Say hello to your favorite cookie in coffee cake form! The cake itself is soft, buttery, and tender. The crunch from the cinnamon sugar on top adds the perfect contrast of textures. It’s sweet with notes of vanilla and a touch of cinnamon. Serve this for breakfast with a hot cup of coffee for a cozy morning meal. This cake looks so fancy, yet it’s incredibly easy to make. The batter takes just 10 minutes to prepare and 30 minutes to bake....

I’m so excited to share this spicy Thai shrimp recipe with you! Partially because it’s a quick and easy dinner that comes together with minimal prep. Who doesn’t love those types of easy meals?!

In my opinion, no fruit announces Spring like strawberries! They are everywhere. It’s impossible not to notice them in the grocery store. Red, plump, juicy strawberries waiting to be grabbed. Boxes and boxes stacked beautifully at the entrance of the market to welcome you into the great, grand world of groceries. By the time I realize it, my hands already grabbed 2 boxes and my husband is giving me the suspicious look of: “those strawberries will go bad if we wait too long to eat them!...

FavoritePinShare Strawberry Pretzel Salad has a sweet and salty pretzel crust, cream cheese middle, and a jello strawberry layer on top. Perfection! Everyone loves this salad!

I was curious to know how a pretzel crust would taste and the result was fantastic!...

Plus, you are going to sound ultra-impressive when you casually mention that you are bringing a souffle. Though the word “souffle” suggests a dish that’s fussy (and you can allow your friends to assume as much), sweet potato souffle is EASY (even easier than Cornbread Stuffing!). The Sweet Potato Bake Debate One of the great battles of our time (not to be dramatic or anything) is whether or not Thanksgiving sweet potatoes should include mini marshmallows....

One of the most common questions I get in our keto support group is, “what is the best keto creamer for coffee?” And while many people on a keto diet opt to drink bulletproof coffee in lieu of creamer, many others (myself included!) just really wanted a keto coffee creamer recipe. So, here it is! Skip the weird, artificially sweetened sugar-free options at the store – this homemade keto friendly coffee creamer is super easy to make!...

So it was just a matter of time until I decided I had to master making it at home....

Of all the foods I despised as a kid (there were many), meatloaf was the king villain. Ben had similar feelings, so I promised in our wedding vows I’d never cook it (kidding, but now you see our level of fervor). Except…I couldn’t stop thinking about meatloaf. Turkey meatloaf is easy, protein rich, relatively inexpensive, and feeds a crowd; all qualities I esteem in a dinner recipe.My sister makes it for her family regularly and has been pestering me to give it another chance for years....

FavoritePinShare A quick and easy 30 minute meal that is packed with flavor and a meal that the family will love! When I had my little babe back in June some neighbors brought us over meals. I was looking forward to this because we have some amazing cooks in our neighborhood. Every meal that was brought to us we absolutely loved! It is so nice to be able to relax and recover and have dinner taken care of for you....

It’s our last official day of Zucchini Week, and I’m sending us forth in style with what may just be my very favorite zucchini recipe of them all: Healthy Zucchini Muffins. These moist, fluffy muffins are made with wholesome ingredients and are appropriate for toddlers, adults, and everyone in between. Whole grain and sweetened naturally, they are healthy enough to leave you feeling virtuous and sustained. Chocolate-chip-studded, tender, and lightly spiced, they’re also scrumptious enough to taste like a treat you’ll look forward to eating in the morning or tucking in with for a midafternoon pick-me-up....

These zucchini pizza boats are a delicious way to enjoy pizza flavors with a healthy zucchini “boat” instead of the crust!

Prep the zucchini pizza recipe in just 10 minutes, bake in 20, and this simple meal is ready to eat! What Is A Pizza Boat?...

Some foods just don’t lend themselves to leftovers, no matter how to try to reheat or prepare them. Luckily, that’s not the case with potatoes. You can use baked potatoes in soup, casseroles, breakfast bowls, and more. There’s so much you can do with them, in fact, that it was hard for me to pick my 10 favorite recipes. It was tough, but somehow, I finally managed to narrow them down, and here they are....

Blue cocktails are also extremely versatile. You can use them for practically any occasion. There’s the Fourth of July, Easter, bachelor parties, and more. You could even use the mocktail versions for boy baby showers! There are also lots of themed parties where blue drinks work well. Plus, they’re so gorgeous, you don’t even need a reason to enjoy them. For this list, I’ve included 17 of the loveliest, tastiest blue cocktails I know....

That’s because mini muffins are essentially just smaller, making them great for snacks. I like mini muffins so much because you’ll get a better muffin-top-to-muffin ratio. We all love that dense, thick, cookie-like layer over the muffin, right? As much as I love the soft and tender sponge inside, I much prefer the tops. And you’ll find that these minis are overall denser (but still fluffy) and more flavorful all over while still being perfectly moist inside....

There’s just something about soup that’s ideal for cool weather. It’s as much a part of the changing seasons as boots, pumpkin spice, and cranking up the thermostat. There are all kinds of soups you can make, of course, and you could always move into chili and stew territory, as well. But pasta soup recipes are some of my favorites. They’ll usually combine veggies, starchy, carby pasta, and (sometimes) meat....

(They also taste spectacularly good with chocolate!) There’s a lot you can do with peanut butter, so your snack options aren’t all that limited. You can make purely indulgent snacks, like peanut butter cups or peanut butter cookies, or you can make things that are a bit more nutritious, such as ants on a log. You can combine peanut butter with fruits, veggies, sugar, chocolate, and more. Regardless of what you make with it, it’s bound to be delicious because it’s peanut butter!...
