Home Hi! I’m SO glad you’re here.

Hi! I’m SO glad you’re here.

Can I let you in on a secret? My favorite way to spend an entire day is not in the kitchen! I’d rather spend hours outside at a park with my husband and kids, catch up on my DVR, or sit around a campfire. I don’t want to spend 3 hours making dinner. Instead, I want to hear about what happened at school today, or play a game of UNO. 

I’m guessing you’re similar. Maybe it’s Apples to Apples and not UNO, or maybe it’s your cuddly little fur-baby instead of kids. Or maybe you’d just rather catch up on the Real Housewives than cook an elaborate feast. I get it…I really do! 

That’s why you’re going to find a ton of quick and easy meals here. I have entire categories of recipes devoted to getting you out of the kitchen faster. It sounds counterintuitive that a food blogger wants to get out of the kitchen, but I pride myself on honesty, and I honestly hate doing dishes.

I won’t bore you with a ton of info about me, but if you’re interested, you can find that here.

Here are a few great places to start finding recipes: 

  • 30 minute recipes
  • 5 ingredients or less
  • One Pan Meals
  • Sheet Pan Dinners

Of course, you can also browse my entire recipe index.

It’s sorted by special diet, occasion, kitchen tool, and ingredient to make it easy for you to quickly find what you need.

If you like what you see, I’d be absolutely thrilled if you’d sign up for my email list. You’ll be the first to know about new recipes on Rachel Cooks!

I love hearing from you! You can contact me anytime…I’ll email you back!

I know there’s a million recipe websites on the great big world wide web, and I’m honored you landed on mine and stuck around.
