10 Cozy Dinner Ideas

January 14, 2021 by Life is but a Dish Leave a Comment

Let’s get dinner in the oven! Comfort food is my specialty, and these 10 Cozy Dinner Ideas are my favorites to put on the table when I want my home to feel inviting and warm.

Is anyone else feeling the pull to simple, classic foods these days? Even though 2020 is behind us I think we’re all still needing some good old-fashioned comfort foods! These 10 Cozy Dinner Ideas are recipes my family loves and requests. They fill my kitchen and home with inviting smells and put a smile on every face at the dinner table!

  • Easy Chicken Pot Pie

Everyday Slow Cooker Pot Roast

Doesn’t pot roast just scream Sunday dinner?! It’s savory, filling, and fills your home with the most delicious smells as it cooks all day.

Easy Chicken Pot Pie

Who doesn’t love a pot pie?! This just might be the most classic of my cozy dinner ideas. The flaky, buttery crust with warm filling gets rave reviews every time!

  • Sticky Chicken
  • Healthier Broccoli Cheddar Soup

Sticky Chicken

Sticky Chicken is a family recipe that everyone in my house loves. It’s especially good over a bowl of Coconut Rice with some Skillet Broccolini on the side.

Healthier Broccoli Cheddar Soup

This is a lightened-up classic Broccoli Soup. It gets creaminess from coconut milk instead of heavy cream, but it’s thick, comforting, and one of my favorite cozy dinner ideas.

  • Turkey Meatloaf

Honey Glazed Apple Roast Chicken

I love adding a little sweetness into dinner time. The honey and apple on this roast chicken is sooooo good and it’s a one-pot meal with potatoes and onions baked in the pan!

Turkey Meatloaf

We always say that this recipe turns meatloaf haters into meatloaf lovers. That’s not just a funny thing…this recipe has the track record to prove it! Everyone loves this perfect meatloaf and I think it’s best with Slow Cooker Mashed Potatoes.

  • Life is but a Dish Winter Minestrone Soup

Easy Picadillo

The ingredients in this recipe don’t necessarily stand out on their own, but when combined?! It’s unreal! This is a recipe that consistently surprises people with how good it is.

Winter Minestrone Soup

Winter Minestrone Soup is just so nourishing! It’s especially perfect with a loaf of crusty bread. Mmm…nothing better.

  • Mushroom Sage Lasagna
  • weekly inspiration

Mushroom Sage Lasagna

Make this lasagna ahead of time and pop it in the oven as soon as you’re ready to eat. Aromatic sage, savory mushroom, and mozzarella and parmesan cheeses make this an instant favorite.

Chicken & Black Bean Enchilada Casserole

Anyone else love a good old-fashioned casserole? My husband Zach LOVES this recipe. It’s cheesy, easy, and so good you’ll be craving the leftovers as soon as you finish dinner.
