Slow Cooker Lemon Chicken & Orzo Soup (That’s Teeming with Veggies)
This soup turned me into a meme of myself. For years, I’d groaned over the comments on recipes: “I made this pepperoni pizza and it turned out NOTHING like the pictures! I didn’t have cheese, so I substituted pastina, and I couldn’t find pepperoni, so I used some moldy peaches from the back of my…

Zucchini Spaghetti Makes for One Easy, Feel-Good Dinner
Spiralizers always seemed a little snake oil-ish to me. They promise to turn any vegetable into faux-pasta, but I just couldn’t believe it. Texturally, maybe, but taste-wise? Fuhgettaboutit. Then I received a handheld spiralizer. It sat in my cupboard for months, until one day, while trying to eat like Gwyneth Paltrow (cooking entirely from her…

Greek-Inspired Beef & Feta Stuffed Zucchini Boats
Thanks to paleo diets and spiralizers, zucchini has never been hotter. It’s popping up in all sorts of dishes, and while I’m a huge fan of my one and only zuke recipe (Can I call ’em zukes? Is that a thing?), I figured it was time to branch out. Enter: stuffed zucchini boats. It sounds…

How to Roast A Turkey Using A Slow Cooker
When I first heard you could roast a turkey breast—bone-in and all—in a slow cooker, I was more than a little skeptical. I’ve tried my fair share of Pinterest DIYs and life hacks touted online to know that at best, most are “roughly” accurate. As in, technically they work, but the end result is just different…

Slow Cooker Lasagna Soup
When it comes to food, I’m all about instant gratification. Some nights I don’t even eat a real meal because I’m too busy stuffing my gullet with the raw ingredients (or, okay, piles of pretzels dipped in peanut butter). As a result, for years I didn’t touch my slow cooker. If I’m too impatient to…

I Tried Blake Lively’s Box Mac & Cheese Hack, & It’s Seriously Good
No child can resist the allure of Paw Patrol these days. At least, that’s what I told myself after conducting extended negotiations in aisle six of the grocery store, as my daughter begged for Chase- and Marshall-shaped macaroni, courtesy of Kraft. Now, I have fond memories of the blue box, but as an adult, it’s…

Easy Chilaquiles (Using Store-Bought Salsa)
Let’s get this out of the way: This recipe isn’t for authentic chilaquiles; I’m not going to pretend like I have any authority in that space, beyond a strong appreciation for the classic Mexican breakfast. (Mexico in My Kitchen and Muy Delish feature great recipes on that front.) I call this my “wannabe Chilaquiles” recipe,…

Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie Soup
When it’s cold outside, I want to make everything in a slow cooker, especially soup. Especially soups that are based on even heartier dishes that were never intended to be soup, like lasagna. Or, you know, chicken pot pie. I shared the recipe for a stovetop version a couple years ago, but this fall—especially with…
