5 Cozy, Easy Dinner Recipes!

Published 23 days ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader!

Happy fall! It's officially comfort food and cozy sock season, and I couldn't be happier.

I’ve rounded up five of my favorite easy comfort recipes to keep you warm and happy without a lot of fuss. Let's dive in...

  1. ​Ground Turkey Sloppy Joes - Salmon patties just got fancy and turned themselves into meatballs!
  2. ​Instant Pot Chicken Stew - Reader review: "Tons of flavor for minimal effort...and healthy too! Great recipe if you want chicken that tears apart easily and don't want to cook a separate carb on the side."
  3. ​Herbed Pork Chops with Garlic Butter - 100+ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ reviews!
  4. ​Roasted Vegetable & Chickpea Bowl - I make this almost every week. It's tossed with a hummus dressing, or swap in tahini dressing.
  5. ​Southwestern Ground Turkey Casserole - Reader review: "This is quite literally one of my favorite recipes - I LOVE it SO much. I double it, so I cook and bake it in my *huge* skillet."

​
See you next time!
