Hey [FIRST NAME GOES HERE], Let's Cook!


Hi Reader!

Happy Friday! I hope you had a great week! Happy Halloween! This year my freshman is coordinating with her friends to do costumes from the movie Mean Girls (she's going to be Regina George) and my 12-year-old son is embracing puns and going to hold a foam finger and a poster board that says "I love ceilings" - he's a ceiling fan.

I'm especially excited about the chopped salad I'm sharing this week. I adore a hearty salad, and this salad is satisfyingly hearty, but yet still so easy to make. You're going to love it!

New! La Scala Chopped Salad

With crisp lettuce, salami, mozzarella, and chickpeas in a Parmesan red wine vinaigrette, La Scala salad is satisfying, easy to make, and packed with flavor.

Updated! Instant Pot Chicken Piccata

This chicken piccata has all the flavor of the original, but it cooks in less than 30 minutes using your Instant Pot pressure cooker.

One Year Ago...

With cozy fall spices, cream cheese frosting, and a moist, tender crumb, these pumpkin bars are always a hit—and they’re a cinch to make!

Two Years Ago...

When you roast the humble turnip, magic happens! Roasted turnips are tender and mellow, with beautifully caramelized edges and a bit of a peppery kick. This low-carb veggie deserves a spot in your regular side dish rotation!

Three Years Ago...

This crockpot beef stew is chock full of tender beef, vegetables, and flavorful gravy. Beef stew is so hearty and satisfying, and it cooks all day in your slow cooker.
