This buffalo chicken pizza has saucy shredded chicken, Mozzarella, garlic oil, bleu cheese, and homemade chive pesto. It goes great with a side of creamy ranch and a cold beer on Game Day or even just a lazy Friday night!

This sheet pan chicken cordon bleu is rolled up with smoky ham, melty Swiss, and topped with an herby Dijon sauce. Served with garlicky roasted broccoli, this is one of my go-to easy weeknight dinners!
These BBQ chicken nachos with cilantro-lime crema are tangy, cheesy, and delicious. With melty cheese, guacamole, and slices of fresh jalapeƱos, these nachos are perfect for a movie night or game day!
This Thai chicken and rice soup is one of our favorite cozy, one-pot weeknight dinners that we usually make once a month, regardless of the season. Inspired by Thai flavors, this soup has lime juice, fish sauce, soy sauce, and herbs for a spicy, fresh, and perfectly savory soup!

PSA: Please be nice to college students, we are in the midst of midterms and life is a lot to deal with right now!!!!!!!
Over the past couple of weeks, I have been a giant ball of college-related anxiety which has led me to staying up into the early hours of the morning working on business plans and marketing research studies while living off of scrambled eggs with toast. Iāve also been fighting the early stages of a cold by popping obscene amounts of Vitamin C and drinking Immune Boosting Tea. The cabin fever is getting to a Jack Nicholson-level that makes me dream of hiking and Tahoe beaches and weekend roadtrips to San Fran.
In times like these, I find the only cure is to take a couple of hours to indulge comfort food, a sleeve of Milanos, and a lighthearted tween movie, normally of the Disney variety, although that is not required. My choice of the moment is Princess Diaries. But I digress. What Iām really here to talk about is the comfort food component.
Today, we have chicken pot pie that has been deconstructed, because thereās less time between preparation and consumption, and also puff pastry is the jam. I developed the recipe randomly one weekend with ingredients I had sitting around in my fridge, and I will never look back. As far as Iām concerned, chicken pot pie is the best food to cure sadness, and also itās the best way to say goodbye to the winter season. While this is not necessarily a ātraditionalā pot pie, it has all of the components. Chicken, veggies, thyme, crust, warmth, happiness. And youāre probably eating it snuggled up in a blanket while watching a movie. I *highly suggest* making this one last time before BBQ season officially hits.
This is a very easy pot pie recipe! It’s one of my favorites for the weekend, because it only takes like, an hour total. I prefer to make little mini chicken pot pie cocottes, but it’s not necessary. You can also make this a one-pot deconstructed chicken pot pie if you feel so inclined! You just have to boil the chicken and potatoes, saute the veggies, and thicken the sauce. After, top it with buttery puff pastry! And then dig in while it’s way too hot, burn your lip, and have the *ultimate* chicken pot pie situation.
Also, this recipe is easy to switch up! Use whatever veggies you have laying around. You could do broccoli or green beans or mushrooms if you’d like. I kind of think mushrooms have the texture of a slug, so I avoid them. But do you!
And speaking of mushrooms, you could totally make this recipe vegetarian by subbing chicken for mushrooms and using veggie broth! Super easy. Have fun. Get creative. Go crazy, girl.
(On another note, if you know anyone interested in funding a coffee shop/bakery or a weekend vacation, or you have some secret knowledge that Iām a princess and therefore deserve to be in the far away land of Genovia wearing pretty ballgowns and living in a castle instead of studying my brains out in college, you know where to find me).
Notes: This will feed six people if you have other sides involved. If you have big eaters, this will probably only feed four.
Make it vegetarian by subbing the chicken for mushrooms and using veggie broth!
You can also use regular pie dough if you prefer that over puff pastry.
You can use ramekins or cocottes. I like Staub and Le Creuset. These are the cocottes I used for this recipe.

Hi guys!
I’m writing this post late in the night purely because there’s a good chance I’ll be on a small hiatus for the next few weeks.
Why?
Because I’m moving! Ā Yep, the past week all I’ve been doing is packing away. Ā We even got a 26 foot trailer to pack it all in. Ā Crazy!
So, about these tacos. Ā I’ve been craving Mexican food so badly the past few weeks but have yet to get it. Ā And even though what I’m really craving is deep fried chips with salsa, and globs of gooey cheese over shredded beef, this was a pretty good sub for a healthy dinner.
And just in case you’re wondering, my brother (and I quote) said these were “the best tacos he ever had”. Ā A nice compliment if I do say so myself.
The best part? Ā They’re sooo easy! Ā They only took me about 1 hour to make from prep to dish-washing, and some of it can be made in advance if needed.
Keep reading for the best tacos ever š
