Dig into more of my favorite casserole recipes like Stuffed Pepper Casserole, Chicken Noodle Casserole and Cheeseburger Casserole! Taco Casserole is one of my family’s favorite dinners! This is a classic that gets requested in my house at least once a month, but usually more. I’ve been making variations of this casserole for years. The version you see today is my masterpiece! I’ve tried it with all kinds of ingredients you so you don’t have to....

I was born to fry. This graham cracker fried chicken is for those of you that drench your fried chicken in honey, and sop up the excess with a biscuit. I’m so with you. I like a little sweet on my salty fried food, too! I wish I could say I invented graham cracker fried chicken, but all the glory goes to chef Michael Romano. My recipe isn’t anywhere close to his, but entirely inspired by him....

Baked pastas are one of my favorite prep-ahead meals! They might take a little more time to cook but most of that time is hands off, and they can be stashed in the fridge for days before serving. This Baked Ravioli, Baked Spaghetti, and now this Baked Mac and Cheese are favorites around here! This Healthier Baked Mac and Cheese is a lightened up, but just as creamy, homemade mac and cheese....

I need to know: are you an inside-of-the-ice-cream-pail person or an outside-of-the-ice-cream-pail person? Don’t laugh – this is important. I am – 100% — an outside-of-the-ice-cream-pail person. When the ice cream has been sitting out for a good 10-15 minutes and the edges start to get all soft and extra creamy? That’s the best part. I remember from when we were children, having this conversation with my aunt and some of my cousins....

I don’t want to admit it’s taken me until now to jump on the Cold Brew Coffee train, considering how much I love my coffee. The thing is, I didn’t really understand the allure. Whyyyyy did I need to start making my coffee a different way? I had a perfectly find coffee maker. If we had leftover coffee, I’d stick it in the fridge to make myself an iced coffee later....

I use the Instant Pot mini 3-quart model for all of my pressure cooker recipes. This recipe can be doubled and made in the Instant Pot 6-quart model, too. There are two things you should know about my Mom. One, she makes the best chicken soup on the planet. Two, she has an unopened Instant Pot just sitting in the box in her pantry. It’s been over a year, and she won’t touch it....

I live in a city much too big to frequent the same place for brunch more than once. Yet, I do. Brunch can have an intimidating number of menu choices–am I going to have champagne and the sweetest thing on the menu, or am I going to have a Bloody Mary and something savory with eggs? Most often, I chose the savory route. My life has, um, a lot of desserts in it....

Using stevia on the keto diet: I’m of firm belief that the success of any diet, whether optional or not, is a good plan. It’s the same way with dinner for my family during the week. If I don’t make a plan, we end up having soup and grilled cheese. Yes it’s still delicious, but it does nothing to make a dent in the 10 pounds of frozen meat I have in my freezer....

If there ever was a drink that was the epitome of sweater weather, it’s the London fog tea latte. While sipping on this beverage, you will hear dried fall leaves crunching under your feet and a crackling fireplace in the distance. It tastes like a hug on the first crisp Fall after a long hot summer. Make this on your first cool weather day, and you will fall in love!...

I think I speak for most of you, cream cheese frosting is the best thing that ever happened to the world of cakes (other than ofcourse a rich dark chocolate frosting) I felt like, cream cheese would be the perfect partner to pair with this caramel-ish tasting cake and would make it an over all not so sweet, dessert. Steps to make the cookie butter cake So here’s a picture showing you all the ingredients roughly....

Does anyone else think that apple crisp is maybe the best fall dessert ever? I know I love a warm bowl of apple crisp on a cool, crisp day. But you know what I also now love on a cool, crisp day? One of these Maple Glazed Apple Crisp Cinnamon Buns. This cinnamon bun recipe could not be easier or more perfect for fall. These buns are rolled up with a sweet apple filling, topped with a perfect crisp topping, and drizzled with a sweet glaze....

Love mint and chocolate? Try this No Bake Mint Chocolate Cheesecake, No Bake Peppermint Bark Cheesecake, and Chocolate Mint Cookies next! I know there are people who disagree, but I think mint and chocolate is one of the best combinations! I love how mint cuts through a bit of the richness of chocolate, although it enables me to eat waaaaaay too much of these brownies. And if you’ve been around here a while, you know my feelings on any dessert with cream cheese, so here we are: Mint Cream Cheese Brownies....

These Peanut Butter Banana Cookies, as a snack, is a healthy one that I feel great handing to my kids before we run outside to play after school. These peanut butter banana oatmeal cookies are soft, chewy, sweet and full of bites of chocolate....

School is back in session which means we need all the easy recipes! This Pizza Toast is a favorite here — our kids especially love it because they can all make their own and add their own toppings. One of my favorite hacks is starting out with store bought garlic bread. It makes these pizza toasts super quick and adds lots of flavor to the base! I also love that these little toasts have it all: carbs, grains, protein, dairy and veggies — if you can convince the kids to put them on there 😉....

PIN THIS RECIPE FOR LATER By now, I think you know how deep my love for baked oatmeal runs. And I know that a lot of you feel the same way, because these 4 Ingredient Baked Oatmeal Cups and these Banana Chocolate Chip Baked Oatmeal Cups (both low calorie and high in fiber and protein!) have gone positively wild on Facebook, with 2-6 million views each. There are just so many reasons to love them: they freeze perfectly, reheat perfectly, they can be eaten as muffins on the go or warmed up with milk in a bowl....

Welcome to February! February is for lovers, and I’m so happy it’s finally here! Valentine’s Day is a big deal around these parts, and I’ve got loads of cute desserts for two to share with you this year. First up: this spicy cinnamon apple cake. I made a cinnamon cake in a 6" round cake pan, sliced it in half, and spread it with cinnamon buttercream. I left the edges of the cake bare, but you can frost the edges if you wish....

This recipe was posted first on The Recipe Critic. I know, I know. You’re not surprised. This summer, so far, we’ve added this Crockpot Blackberry Cobbler, this Blueberry Cobbler, Rhubarb Crisp, and Cherry Cobbler to the archives here at The Recipe Rebel. Obviously, it was time for this Slow Cooker Peach Cobbler to make an appearance! Really, you can swap the fruit out on any of these cobbler recipes and come up with a creation all your own....

Once my daughter named her elf on the shelf ‘Snowflake,’ I knew these cookies had to happen. Luckily, they’re so easy to make, and kids love decorating them! This recipe is also my contribution to The Sweetest Season, which is the annual holiday cookie week that aims to raise funds for Cookies for Kids’ Cancer. Here is the fundraising page if you like to donate. You can make the snowflake cookies super fancy and ornate, or you can simply make lines with a white frosting....
