This recipe — which I found floating around on Pinterest, originally from a now-defunct blog — is what finally made me comfortable cooking chicken. It's so, so good. Recipe here.

This recipe is criminally easy and is a great one to make on Sunday so you have food all week. Recipe here.

I have been making this chili for years (usually with ground chicken) and it never lets me down. Also, bring it to a party, people will love you for it. Get the recipe here.

This recipe is SO DAMN GOOD! FYI, I don't make my own salsa because I'm not trying to be a hero here. Also warms up nicely for lunches. Get the recipe here.

Also WHY did I start making this list while I was hungry????

I love these roasted SO much. Great with eggs, meat, or — my favorite — atop toast that's been spread with whipped feta (another recipe I love). See how to make them here.

I make this soup regularly during the winter and it's never let me down. Recipe here.

You just dump chicken and pineapple salsa in your Crock Pot. That's it. It's wonderful. Recipe here.

Can you tell I love both meat and my Crock Pot? Well, I do. Recipe here.

I didn't even know I liked barbecue chicken pizza until I tried this recipe. See how to make it here.

Don't be intimidated by the egg folding technique; it's actually very doable! Get the recipe here.

I find this recipe is a little too labor intensive to make every week, but making it on a Sunday once a month or so is doable and worth it. Tip: if you plan to eat the leftovers, cook the pasta separately and then add to the soup before serving/reheating. Otherwise, the noodles will absorb a lot of the liquid as it sits in the fridge, and it becomes considerably less soup-like after a few days.

Uggggggh, I want these RIGHT NOW. (PS The bacon is fine, but if you want to save a step, I don't think you really need it.) Recipe here.

So delicious and satisfying. Recipe here.

I didn't realize how badly I needed homemade hot chocolate in my life until I tried this recipe. (BTW I tried making the marshmallows once, had a major kitchen fail, and never bothered again because I don't even like marshmallows that much.) See how to make it here.
