Comfort Food
Biscuit Topped Vegetable Stew
This comforting stew takes a little extra time in roasting the veggies first but I promise you it's worth it! The flavors are sensational and the hearty root vegetables leave you full and satisfied. Topped with your favorite biscuits, it's a well balanced meal all in one bowl. The best part of all is how flexible this recipe is. Use ingredients you like and easily tailor it to your personal tastes!
Vegetarian “Chicken” Noodle Soup
Tis the season for sneezes and sniffles... Nothing sooths a cold like chicken noodle soup. But is the chicken part really necessary? Not anymore!
Healthy Tuna Casserole
This classic tuna casserole isn't exactly like your mom used to make... It's better! Made from scratch, and stuffed full of obvious and not so obvious vegetables this healthier version of the tried and true classic combines my favorite things, easy and healthy!
Spinach Potato Pie
This savory pie is warming without being spicy. It is the perfect comfort meal on those cold winter nights.
Homemade Mac & Cheese
I can't think of a more classic comfort food than macaroni and cheese. You most likely have all the ingredients you need for this recipe at any given time, making it a perfect go to weeknight meal choice. My favorite thing about this recipe though is how flexible it is. From the pasta to the cheese and the seasonings, every tweak makes this dish your own. Make this your families newest staple!
Autumn Stuffed Acorn Squash
This beautiful main course is stuffed full of classic Fall flavors! The warming spices, toasted nuts, and soft flavorful autumn squash transports your taste buds to a forest aflame with changing colors, while you sit wrapped in a cozy blanket breathing in the scents of Fall. This healthy dish can be an easy weekday family favorite or the centerpiece of a fancy celebration.
No Chicken Pot Pie
This "chicken" pot pie is succulent, healthy, and vegetarian. If you served this to carnivores they would have no idea it wasn't actually chicken! You have to try this amazing twist on the classic comfort food!
Quinoa Enchilada Casserole
This enchilada casserole is served as more of a main dish dip in my house. We forgo the spoons for this one and scoop each bite with corn chips. Easy, healthy and hearty!
Vegetarian Shepard’s Pie
Cottage pie are some of my all time favorite comfort foods. There is just something so soothing about that warm, succulent dish. When we stopped eating meat I think I was most upset to lose this specific meal. These days though, you don't have to miss out on almost anything!
