Cooking Method: Sautéing

Beef Pot Pies

This Beef Pot Pie recipe is adapted from the Pioneer Woman. It's hearty and comforting and just what we needed. If you don't have puff pastry, you could cover it in mashed potatoes or even tater tots!

Chicken Tetrazzini

Last night, my husband said we should make Chicken à la King. I happen to have a lot of chicken at the moment. I then proceed to tell him how to make Chicken Tetrazzini. I get them both mixed up!

It turns out the difference is that Chicken Tetrazzini has cheese in it and Chicken à la King does not. In the 1950s, you would open a can of Campbell's cream of mushroom soup, a package of frozen peas, carrots, a can of sliced mushrooms, some Velveeta cheese, and chicken or turkey and voila...an abomination! Anyway, my version is delicious!

Cheesy Chicken with Mushrooms

This Cheesy Chicken with Mushrooms is sautéed and then baked. You can either put it in one casserole dish or individual baking dishes. You can use any kind of cheese you like, I used Parmesan, but mozzarella, Gruyère, cheddar, Swiss, etc.

Broccoli Cheese Soup

This Broccoli Cheese Soup is creamy, cheesy and comforting. It makes a great lunch. I made it in my Instant Pot, but have also included the stovetop instructions. The recipe is vegetarian, though you can use chicken stock instead of vegetable stock.

Beef Stew for Two

I love recipes that serve 2. You can scale this Beef Stew for Two up to serve more. I happened to have had a small chuck roast and all the other ingredients. I love when that happens! It's very flavorful and I made it in the Instant Pot, but also have included the stovetop instructions.

Vegetable Chili

This is one of my all-time favorite chili recipes, which happens to be vegetarian. It's the perfect thing to make for a crowd with a regular chili con carne. It will please your vegetarian guests and the carnivores as well. It's delicious!

Lemony Shrimp with White Beans and Couscous

This Lemony Shrimp with White Beans and Couscous is super fast to make. I used Israeli Couscous, but you could use orzo or a wide pasta such as a pappardelle. The key is to not overcook the shrimp!

It’s winter and it’s cold. All you want is something hearty and stick-to-your-ribs good.

Rethink your winter carbo-load with this guiltless (but comforting!) veggie-loaded dish. You can leave out the sausage and make it truly vegetarian.
