Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo Bake is a decadent-tasting, wholesome, comfort food casserole that’s so easy to make. It’s high in protein and a little lighter than most alfredo pastas. Plus it’s freezer-friendly, so double and freeze one for later while you’re at it.

Here is an overview of the steps:
✅Cook pasta and broccoli
✅Make alfredo sauce - or use jarred sauce with a few additions according to our recipe
👉melt butter, and whisk in flour for about a minute
👉whisk in broth and milk until smooth.
👉simmer until slightly thickened
👉whisk Parmesan, salt, and pepper until combined.
✅Combine pasta, broccoli, cooked chicken, alfredo sauce, and seasonings
✅Assemble casserole
✅Freeze now or bake and enjoy!

Comment marinara for this easy, slow-cooks-all-day, meaty marinara sauce.

With a few simple ingredients, this hearty Crockpot Spaghetti Sauce couldn’t be easier or tastier! Serve over pasta, zoodles, or spaghetti squash for a delicious and healthy dinner. It’s dairy-free, gluten-free, and freezer-friendly.

Looking for a delicious casserole that DOESN’T include canned soup or other junky ingredients? This is it!

This CHEESY CHICKEN AND RICE CASSEROLE is healthier than most–filled with veggies, brown rice, and chicken–but still creamy, cheesy, and comforting!

I (Rachel) worked hard (many, many tests and tweaks over the years!) to include lots of veggies and real food ingredients yet make sure this casserole lives up to its traditional reputation as comfort food.

This chicken casserole has the perfect balance of creaminess, comfort, crunch, and healthiness, in my humble opinion.

Here are the simple steps:
1️⃣Saute Veggies
2️⃣Make Filling - The comfort factor without can soup!
3️⃣Stir in Chicken, Veggies, and Brown Rice
4️⃣Spread in Casserole Dish
5️⃣Mix Breadcrumbs and Oil
6️⃣Top Casserole Dish with Breadcrumbs
7️⃣Bake & Enjoy healthy comfort food!

Back-to-school meal prep just got way easier (and tastier 🍕🙌)!

We partnered with @hyveecolumbia (#ad) to bring you this month’s Freezer Meal of the Month: High Protein Pepperoni Pizza Muffins.

Made with 100% whole wheat and packed with 14g of protein each, they taste like mini calzones (and are totally addictive).

I pack these for kid lunches in a thermos with pizza sauce for dipping, and boom—healthy, filling lunch is DONE.

✨ Grab our FREE printable with the recipe, freezer labels, & shopping list.

We're closing in on the end of 🌽Corn on the Cob🌽 season -- at least in Mid-Missouri. Have you tried our grilling method yet?

You can also prep the corn ahead before your Labor Day cookout. AND you can do as many as fits on the grill so it's great for a large group.

Try it -- you won't regret it!
