If you ask me, chicken and noodles is one of life’s greatest comfort foods. Tender, shredded chicken coated in gravy and served over chewy egg noodles? It’s like the weeknight version of the ultimate chicken dinner. This Instant Pot Chicken and Noodles Recipe is one of my favorite versions of the classic meal. It’s made with 6 ingredients, comes together in just one pot, and requires minimal hands on time....

Serve this turkey breast with homemade gravy using the leftover cooking liquid! Got leftover turkey? Try this Leftover Turkey Soup or this Turkey Noodle Soup! There are plenty of ways to enjoy turkey every day, but we always crave it around the holidays! Turkey pot pie, turkey chili mac and cheese, turkey burgers, and turkey noodle soup are some of our year-round favorites, but this Instant Pot Turkey Breast is one we have to have around Thanksgiving and Christmas....

I love stocking the fridge with the essentials to make meals easy for a busy weeknight! Ever since I started experimenting to perfect my Slow Cooker Chicken Breast recipe, I knew there needed to be a pressure cooker version. And this right here? This is the perfect Instant Pot Chicken Breast. I’m bringing my one secret ingredient over from my slow cooker chicken recipe, and let me tell you — it makes all the difference!...

Love a no bake cheesecake? Try my classic Easy Cheesecake recipe, or this No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheesecake for a delicious twist! Peanut butter and chocolate is a favorite dessert combo around here, and this No Bake Peanut Butter Cup Cheesecake is one seriously decadent way to enjoy them together! With a chocolate oreo crust, chopped peanut butter cups, a rich and creamy chocolate peanut butter filling, and topped with whipped cream and more peanut butter cups, it’s a decadent treat for the peanut butter lovers in your lives!...

I’m not sure why we haven’t ventured into snack cake land here on Dessert for Two before. Sure, we have tons of small cakes for two made in a 6” pan (and a small carrot cake made in a 8” pan), but those cakes are really too fancy to be called a ‘snack cake.’ A snack cake is something that you can easily make (usually doesn’t require frosting, or if it does, the recipe is super simple), and is perfectly acceptable to eat any time of day—breakfast, snack, or dessert....

I know this sounds a little crazy, but trust me on this one: BBQ sauce and pasta are an awesome combination! When I first created this recipe back in 2017, it was an original idea! You just didn’t see BBQ sauce in pasta as you do now. I mean, I’ve always been firmly in the camp of people who put barbecue sauce in everything, so it was never a stretch for us....

See the step by step video down in the recipe card. This post has been generously sponsored by Dairy Farmers of Manitoba and I was compensated for my time in creating this recipe. Thank you for supporting our local dairy farmers! Summer is here and we have been enjoying our favourite basic milkshake recipe for months now, but it was time to mix things up! This Oreo Milkshake will be on repeat here until the end of summer....

Things are awkward around here. It’s the holidays. You want large desserts that feed your extended family. I just don’t do that sort of thing. The other day, I made a full-size batch of chocolate chip cookies instead of my usual small batch chocolate chip cookies. I feel like I spent the entire afternoon shoving cookie tray after cookie tray in and out of the oven. My entire day was gone....

Bold ingredients like soy sauce, honey and ginger come together to create the very best teriyaki sauce....

Are y’all ready for another Valentine’s Day dessert? I sure hope so. Please, let us not go into the fact that I’m makin’ whoopie pies for the day on which most couples will be makin’ whoopie. Please. I beg you. If you must make such a joke, please direct it at the lovely ladies over at Like Mother, Like Daughters because they requested these little cakes in my last post....

Rhubarb and strawberries are some of the first fruits to pop up in the Spring, and this is one of my favorite things to do with them! These milkshakes are all of my favorite things in one: sweet, creamy, and thick with just enough tang to cut some of the sweetness. For all of my tips and tricks on making the perfect milkshake, check out this post on How to Make a Milkshake....

As we journey further into homemade takeout, we’re going to pause and reflect on the marvels of our freezer. On its best day, it’s packed with bread waiting to be defrosted, assorted vegetables and fruit, and peeled and de-veined shrimp. Oh, the things I can do with a bag of frozen shrimp in my possession! As you know, my toddler is not actually a child, she’s a Princess who has renamed herself Princess Elsa Rainbow Unicorn (I wish I was making this stuff up)....

Serve over cooked rice, quinoa, or even cauliflower rice! At our house, we love Asian food. But I’ll be the first to admit that I’m no expert in Asian cooking. Which is why I’m sharing my good friend Kelly’s recipe from her cookbook, “The Asian Slow Cooker.” I’ll be honest, there are so many amazing recipes in this cookbook that I had a hard time choosing which to share. But this Slow Cooker Mongolian Beef with Pineapple was calling to me....

Looking for more stovetop chicken breast recipes? Try my Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breast or this crispy Parmesan Crusted Chicken Breast next! I love finding new ways to make chicken because it’s so versatile! The trick is finding the right combination of flavors to get a juicy and delicious meal. This is one of the best stuffed chicken breast recipes I have made, and it’s easy to customize too. It’s quick enough to put together on a busy weeknight, but it looks and tastes fantastic too!...

Please excuse my lack of self-control while I share all the strawberry recipes with you all at once. I can’t keep these recipes to myself! The strawberries are talking to me at this point. They like to be soaked in gin, they say. There are a lot of flavors that go well with strawberries, but my favorite is rose water. (Second to gin, of course) Rose water tastes like, um, roses....

I’ve been re-living a cringe moment in my head the last few days. I don’t know what brings these old memories back to the surface, but when it happens, it takes days to shake it off. When I was in college, I taught yoga classes. The yoga classes were part of a general fitness program on campus that students could attend at the gym. Every semester, we held a promotional event where each teacher taught a quick 5-minute segment to introduce their class....

So, I was talking to my friend Corey the other day, and we agreed that this whole ‘Single Awareness Day’ thing is sad. Yeah, not having a significant other can suck at times, but we just don’t think that’s the way you should look at it. We think Valentine’s Day should be a celebration of love. Love for everyone in your life—girlfriends, boyfriends, friends, family, dogs, cats, lizards, everyone! I’ve been single more times than not during Valentine’s Day in my life, so I’ve always celebrated ‘Gal-entines Day’ with my girlfriends....

I’ve been making them ever since. They are the only large-batch recipe on this site. Wait, this coconut pumpkin pie is a full-size pie, but 2 out of 500 recipes means they’re something special. They are the one dessert that I allow myself to eat with abandon. I refuse to believe they’re bad for me. Yes, they have sugar, but ⅓ cup for 14 mini cookies. I can handle that....

PIN THIS RECIPE FOR LATER Happy weekend friends! I am so, so excited to be sharing this recipe with you today. This Key Lime Pie recipe (nearly no bake!) is from the cookbook All The Sweet Things by Renée Kohlman of the blog Sweetsugarbean. Is it strange that I have never actually made a key lime pie, in spite of my infatuation with citrus? As soon as I saw the recipe I knew it had to happen, and I love that it’s a less finicky version (no eggs, no baking the filling)....

We love, love, love this recipe. I wish I could remember where I found this recipe…. possibly in a Taste of Home magazine that I stole from my mom. We have been enjoying this recipe for years, whenever we have some ham kicking around and need a super kick and flavorful meal! (Which is often when you have a 2 and a 4 year old in the house, tugging at your leg and not so patiently awaiting their lunch....
