Slow Cooker Chicken Alfredo

This easy slow cooker chicken Alfredo with Swiss cheese and Parmesan is super creamy and saucy. It's so good served over egg noodles.

Chef John's Hot and Sour Soup

This hot and sour soup is almost always served as an appetizer in a Chinese restaurant. Yes, it's hot, and yes, it's sour, but it's also so much more, and other than a little bit of slicing and dicing, this is relatively quick and easy to make. Add some pork to this, or some little fun-sized meatballs for a fantastic meal. Serve with extra sliced green onions on top.

Simple Banana Bread

I developed this banana bread recipe without baking soda because I had limited ingredients and wanted a bread recipe, not cake-like, while living in a 10-foot trailer. This recipe is also low in fat.

Four-Ingredient Gluten-Free Italian Coconut Cookies

These soft Italian coconut cookies are a hit at any get-together. I've made them gluten free, but you can use the same amount of all-purpose wheat flour instead of gluten-free flour. There are many variations of this cookie in Italy. Some people add chocolate chips and some drizzle dark chocolate over them once cooled.
