Baked Spinach Artichoke Dip Recipe I could make a meal out of dip. And baked spinach artichoke dip is my absolute favorite dip. The old expression about liking a little bit of coffee with my cream rings true with this hot spinach artichoke dip. I like a few bites of chips or crackers with the dip but really, they’re not necessary. Just give me a spoon. I pile the baked spinach artichoke dip on so thick and sky high that I break chips....

comment icon 13 more comments Yes, I said week. It’s a little random, I know, but the inspiration for “Risotto Week” came when I started totaling my Black Friday bills. Not to mention, we are in the process of refurnishing parts of our home, and we’ve been eating out more lately… ‘tis the season for spending! Or, maybe not! As I brainstormed ways to cut back on our grocery bill this week, an image of the my 36 ounce container of risotto popped into my head....

We ate it all up! It was quick and easy and perfect. The lemon brightened it beautifully and as my husband said “the heavy cream really makes this dish.” Yum yum yum We added a handful of spinach which was easy and you couldn’t really taste it. Even my toddler ate this up. Can’t say enough good things. We will definitely make this again (soon)! comment icon 42 more comments This soup is a pantry essential with just a few ingredients coming straight out of the cupboards: tomato paste, garlic, broth, and orzo....

Beef chili, topped with melted cheese, and baked inside flaky, tender biscuits is what you’ve got going on here. The chili cheese cups are going to be a major hit at your next tailgating party, holiday party, or for your average Monday night dinner that needs to be easy and ready in under 30 minutes. I made beef chili in under 10 minutes by quickly browning ground beef, adding beans, tomato paste, and liberally seasoning with dried onion, chili powder, cumin, and smoked paprika....

Copycat Disneyland Churro Toffee Recipe I love a good copycat recipe, from PF Chang’s Chicken Lettuce Wraps to Starbucks Lemon Loaf and Cracker Barrel Meatloaf. But this churro toffee is one of my very best recreations! It’s so similar to the Disneyland treat. Except my homemade version, in my humble opinion, is even better! Homemade usually is — I can’t tell you how many readers have told me they’ll never grab a Starbucks Double Chocolate Brownie again when they can make them at home....

Classic Manhattan Cocktail Recipe When I think of a Manhattan, I’m not going to lie, I think of something that my dad would drink. Something classic, refined, potent, not sweet, and probably not what you’d see anyone on a college spring break trip ordering. Then again, you never know! I also think what was old is becoming new again. Many things seem to have a way of coming back around and become in fashion again....

Whole wheat cranberry dark chocolate biscotti with flecks of orange zest, raw honey in place of sugar, and a generous drizzle of dark chocolate are sitting nice and pretty on my plate (ahem, hand) this morning, and with that, it feels very very verrrry good to be home. Even though our house is crazy and we don’t have a kitchen right now other than a few small appliances – holla to the rice cooker – sitting on a workbench in the basement, I wanted to get things all nice and homey + cozy right off the bat with something biscotti-delicious that could be soaked in a steaming hot mug of very strong coffee....

I took those flavors and made a cake, using my favorite foolproof, one-bowl, easy cake base. The batter comes together like muffin batter in 5 minutes flat. A bowl of dry ingredients and a bowl of wet. Pour the wet over the dry, stir, pour into a pan, and bake. No mixer, nothing complicated or fussy. I loathe dry cake and used a trifecta of tricks to keep it super soft, moist, and tender....

Air Fryer Mozzarella Cheese Sticks Recipe Everyone I know loves mozzarella cheese sticks! With an air fryer, you can enjoy these cheese sticks with their crispy-crunchy exterior, and the cheese inside is melted to gooey perfection – and no actual frying involved. To give the air fryer mozzarella cheese sticks tons of flavor, I dredge them in mixture of Parmesan, herbs, and spiced bread crumbs to coat them before they’re fried to perfection....

No, don’t really do that. But for real. Guess what today is? VIDEO day! My face will stop looking so red when you press play. Promise. I want you to know a few things. This is the first time I’ve done my hair since the last video. Thank you for giving me a reason to groom myself once every three weeks. We miss fall. We miss football. Ok, no, he misses football and I miss football snacks and oversized hoodies....

Crockpot Cheeseburger Soup Recipe This decadent dish is like eating a loaded cheeseburger, but in soup form! It’s guaranteed to be a family favorite, especially when the weather is chilly. There’s ground beef, bacon, cheese, and jalapeno for a bit of kick. The broth is cheesy, cheesy, and spiced with a bit of smoked paprika for a perfect savory touch. An array of vegetables including potatoes, carrots, celery, and onion provide depth of flavor and heartiness....

Dill Pickle Pasta Salad Recipe I am a big pickle fan, but my daughter has me beat! She loves her pickles and always has.

It’s a mixture of tender pasta, coasted in a creamy dressing, along with crispy and crunchy dill pickles in every bite!...

Fluffy Buttermilk Waffles Recipe I may never make another pancake after making these easy homemade waffles. They taste like pancake-house waffles, and are mindlessly easy to make. I don’t know why I haven’t made waffles in ages, but I was doing some cupboard rearranging and noticed my very neglected waffle maker. So I dusted it off and made classic buttermilk waffles. They’re crispy on the outside, yet softer and fluffier in the interior....

Shortcut Pillsbury Sticky Buns Sticky, sweet, gooey, messy. And so fast and easy! These are the easiest sticky buns you’ll ever make because there’s a shortcut. I really like shortcuts. Especially when I’m having people over for brunch, and I want to focus on the people. Not on bread dough. I have many scratch cinnamon roll recipes, and some that are even ready in one hour, but sometimes shortcuts save my sanity....
