Pasta
This easy and delicious recipe uses cheap pantry staples to make a gourmet meal! 10/10 *don't skip the hand-crushing step **great way to use fresh or canned tomatoes from your garden!
Creamy Tomato Rigatoni
I've made this recipe so many times in my life I don't even need it anymore, I have the exact measurements memorized. It's that good! It's great for meal prep or for serving a large crowd. The eggs in the pasta part might seem weird, but just me it's...
Baked Spaghetti
An amazingly easy crockpot recipe, perfect for weeknights in a rush! Another variation is to use Buffalo Wild Wings Garlic Parmesan Wing sauce instead of the Olive Garden. I've made it with both and both are absolutely delicious! The one thing you wa...
Slow Cooker Olive Garden Chicken Pasta
This one is great as a primary dish, but can also be an easy side pasta if you're not a fan of chicken. But either way it is so very good. You might be tempted to skip out on the balsamic glaze if you don't already have it on hand, but trust me, you ...
Bruschetta Chicken Pasta Salad
The very best Alfredo I've ever made! You won't ever want to buy that artificial jar stuff again. One important note- use shaved Parmesan cheese found in the fresh cheese/deli section. The grated stuff (especially Kraft that isn't refrigerated) often...
Bowtie Chicken Alfredo
Side dishes
Easy, healthy, delicious salad great for potlucks! Add Cavender's Greek seasoning to really elevate it
Greek Cucumber Salad Recipe
It might seem weird, or lackluster- but I promise this is always a huge hit at potlucks! I can't even count the number of times I've sent this recipe to people. So good. If you're not eating it immediately (perhaps taking to a gathering) or think you...
Frito Corn Salad Recipe (+VIDEO) - The Girl Who Ate Everything
You'll never want to buy the premade deli stuff again. And the best part is, you can customize it with whatever additions you like! I do hard boiled eggs, dill relish, red onion, celery and red pepper. I also add a little garlic powder, onion powder,...
Easy Macaroni Salad
This recipe can convince anyone to like brussels sprouts! Its simple but delicious. Inspired by Cooper's Hawk, I garnish with finely chopped mint and peanuts, which just levels it up a little bit. But as is it is still amazing
Sriracha Sweet Chili Brussels Sprouts
This low carb "pasta" salad uses cauliflower instead of pasta and I'm telling you, you won't even miss the pasta. It's full of flavor and healthy ingredients! In a pinch I've also substituted Olive Garden Italian dressing, but I really like the addit...
Italian Cauliflower Salad
Seafood
Easy and reliable salmon dinner! Can be customized to your desired sweetness and spiciness by adjusting the amounts of honey and red pepper, and adding sriracha. Pairs grate with jasmine rice and/or steamed veggies

Meat
The best meatloaf recipe! Don't be thrown off or tempted to sub the slices of bread, it's what makes the meatloaf so moist and delicious
Ree Drummond Swears By Her All-Time Favorite Meatloaf Recipe
Super good, super easy, and great for leftovers/meal prep! Swap the ground ginger for minced, it's worth it. Goes great with some steamed jasmine rice
Korean Beef Bowl
It's simple but so, so good! Don't skip out on the magic of the lemon, you don't want to use the bottled stuff. You want the zest and juice of a fresh lemon! I also add a little Cavender's Greek seasoning because it's just divine.
Grilled Lemon Chicken
What can I say, I just love The Pioneer Woman. Her classics are, well, classic! This simple recipe shouldn't be underestimated, as it is packed with flavor!
Chicken with Mustard Cream Sauce

You can get restaurant quality hummus with this perfect recipe! Seriously, you will never want to buy the store bought stuff again. The best part? No peeling of chickpea skins! The recipe uses cooked canned chickpeas, skins and all. Super easy, just ...
The Best Hummus
Always a crowd pleaser! My go-to for a quick, affordable party dish
Baked Ham and Cheese Party Sandwiches
You wouldn't think something so simple would be so delicious, but it is! I get the block/chunk feta and crumble it up myself. The pre-crumbled stuff is okay but dry, if you get the chunk you'll have a much fresher feta taste. I experimented with driz...

A potluck classic, this taco salad is easily prepared ahead of time! It also makes an easy weeknight dinner and can be customized to include whatever ingredients you prefer
Dorito Taco Salad

Ditch the pumpkin pie and go with this pumpkin Better Than Anything cake instead! I've been making it for years and it's always a hit. Heath bar pieces come pre-crumbled in a bag by the chocolate chips, so make your life a little easier by using that...
Pumpkin Poke Cake
Easy, worthwhile way to use up those ripe bananas on your counter! Moist and delicious, this is perfect as a dessert or breakfast due to the addition of coffee
