Spaghetti Squash with Spinach and Ricotta
Rachael likens the flavor of this healthy dish to lasagna, yum! She starts with two roasted spaghetti squashes, and shreds the insides with a fork. She mixes up some ricotta, spinach, egg and Parmigiano Reggiano, adds the squash, combines, then puts in a casserole dish. She tops with mozzarella cheese and bakes. That’s it!
Kelsey Nixon’s Skillet Candied Sweet Potatoes with Toasted Pecans
This recipe couldn’t be easier – it’s really a “set it and forget it” method. Kelsey melts a stick of butter in the bottom of a heavy-bottomed pot, then adds sweet potato rounds sliced to about 1/3 inch thick. She mixes in a combination of brown sugar, white sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg, then covers with a tight-fitting lid and cooks for an hour. When they’re done cooking, add a dash of vanilla and stir. Top with toasted pecans before serving. That’s it!

Chipotle Chicken Nacho Casserole
For this king of all nacho recipes, Rachael “tiles” her chips, smoky chipotle chicken, and cheese so that the ingredients are well distributed, heats, and then tops with salsa, jalapenos and sour cream. Nothing wrong with any of that!

Marc Murphy’s Brussels Sprouts with Bacon
Marc starts by shocking his sprouts in salted boiling water to keep that beautiful bright green color, then sautees with bacon – that’s it! Super simple but with huge flavor!
Carbonara Mac ‘n Cheese Soufflé
Want carbonara AND mac and cheese? Why choose, when you can have both! And what a dish this is, with the mac and cheese being suspended in a fluffy soufflé.
Kelsey Nixon’s Slow Cooker Herbed Stuffing
This game-changing idea is truly brilliant and we can’t believe we haven’t always done it this way – Kelsey cooks stuffing in the crockpot! She mixes up her stuffing like she normally does, and then just puts it in the slow cooker and cooks on low for 3-4 hours. And who said stuffing can only be made on Thanksgiving? This is one you’re going to want to make all year round!
