Summer Peach Cake Recipe This cake tastes like a big, soft, fluffy, peach muffin. But making a cake is so much easier than making individual muffins, and I’m all for ease. The cake is a spinoff of my Blueberry Muffin Cake. I loved that little cake so much, and when I noticed a countertop full of ripe peaches and nectarines, I knew I had to bake them into a cake....

These Peanut Butter Brownies are just as amazing as they look. I like to make them 1 day in advance because I think they taste even better after the brownies have had time to cool in the fridge. You just can’t beat the peanut butter/chocolate combo!

Easy Peanut Butter Cup Cookie Recipe It’s no secret that I really love peanut butter. I wrote a cookbook with over 100 peanut butter recipes included. These cookies have peanut butter incorporated 3 ways because you can never have too much peanut butter. As much as I don’t want to say that you can never have too many cookies, unfortunately sometimes, you can. I have no need for recipes that make 3 dozen cookies....

Even if it is a Monday which, in my previous life as a teacher, would have been a holiday, which, in my current life as a blogger, I now don’t have as a holiday because I have the world’s strictest boss ( –> myself). My boss is actually so strict that she requires me to eat a minimum five lettuce wraps for lunch every day....

Easiest Pizza Appetizer One of the most popular recipes on my site and Facebook over the past many years have been these Ham and Cheese Sliders. Between holiday parties, game day parties, or as an easy weeknight dinner option it’s not shocking why they’re popular.

They said it’s the best thing I’ve ever made in the history of my 14+ years blogging....

A pumpkin pie recipe … with cream cheese? Yes, really! This isn’t your ordinary (i.e. boring) pumpkin pie. Everything is better with cream cheese, and pumpkin pie is no exception. The pie is fast and easy to make even for those of us who rarely make pie. In all my years of blogging, pie is very under-represented because I usually don’t want to take the time, but this one is a cinch....

My panini maker is more than predictable. There’s usually a 100% chance that whatever comes off of that thing is going to be goldenbutterycrispy goodness.

And second of all, there are millions(?) of other very delicious cheeses in the world that would work, so just get creative....

Last night I didn’t roast a chicken, but I roasted some potatoes for Scott. Questions: Best Thing You’ve Done or Ate so Far this Weekend? I had a productive day at work, I ran errands Friday afternoon, and got my grocery shopping done for the weekend. I think. Hopefully I don’t suddenly remember I “need” something from the store.

Lucky Charms Cookies Recipe I am a sucker for ultra chewy cookies and if you are like me, you’re going to adore how soft and extra chewy these Lucky Charms cookies are with lightly crisped edges!

Are you down with this? comment icon 323 more comments It starts with zoodles (zucchini noodles) tossed with a thick and intensely deep spicy sesame peanut sauce that will then eventually get loaded up with crispy tofu that has been made crispy by just pan-frying it with the same spicy sesame peanut sauce, but waiting until those crispy browned bits appear in the pan / wondering if this is going to be weird / actually loving the texture of the browned bits in contrast with the tofu and sesame zoodles....
