Who doesn’t love a good grilled cheese? I don’t know about you, but cheesy, carb-filled deliciousness is my middle name. Plus, you can customize your grilled cheese any way you like! Add bacon, avocado, grilled onions, or tomatoes. You can’t really go wrong. Dip your grilled cheese in creamy tomato basil soup if you are feeling extra fancy. Yum!
4. Chicken Broccoli Cheese Casserole
This cheesy chicken broccoli casserole is something your grandma would whip up at Thanksgiving. But why wait for Thanksgiving when you can just make it yourself? We love an independent cooking queen!

This one goes out to all my taco lovers out there, I know you’re there! These savory street tacos are a comfort-food lovers dream. With pulled pork or chicken, creamy guacamole, pico de gallo all wrapped in a corn tortilla, you won’t know what hit you. Great, now I’m craving Mexican food.
6. Shrimp Fettucine
This shrimp fettucine recipe is perfect for those chilly fall nights when all you want to do is curl up on the couch and watch Netflix. I love pasta with a nice protein for extra substance. This pasta has fresh grilled shrimp and flavorful herbs and seasoning. You can choose to cook your pasta in butter or olive oil, it’s up to you. You do you boo!
7. Teriyaki Chicken Casserole
This teriyaki chicken casserole is such a fun twist on a regular chicken casserole. If you love Asian food, this recipe is for you! Equipped with healthy veggies and flavorful chicken and rice, this casserole is made for all your fall cravings. Whip this dish up for friends and family or just for you and your love.

This butternut squash and chicken stew curry recipe is bursting with flavor! Whip this baby up for dinner when you just need a little pick me up. You won’t regret letting this recipe into your life, it won’t let you down. Add a little spice to your life!
9. Comforting Meals: Mac and Cheese
Macaroni and cheese is such a classic childhood favorite. If your grandma or mom didn’t make you some bomb mac and cheese, this is your chance to make it yourself! Get some elbow pasta at the grocery store, and melt cheddar cheese, butter and herbs over a hot stove. Mmmm! Comfort food at its finest.
