Chicken Pot Pie Casserole is an easy, no-fuss, comforting meal. It’s especially perfect for the week after Thanksgiving because you can use the leftovers that you already have on hand for this recipe. Substitute the chicken with your leftover turkey; replace the diced potatoes with the sweet potatoes or mashed potatoes you served as your side dish; and swap out the mixed vegetables with your green bean casserole, or with any other vegetables that were on your Thanksgiving table. (*Note: If you do use leftover turkey and potatoes, you can reduce the cooking time from 1 hour down to 20 minutes). And for those of you who are tired of eating Thanksgiving leftovers, prepare this recipe as is!

This is the most delicious green bean casserole, perfect for serving at holiday get-togethers. What really takes this dish over the top is the homemade French fried onion topping. If you ask me, there's a time and a place for canned French fried onions: never, and on the shelf. These onions are baked in the oven, so crunchy, and so full of flavor, which makes them much tastier and healthier than the store-bought version.
This classic Thanksgiving sweet potato casserole recipe is made with mashed sweet potatoes and a fluffy marshmallow topping. I’ve lightened up the holiday staple by using just a small amount of brown sugar to add a touch of sweetness to the potatoes. After all, the marshmallows are going to provide enough sweetness so that the potatoes themselves don’t need to be candied. There’s no substitute for marshmallows though, so load them on!
There’s nothing quite like homemade cranberry sauce – the texture of the popped cranberries, the tartness of the fruit combined with the tanginess of the citrus and sweetness of the sugar in perfect harmony, and how cranberry sauce and roast turkey tastes like they were made for each other. It's one of my favorite parts of the Thanksgiving feast, and so easy to make. I prepare the cranberry sauce a few days ahead for a few reasons. One, it tastes best when it has been chilled overnight; two, it keeps well in the fridge for a few days; and three, it helps to get a few sides prepared before Thanksgiving Day so that I can spend most of the holiday with my company instead of in the kitchen. Last year I made this recipe with walnuts, which added more texture and a bit of a nutty flavor to the sauce. This year I decided to leave out the walnuts, and the result was just as delicious.
Your slow cooker makes this beef stroganoff recipe so delicious and easy. Throw everything together in the crockpot, and a few hours later you've got fork-tender beef in a creamy golden mushroom sauce ready to eat.
Shrimp scampi is a dish traditionally made with shrimp in a lemon, garlic, and butter sauce - heavy on the butter. With this dish (or any dish, for that matter), you don't need tons of butter to have tons of flavor. My recipe for shrimp scampi is full of amazing lemon-garlic flavor like the traditional version, but is made much lighter by using a small amount of butter. Instead of serving it over a large plate of pasta, try serving it with a mixture of cooked vegetables, spaghetti squash, or a baked sweet potato.
Chicken rollups are the type of food that dress to impress. They're creative and pretty to look at, yet very easy to prepare. These are stuffed with spinach, mozzarella cheese, and cream cheese, and served with a super simple, light, creamy tomato sauce.

A healthier form of pizza! These zucchini pizza bites come together in just 15 minutes with only 3 ingredients and a few seasonings.
This casserole is a balanced and healthy meal, made with chicken, rice, broccoli, and my homemade cream of celery soup. Condensed soups are convenient, flavorful, and useful when preparing a quick weeknight dinner. On the downside, they're high in salt and artificial preservatives. I use them sometimes, but when I can, I make my own. Making your own condensed soup is actually really easy, and much healthier since it's preservative-free and you control the salt content. The celery soup used in this recipe requires only a few ingredients and takes less than 10 minutes to make.
