Easy Comfort Food Recipes
As a busy mom and a foodie I love finding and creating the best food in the least amount of time and trouble possible. No crazy ingredients or complicated cooking techniques here. Cooking is something I really enjoy and hope to work my skills more in the future.
Soft Ginger Snap Cookies Recipe
Soft ginger snap cookies remind me of home and Christmas time with family. This cookie recipe has been passed down to me from my mom who got it from her grandmother so it’s been passed through at least 4 generations of my family. Whether you call them ginger snaps, molasses cookies, or chewy ginger cookies, this recipe is definitely a keeper.
Pasta Genovese Recipe
This comforting Italian recipe is one of my favorites that my mom used to make for us. It’s garlicky and delicious but super simple to make! My favorite combination.
Summer Sparkler Cocktail Recipe
This simple and sweet cocktail recipe is perfect for a Fourth of July party or any get together where you need a light and refreshing drink. Made with ingredients that you might have on hand (like I did), it doesn’t follow any traditional cocktail rules. Serve it in whatever glass you like. I made a little pear slice garnish but I think it’s pretty enough without one too!
Baked Chicken Chimichangas
This healthier version of chicken chimichangas isn’t deep fried like they are at any Mexican restaurant you would order at. These are loaded with veggies and can even be made vegan or vegetarian (see note below). I pride myself on making comfort foods just a little bit healthier by pumping up the nutrition and cutting back on unnecessary additives.
No Bake Oatmeal Cocoa Cookie Recipe
This recipe is adapted from one I grew up with. These no-bake cocoa cookies were a staple of my childhood and I vividly remember struggling to wait for them to cool on the counter before I could have one.
Easy Mini Quiche Recipe
This mini quiche recipe is super simple and uses premade biscuits as crust because lets be real - who has time to make crusts and quiche? Add some fresh ingredients and some healthy veggies with your eggs and you have a great breakfast for your busy mornings.
Easy Shredded Chicken Enchiladas Recipe
This easy shredded chicken enchiladas recipe is a frequent flier on our dinner rotation. One of our favorite recipes to make for dinner parties too since it’s so easy to double or make ahead.
Pumpkin Apple Muffin Recipe
These pumpkin apple muffins are the perfect healthier snack or breakfast on the go. Super easy to make and filled with vitamin A and fiber from the apple and pumpkin. Great meal prep recipe for easy breakfasts or kids lunches.
Vegan Mexican Quinoa Recipe
This Vegan Mexican Quinoa might be even better reheated, which makes it the perfect meal prep recipe. It’s great as a side dish but can stand alone as the main dish too. Plenty of protein, vitamins, and minerals in this super healthy dish.
Vegan Banana Bread Recipe
This banana bread recipe is adapted from the recipe I grew up with. Simply substitute a few healthier ingredients and vegan chocolate chips for regular ones and BOOM. Vegan choc chip banana bread.
