Maybe it’s a snowy Sunday and you’re feeling extra. Reach for heavy cream. Just pour a cup into a warm pan, add a dash of chicken bouillon, and let it bubble until it’s thick enough to coat a spoon. No other thickeners needed. It’s pure, unapologetic luxury.
Reserve this for dishes like creamy chicken noodle soup or a cozy scalloped potato casserole. Your waistline might argue, but your soul will thank you. Treat yourself.

The Dairy-Free, Vegan-Friendly Option
What if you’re cooking for someone who can’t do dairy? Or you just ran out of milk entirely? Canned coconut milk is your new best friend. It’s thick, creamy, and when you add some garlic, onion powder, and a squeeze of lemon, it tastes surprisingly savory. Don’t worry—it won’t make your shepherd’s pie taste like a piña colada.
A friend of mine makes a killer vegan chicken pot pie with coconut milk. She says it’s the only way her picky toddler will eat carrots. That’s a win in my book.
