This copycat Cracker Barrel hashbrown casserole is the perfect cheesy, tangy, creamy hashbrown casserole from the popular chain restaurant! This can be made in advance and baked in the morning for brunch, or eaten as a side dish all week long! Pro Tip: This is really really really good with Cajun Glazed Bacon on the side!
Oh, hey.
How are you doing on restaurant food? Back in restaurants? Outside? Inside? More takeout than you've ever imagined? Missing everything like whoa?
...Mark Bittman's no-knead bread (easy dutch oven bread) is the easiest, most foolproof path to artisan-style bread at home with just 4 ingredients and a little time. No special equipment, no kneading, this is the best homemade bread ever!
Mark Bittman does it again! I have been waiting and waiting to show you this.
Much like my favorite pancakes that we make at least weekly, this homemade no-knead bread recipe was a real game-changer for me.
It of course started in quarantine, as so many carb endeavors have, but I waited a few months to write about it because I wanted to be sure it worked every.single.time.
...This chicken pot pie variation is made with a tater tot crust, is super easy to make, and is the best comfort food for weeknights or weekends! Midwesterners call this hotdish, any creamy dreamy casserole filling + a tater tot crust. The filling can be made in advance for meal prep and frozen tater tots take all the guesswork out of making your own pie crust for chicken pot pie.
Oh oh oh oh HELL YES.
I am so excited for you to eat this.
...Hello and welcome to the middle weeks!
There is still school. There are still chores. We're still working. But we're in the MOOD for holiday stuff, right? It's busier, there are more activities, more opportunities to not keep up the great habits we've spent all year building. Meal prep quiche is here to save us from takeout temptation.
This is another version of my absolute favorite quiche that I shared several weeks ago - the Kale Roasted Red Pepper Quiche that dreams are made of. Here, we have options because we need our quiche to be exactly how we want it every single time. Meal prep quiche is the best kind of quiche, basically.
...Mmmmm, HELLO.
I shared last weekend that I made a bunch of quiches for a family gathering, and, not to toot my own horn, but they were suuuuuuper yum. I'm a sucker for a good quiche. The creamy eggy cheesy filling, some add-ins to make it your own, flaky buttery crust? All good things, yes they are.
My favorite quiche base recipe comes from my brother-in-law, Joe. I change the fillings and cheese every time based on who I'm serving and what I feel like, but the measurements stay the same and the possibilities are endless.
This particular super easy quiche features chopped kale, roasted red peppers, and crumbled feta. Nothing needs to be cooked in advance and the peppers come from a jar, so effort is minimal while the resulting quiche is nearly perfect.
