Who doesn’t love pizza? This recipe elevates the classic pepperoni pizza to a whole new level with the sprinkle of ricotta and drizzle of homemade hot honey sauce. For an extra touch, try making this simple pizza dough recipe—it’s worth it!

A toasted sub loaded with provolone cheese and juicy homemade meatballs–yum! This brings the classic meatball with marinara back. You can even leave the bread behind, and serve the meatballs over rice for a tasty variation.

This one’s a comfort food favorite. The sauce is perfect and it goes so well with the noodles, beef, and crisp broccoli. Short on beef? Pork makes a great substitute.

These noodles are so fast and easy to whip up, not to mention bursting with flavor. You can adjust the spice to your liking—from mild to fiery hot. Try it with different types of pasta; we’ve loved them with fettuccine, angel hair, and spaghetti.

Simple, satisfying, and full of flavor. This rice bowl is the perfect way to end a long day. Don’t forget to top it with a ripe avocado for the perfect finishing touch.
