Mac and cheese (vegan or otherwise) usually falls into two categories: creamy stovetop or crispy topped baked. I’m here to tell you that this panfried mac and cheese deserves as much recognition! It’s like a creamy stovetop mac and cheese meets a baked mac and cheese, but instead of baked, it’s pan fried until the noodles soak up extra cheesy sauce and crispy bits form against the pan. It’s a mac and cheese where leftovers are as good as same day eats, because those noodles just get chewier and better as they sit overnight in the fridge!...

Technically, this ice cream flavor doesn’t have to be made with only chocolate chip cookie dough. You can make no-bake versions of your favorite cookie dough – peanut butter, oatmeal, snickerdoodle, and brownie cookie dough would also all be delicious!

This creamy crockpot Italian chicken recipe was introduced to me by one of my college roommates way back in the day. Our apartment of 6 girls would take turns cooking for each other one night a week and this was a favorite because we could throw everything in around lunch time, head to afternoon classes, and have a satisfying homemade dinner when we got home. I always serve our creamy Italian chicken over a bed of white rice with some sort of steamed veggie on the side, but it would also be great over pasta or with a loaf of crusty bread on the side to sop up all of the delicious sauce....
