Do you love dessert bar recipes? Try our Oreo Bars, Blondies, S’mores Bars, or Sugar Cookie Bars! This easy peanut butter bars recipe was shared by a family-friend when I was a little girl and it’s been our huge family favorite ever since! They are completely addicting and you will want to eat the entire pan by yourself. Consider that my warning 🙂 . How to Make Peanut Butter Bars: Make Batter: Cream together the butter, sugar and brown sugar....

comment icon 298 more comments These salmon burgers. They are just so extremely good. We’re talking crispy outsides, flaky insides, and a perfect golden color, not to mention lots of nutrition, THANK YOU SALMON. They are also easy to make and require (usually) minimal, if not zero, grocery shopping, assuming you keep a decently stocked pantry. I love, love, love these crispy pan-fried little guys. And as if the salmon burgers weren’t good enough already to eat on their own (which, um, they are), I need you to make this slaw to serve your salmon burgers in/on/around....

Air Fryer Parmesan Crusted Chicken Recipe I have another recipe for Air Fryer Breaded Crispy Chicken Breasts that has become a fast reader favorite. Today’s version is very similar but with the addition of zesty Italian seasoning, garlic, Panko bread crumbs, and grated Parmesan cheese to make a crave-worthy crispy exterior. Cheese makes everything better, right? Air fried chicken is awesome because you can make perfectly crispy chicken without the hassle of actually frying it and it’s not dry either....

Easy Recipe for Honey Mustard Chicken This is an easy weeknight dinner chicken skillet recipe made on the stove that’s guaranteed to be a family favorite! I have great Baked Honey Mustard Chicken and Grilled Honey Mustard Chicken Kabobs recipes as well. I’ve never met anyone, especially kids, who don’t love the combination of chicken with honey mustard. If you’re a sauce fan like myself, you won’t be able to resist this juicy, tender, saucy honey mustard chicken....

Easy Strawberry Poke Cake … with Jello! I’m a huge fan of poke cakes because they’re incredibly moist and tender. If you’re not familiar, poke cakes are cakes that have holes poked into them after baking and a sweet sauce is poured in, which both flavors the cake and keeps it squishy soft. No chance of a dry cake. Normally the sweet sauces that I’ve used in poke cakes are sweetened condensed milk, caramel sauce, and peanut butter....

Easy Fall Cocktail Recipe Apple cider is one of my favorite things about this time of year. And after trying this twist on the Moscow mule, I think you’ll agree that fall never tasted better. The apple cider mule is refreshing, zippy, and ginger and apples are such a perfect pairing. Serve your fall Moscow Mules in copper mugs if you have them. Otherwise a big glass will do!...

My husband loves potatoes in any form and thought he was eating French fries. Until I told him he just inhaled a plate of parsnips. What’s a parsnip, he asked? Good question. Parsnips are a root vegetable and they have more in common with carrots than with potatoes. Visually, parsnips resemble carrots and are those long, pointy vegetables with hash-marked skins that you’ve probably noticed them in the grocery store near the carrots, turnips, rutabagas, and fennel but may have dismissed them as a funny-looking blonder-hued carrot....

“If I was in charge of writing The Rules You Must Bake By, I think that all cookies, brownies, and bars all should have a slightly crispy edge with soft centers. And never be dry. Dry = not worth my chew And the pumpkin peanut butter oat bars deliver if held up to my self-created Rules You Must Bake By.” Bria suggested in her comment to me that I do a Baking Rules post, so I thought I’d take her up on it....

So I scampered off to the only store on the island that has an abundance of pink plastic children’s toys. And it is a gross place. It’s not air conditioned, it’s hot, there are industrial-sized fans blowing hot air, dust, and dirt everywhere. It’s the size of a Walmart, sprawling and disorganized, without a/c, and it’s crowded and dirty. You get the picture. But it’s the only game in town with toys....

Yep. TIS THE SEASON. This week it will be Thanksgiving. That is… a lot of things. As you might remember from the Holiday Survival Guide for Sad People, the holidays are complicated for me this year. And as such, I am 100% dead set on maintaining a low-key holiday presence. Christmas shopping from the couch, under a blanket, in my pajamas, with every type of holiday candle burning in a relaxing, introvert-friendly Christmas shopping shrine around me is exactly how I’m imagining this going down....

Brown Butter Sea Salt Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe I have dozens of chocolate chip cookie recipes on my site. After 9 years, it’s bound to happen because I like to keep trying out new recipes. These brown butter chocolate chip cookies are not new entirely, but rather are adapted from these Halloween M&M’s Chocolate Chip Cookies that I then adapted to make Sea Salt Browned Butter Chocolate Chip Pecan Cookies....

This strawberry oat bar recipe is an easy, one bowl, no mixer recipe that takes just minutes to make. The crust and oatmeal crumble topping are one and the same. I love recipes like this so there’s one less step and one less bowl to wash! These strawberry bars aren’t overly sweet and the strawberry flavor shines beautifully, which is why they’re great for a grab-and-go breakfast, brunch, snacks, or a healthier dessert....

I like my smoothies sweet, rich, and thick. If you’re looking for a way to make something that tastes like drinkable pumpkin pie filling, then this is the hot ticket. It incorporates what I think are the “good parts” of pumpkin pie: the filling and the whipped topping Minus the boring part: the pie crust I find pumpkin pie crusts tend to be so lackluster and bland unless they happen to be made with graham cracker crumbs (or almond flour + lots of agave which is how I make my Pumpkin Pie (no-bake, Vegan, GF) but I digress....

Why I love this chicken bowl: Flavorful – The combination of the jerk seasoning, the homemade pineapple sauce, and the mango are so wonderful it will transport you to the Caribbean! Healthy – I am always a fan of all-in-one bowls like this Jerk Chicken Bowl that incorporate a protein, rice or pasta, and veggies for a complete meal! Check out more of my favorites at the end of the post....

…the chocolate covered potato chips were kinda amazing tasting. I actually may recreate these at home. I don’t necessarily need to dip the entire chip into chocolate. A drizzle would probably suffice. The sample was so tasty I didn’t even buy a bag. Which I could have likely devoured in 37 seconds. Yeah, that good. And Pumpkin Butter is so good too. You can buy online if you don’t have a TJ’s in your area or just google for recipes and make it at home....

I first shared this recipe several years ago–it was one of the first I ever posted on this blog! Even though it’s still beloved by my family, it was so far back in my blog archives it was almost lost forever! I’ve updated the recipe and photos and hopefully it gets some new love and attention because it definitely deserves it! I like to use a rotisserie chicken in this recipe, mostly because I’m lazy and I love the flavor it adds....

Easy Chicken Satay Skewers This fast and easy grilled Thai chicken satay with peanut sauce is so tender, juicy, and full of layers of flavors thanks to the marinade. There’s coconut milk, garlic, lime juice, soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, turmeric, cumin, coriander, and ginger. Peanut satay sauce makes everything taste even better, including these Thai chicken satay skewers! I have quite the collection of peanut sauce recipes, which just goes to show how well this easy peanut sauce pairs with most anything....

Healthy Taco Lettuce Wraps Recipe Lettuce wraps at PF Chang’s are so good. They’re a favorite for my family and a must-order item. Since I love Mexican food, I worked some Mexican flair into what’s normally an Asian dish. Soft butter lettuce (you could also use romaine) cradles taco-seasoned chicken, juicy tomatoes and corn, crisp bell peppers, and cheese. The wraps are topped with bright cilantro and seasoned tortilla chips. There’s so much flavor and texture in every bite....

Big, bossy flavor, incredibly satisfying, and takes exactly 15 minutes to make! I love this recipe!
