Turkey Chili, Pulled Chicken, and Stuffed Peppers (and More Favorites) Coming Up! 🍲 🥪 🫑

Happy Saturday, Reader! We've had a few ups and downs lately, so I'm craving a little comfort food. But that doesn't always have to mean incredibly heavy meals or hours in the kitchen. For me, it's all about classics, and even using shortcuts on busy nights. What matters is how it brings the family around the table!

Let's get cooking!

Shortcut Monday Comfort Food...

Turkey chili in a crock topped with cheese and sour cream.

Canned chipotles are a shortcut to long-cooked flavor in this hearty chili. All the comfort you want in a fraction of the time, with plenty of meat and beans, plus just the right amount of spice. Serve with tortilla chips and roasted cauliflower.

Let's Make it Tostada Tuesday...

Trade tortillas for tostada shells this Taco Tuesday. We're changing things up, but still making a customizable meal. Feel free to use pre-cooked chicken and canned refried beans. Serve with your favorite toppings and plantains on the side.

Old School on Wednesday...

It's nice to find out a dish you've always loved is naturally gluten free. These colorful peppers are filled with traditional saucy beef and rice. Skip the cheese if you avoid dairy. Serve with steamed broccoli.

Thursday is Pasta Night...

⭐ Did you try this recipe?

I'd love it if you could leave a star rating and review on the post! It really helps me out!

Boil up some penne or your favorite gluten free noodles. In the time they take to cook, you can make this simple and creamy sauce, a recipe we got from our Italian neighbor's mom back in the day. Serve with a side salad.

Let the Slow Cooker Do the Work on Friday...

An apple cider pulled chicken sandwich on a plate.

Toss some simple and fresh ingredients in your crockpot and come home to tender chicken with fall flavor. I like to pile it on buns (GF, for those who need them) with sharp cheddar, but it's just as good to dig in with a fork. Serve with sweet potato fries and green beans.
