Let’s be honest — sometimes a “salad” just doesn’t cut it when you’re craving something that actually fills you up and makes your taste buds sing. The first time I threw together an Asian Chicken Cranberry Salad like this, I’d just come home from a grocery run with a rotisserie chicken and, truth be told, a nagging sweet tooth. But what I really needed was a dinner that felt both fresh and a little special, since food should be the happiest part of the day (especially after 40, when we’ve earned it!). Well, friends, this salad delivered all of the …

Million Dollar Chicken Spaghetti

Let me tell you, there’s just nothing quite like coming home to a bubbling-hot, creamy pan of chicken spaghetti straight from the oven after a long day. In the Midwest where I grew up, casseroles like this—always a little bit indulgent, extra cheesy, and big enough to feed half the neighborhood—were basically our love language. I probably made some version of baked chicken spaghetti for every family reunion, Sunday supper, and “surprise there are 8 people for dinner” night. Truth be told, I could probably whip one up eyes closed (but my kitchen counters would protest). This Million Dollar Chicken …
