Best Beef Chili Recipe

A bowl of hearty beef chili topped with shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, and fresh cilantro, served with toasted baguette slices.

Are you on the hunt for the best beef chili recipe? Look no further! This hearty, flavorful chili is my go-to comfort food, and Iโ€™m sure itโ€™ll quickly become yours too. Thereโ€™s nothing quite like a warm bowl of chili on a chilly night (I couldnโ€™t resist). Packed with tender beef, my secret ingredient smoky bacon, beans, and a special blend of spices with a hint of brown sugar, itโ€™s the perfect combo of rich flavors. In our home, we find it hard to stop eatingโ€”I've even had to explain to my husband that we canโ€™t have this for dinner every night! If he had to pick just one dinner for the...

The Best Pasta alla Vodka

Pot of Pasta alla Vodka topped with freshly grated parmesan cheese and fresh basil

Thereโ€™s something about a big bowl of creamy Pasta alla Vodka that just speaks to my soulโ€”especially when the sauce is rich, garlicky, and clings to every bite of rigatoni. Itโ€™s one of those dishes that feels a little fancy but is surprisingly simple to make at home. The tomato paste gives it depth, the cream makes it silky, and the vodka? Thatโ€™s the secret to pulling all the flavors together into one irresistibly smooth sauce. Iโ€™m sharing my secrets for making authentic, restaurant-worthy Pasta alla Vodka right at home.  For this easy pasta recipe I toss the onion in a food...

Looking for an easy, delicious dinner idea? This Greek Sheet Pan Chicken is packed with Mediterranean flavor, juicy marinated chicken, and roasted veggiesโ€”all cooked on one pan. Itโ€™s everything you want in a weeknight dinner: quick, healthy, and always a hit. I even featured it as one of my go-to recipes in the Winnipeg Sun, where I write the weekly food column! The simple lemon-garlic marinade adds bold, fresh taste, and the leftovers (if there are any!) are just as good the next day. Whether you're just starting out in the kitchen or youโ€™ve got dinner down to a science, this one-pan...

Easy Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe

Thereโ€™s nothing better than curling up with a comforting bowl of this one-pot turmeric ginger chicken noodle soup, which delivers on both flavor and nourishment. The power combo of ginger and turmeric is natureโ€™s way of soothing colds and upset tummies, making this the perfect go-to when you're feeling under the weather. Packed with chicken, veggies, and egg noodles, every bite is hearty and satisfyingโ€”no more empty spoonfuls of just broth! Iโ€™m going to be repeating this recipe, along with my old-fashioned beef stew, all winter long. These are two meals I love to make in big batches,...
