A ten-inch bundt cake from the Nothing Bundt Cakes store costs more than $40! This homemade Nothing Bundt Cake takes just a few minutes to whip together, is super cheap, and the end result if both beautiful and delicious. You’ll notice the ingredients in this cake use both a cake mix and a box of instant pudding. This cake is one of the “from scratch” exceptions I make because I think it tastes every bit as delicious as a homemade cake....

Easy Gingerbread Cake Recipe I’m a huge gingerbread fan and when there’s chocolate and toffee involved as well, I am all about it. If you’ve never tried the gingerbread-chocolate combination, it’s fabulous and you should give it a whirl. Chocolate complements the gingerbread flavors nicely yet doesn’t mask them. The cake is an easy, no mixer recipe that’s nicely spiced and flavored with ginger, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, and molasses to give it classic gingerbread flavor — and of course chocolate....

Tis the season for creamy-sweet Cinnamon White Russians! 🎄 Preferably shared with friends, at a Christmas party, around a tree and a collection of white elephant gifts that will make you laugh until you cry. Or at least that’s how we do it. The reason for Cinnamon White Russians this weekend: it’s been at least five years in the making now that we’ve hosted an annual Christmas party for our friends, and today is our big party day!...

Easy Slow Cooker Potato Soup Recipe I have other potato soup recipes but nothing says comfort food like a slow cooker potato soup. And this is what I like to call a loaded potato slow cooker soup recipe. That’s because it reminds me of a loaded baked potato, but in soup form! In addition to tender potatoes bits, there’s a creamy and cheesy broth, crispy bacon bits, green onions, and cheddar cheese for the ultimate potato soup recipe....

You may recall that I recently posted about wanting to get a slow/pressure/rice cooker and was wondering what everyone recommended. The general consensus was that many of you love your slow cookers, but most of you actually prefer your rice cooker to your slow cooker, if you have them both. I still plan to get a rice cooker, but slow cookers were on sale at Target and for $29 bucks, I couldn’t pass this one up....

Its name is a crunchwrap and it’s all wrapped up in a huge soft flour tortilla and pan-fried until it’s crispy on the outside and gooey-delicious on the inside. comment icon 125 more comments The thing about a crunchwrap is that it doesn’t need to be bossy in the flavor department. I found the basic-taco-salad-ness of the flavors to be deliciously nostalgic and yummy, and besides, the main event here is the way it’s all structured....

Then, I had a blogger meetup with Madeline of GreensandJeans! We drank coffee, had a great time gossiping about all you other bloggies talking shop, talking life, and catching up! It was just what I needed…thanks, Madeline, you rock! Sorry, we didn’t do a photo op today but here’s a Photo and Link to our last Coffee Cluth And then it was time for me to get home with Skylar, get her some lunch and a nap, so I could get ready to go teach yoga....

Actually, I don’t need it to be summertime for that to sound good but summer is at least a good excuse for the melting ice cream part. I used this Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Häagen-Dazs® Ice Cream. It’s the creamiest, smoothest, best cookie dough ice cream I’ve ever had. The vanilla base is so rich and smooth. I wonder how many real vanilla beans they used to give it such intense vanilla flavor....

Best Peanut Butter and Jelly Dessert There’s nothing like the combination of peanut butter and jelly. So classic and perfect. But when you combine peanut butter and jelly in dessert form and add a crumble topping, it’s even better. The bars were a hit with kids and adults alike. I gave half the batch to a friend who declared them amazing and my family was begging for more after they demolished theirs....

Oven Baked Teriyaki Chicken and Rice Casserole Juicy chicken is combined with homemade teriyaki sauce, crisp-tender red bell peppers, juicy pineapple chunks, tender rice, and fresh green onions for color and flavor. There’s also plenty of garlic and ginger, which is a must in Asian-inspired recipes. Since my daughter and I love the combination of pineapple with savory flavors like teriyaki sauce, this was a total win for us. The sweetness balances the salty, savory aspect....

Best Ever Shrimp Fried Rice Recipe One of the most popular posts on my site for the past few years has been my Better-Than-Takeout Chicken Fried Rice recipe. There’s even a video in that post to show you exactly how to make it and you’re basically recreating that recipe but with shrimp. This is an easy, one-skillet recipe that’s ready in 20 minutes and tastes better than takeout. It’s healthier, not greasy, and you’re going to love it....

Standing about 12-14 inches back and trying to get as close to the food as possible and have the camera still take the picture has been my course of action. The camera won’t “snap” the picture if I get too close. But sometimes I want to zoom in and get more detail than this… Here was my photography attempt with my “Baked” Pumpkin Pie Bananas snack: Slice 1 Banana Sprinkle with 1 Tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice & 1 Tsp of Sugar Microwave for 30 seconds So these pictures of my edamame and tomato salad are as zoomed in as I can get....

Easy Cherry Pie Filling Dessert My grandma used to make the best homemade cherry pie. Nothing could ever come close to her pie. Tender, buttery, and perfectly sweet. However, I’m not a pie-maker and prefer the ease of dessert bars like my blueberry pie bars and these cherry pie bars. They’re perfect for all of us non-pie-makers! There’s a tender, soft, buttery shortbread crust topped with cherry pie filling before being baked and glazed....

Gooey Lemon Bars (with Cake Mix!) A couple weeks ago, I made Strawberry White Chocolate Gooey Bars and they were so darn good. And so easy. So I adapted that recipe and spun it into these lemony beauties. They’re like lemon bars on steroids. If you like lemon bars, you’re going to love these. It’s an easy, 6-ingredient recipe that will be a hit with lemon and white chocolate lovers....

comment icon 52 more comments Okay, maybe green bean casserole hits the holiday table every year and you are like YES PLEASE, PASS IT HERE. Or maybe you see it and you’re like, hmm, mushy green beans and kinda gloppy gravy bits, NO THANKS (harsh, but we get it). Or maybe you’re not from the Midwest and you’re reading this like, I’m sorry, whaaa?? No matter where you’re at, please forget everything you know (or don’t know) about green bean casserole and get ready for this savory, creamy veg gem....

Grilled Salmon Foil Packets If you’re looking for a fast, foolproof, and flavorful way to cook salmon, save this grilled salmon foil pack recipe. It’s so easy and the Mexican salmon is tender, moist, and perfectly cooked in just 10 minutes on the grill. I used my outdoor grill so I don’t have to heat up my house during these warm summer days, but you can bake the salmon foil packets if you don’t have a grill....

Sometimes I like to reinvent the wheel. Why buy it when I can make it. From homemade Peanut Butter to homemade Baileys Irish Cream, enter homemade graham crackers. I grew up eating so many graham crackers and loved them. In today’s world, full of spiced Biscoff cookies and Double Stuffed Oreos, it seems the humble graham cracker may have a hard time competing. Well, game on because these crispy, crunchy, cinnamon-infused crackers hold their own....

Don’t you hate it when you find a recipe you want to try, but you’re missing one of the ingredients? Who wants to run to the store for just one ingredient? So frustrating! The great news is, that many times the item can be made from scratch! It tastes better that way, and usually you’d be surprised how easy it is! Like my homemade substitute for canned “cream of anything” soup....
