'Awesome-sauce' recipes for every day of the year!
I love making this recipe when lousy weather days arrive in Chicago (and the craving for comfort food!). I took the comfort of beef stroganoff and gave it a healthy twist without sacrificing flavor. Excellent for a crowd or some Sunday night meal prep. Enjoy!
One of the trickiest parts of cooking is cooking for a crowd – how do you please everyone? Enter this sauce! I recently had a whole hodge-podge of people over and wanted to easily please everyone without making multiple dishes. This tomato sauce is easy to make and a cheap recipe to make in bulk for a crowd. Vegetarian friendly and perfectly pairs with grilled chicken for the meat lovers in your life. Even if you’re not cooking for a crowd, you can make this sauce in bulk and it freezes beautifully. So cook up and enjoy!
This superbly easy pasta sauce recipe is a great way to whip up a cheap and easy dinner loaded with protein without skimping on the comfort. You can make large batches at a time for a crowd and it freezes well so a great option for meal prep!
Easy and healthy come together in this quick pasta recipe! Use the same pot for the asparagus, pasta, and shrimp and then mix it up with a batch of Marinara Sauce for an easy lunch or dinner recipe. Make the marinara sauce ahead of time and refrigerate or freeze to cut out even more time. Enjoy!
Cold winters nights mean I keep making comfort food! This recipe is a solid balance between comfort, decently healthy, and super easy! Perfect for quick dinner during the week or to entertain a group over the weekend. Enjoy!
I love pasta salad recipes. They're a great meal prep option that you can make healthy and tasty with any flavor profile. This recipe takes some classic Greek salad flavors for a light easy lunch option you can make for the week.
Fall is here! So pumpkin is here of course! This delicious pasta recipe is also a healthier than most creamy comfort recipes thanks to the inclusion of pumpkin, milk, and chicken broth. What pumpkin recipes are your favorite?
Sometimes you need some good old judgement-free comfort food to get through the winter day. Or a gloomy day. Or a Tuesday. These meatballs are so much fun to make but you have to be willing to get your hands messy! Beef and sausage are combined for the meat and fresh mozzarella is rolled into the center for gooey cheesy goodness. Cook these up and store them in the freezer or gather round your friends for a dinner party!
So you want a baked pasta recipe that won't ruin your week but still has a flavor profile? Or it's a Friday in Lent and you're looking for something a little better than fried fish and chips (as delicious as that is!)? Or maybe you just need an easy casserole that you can pop in the oven while getting ready for company to come over? Bring in the tuna casserole! The tuna gives you a protein boost with just enough mayo to make it a comfort dish. Toss in some veggies and garlic and you're ready for dinner.
