much as I do! Get The Recipe
