Today I have a no-cook, no-bake dessert that is quick and easy to make. It is called Ambrosia Salad aka fruit salad. It is great as Holiday dessert. Ambrosia literally means ‘food of the gods’ in Greek & Roman mythology. But this dish is very much American. It is a very popular dessert/ salad served around holidays in the Southern US states. This is a very quick and easy dessert to make....

The Best Bacon Mac & Cheese There’s not much that can’t be improved by the addition of bacon. It’s the secret ingredient in my award winning best chili recipe (there’s a reason it’s won over 50 first-place prizes!), the base of my ultimate potato soup, and it’s also Zach’s favorite food group. It’s the perfect balance of chewy, salty and smoky, and it’s the star of today’s bacon mac and cheese recipe....

(PS: I’m 100000% sure we can call them absolutely delicious and what really matters beyond that?) This is a spring-inspired baked chimichanga with pesto, Havarti, shredded chicken, and asparagus. I paired it with a fresh and bright arugula salad....

I originally shared this recipe for Pumpkin Spice Donuts over on Real Housemoms! Alright everyone, after today’s pumpkin donuts I have just one pumpkin recipe left for the season, so for those of you who hate pumpkin, relief is in sight, and for those of you who love it, well, we’ve had a pretty good run. It’s been really chilly here recently and finally actually feels like Fall. The mornings are the absolute worst, and pulling myself out of my warm bed every morning just plain sucks, as I’m sure most of you can relate....

Dump cake. Quite the attractive name, no? But if you’re familiar with dump cakes at all…you know they are easy to make. And you know I love easy recipes! Maybe we can just call it something else. Pour cake? No…., sounds like “poor” cake. Layer cake? No, that name certainly won’t work. Layer cakes are fancy and take actual time to make. Okay, so dump cake it is. It’s okay because the taste makes up for the name times a million....

Please do not be alarmed by the amount of green in today’s post! I know broccoli salad is a little different from what you’re used to seeing here, where sugar and chocolate and cookies and definitely not broccoli are the norm, but bear with me.

It’s perfect for serving alongside Easter dinner (or any holiday dinner) and is a simple and refreshing side dish for summer parties and pot lucks....

They’re the perfect hybrid of my brown butter chocolate chip cookies and oatmeal cookies. Easy! Browning the butter is simple, so don’t be intimidated by it. I demonstrate this in detail in my video below, but I also have an entire post on how to brown butter if you want a more in-depth tutorial....

Crisp and Fudgy Brownie Cookies Just like real brownies, these cookies have shiny and crackly tops (mixing the eggs really well helps with this!), and the texture is incredible, especially when you add mini chocolate chips. They are just pure brownie perfection. This is one of my older recipes from the blog that I’ve decided to give a makeover. Over the years, I slowly fell out of love with the original and felt it had room for improvement, especially in the “crackly, shiny tops” department (my favorite brownie characteristic 😍)....

While there are a lot of different varieties of buttercream frosting out there, American buttercream frosting is probably the one that you are most familiar with. It’s a sweet and simple icing that was the first of its kind that I ever learned to make. American buttercream is a bit different than my Swiss meringue buttercream recipe that I recently shared in that it: Crusts, meaning the exterior becomes firm and almost crisp....

I have a recipe for lighter and healthier Cauliflower Risotto today. This dish is made with grated cauliflower instead of the traditional arborio rice. It is great vegetarian side dish to make for the holiday parties or as a main dish on a busy week day. Cauliflower Rice Cauliflower has become a go-to substitute for many ingredients in the recent past. It is being used instead of rice like in this flavorful biryani that Dolphia made....

Oh goodness, you guys. Sometimes when I sit down to write about a recipe, I struggle with what to write. My life isn’t very exciting (in the very best way possible!), and my days are spent with my kiddos (I wouldn’t have it any other way!). However, sometimes that leads to…an absence of exciting things to write. Today, for example…the day I’m writing this. I took the kids to swimming lessons, and then we came home!...

Remember I mentioned that I had a great recipe to go with the tahini sauce recipe? Well, look no further — here it is! Sometimes I mix up my usual routine of buying ground turkey (every single time I go to the store) and I grab the ground chicken instead. Occasionally it is on sale, or I might just take it out of boredom. Mix up the ol’ routine. Despite being a food blogger, I do get into dinner ruts....
