I hope you guys aren’t tired of cranberry recipes (Cranberry Cake with Caramel Sauce or White Chocolate Cranberry Cupcakes anyone?). I’m not sure what it is, but I just can’t get enough cranberry once winter hits and Christmas is coming. Maybe it’s that vibrant red color that makes everything seem a little more festive. I love how it works just as well with sweet and savory dishes, too. I’m a big fan of adding fruit and other sweet touches to my savory recipes to get that perfect balance of sweet and salty (and maybe spicy or sour)....

PIN IT FOR LATER I’m sure I’ve mentioned this before, but let’s just assume you don’t actually read anything I write and so I’m going to say it again. I’m a little bit weird when it comes to dips, dressings and sauces. I like ketchup. And barbecue sauce, sweet and sour sauce, Thai sweet chili sauce. Mild salsa. And really any kind of pasta sauce. But mayo? Ick. Salad dressings?...

See the step by step recipe video down in the recipe card. Summer is officially here, and between beach days, camping trips, bonfires, and all the late nights, I’ll be squeezing in a lot of this easy Frappe recipe to keep me going! I’ve been making these easy Frappes for many, many years now, and it’s given me time to fine tune our preferences! The good thing about this recipe is that it’s easy to adjust to your tastes, and use more or less coffee, more or less milk, and more or less sugar so that it is just the way you want it....

So, here’s something you’ve never cared to know but I’m going to tell you anyway: I don’t really drink pop. I quit drinking soda years back when I was in University and decided to make some big Lifestyle Changes — i.e., no cake for lunch, no pop, making healthier swaps in recipes. I still enjoy the odd Sprite, Fresca, or Cream Soda, but it’s a pretty rare occurence. Coke (or Pepsi — whatever you fancy), Root Beer, Dr Pepper, things like that I have never liked and never drank except when I was young and living at home and all my Mom had was Coke or Pepsi and you’re young so any pop is kind of a big deal....

It’s like your own personal birthday cake in a cup…that you don’t have to share at all. Funfetti and I have not always gotten along, to be honest. The only time I had it was when it was made with a cake mix, and I think the baker didn’t exactly follow the instructions on the box. Unless gritty sand cake was the goal? I know not. Anyway, I avoided the stuff for a long time....

It’s that time of year again when a good pot of Chicken Noodle Soup can heal (almost) all the things that ail you, and I had to share my favorite homemade soup with you to carry you through the next few months of chilly days!...

This recipe was originally posted on Spend With Pennies. I remember growing up (YES I’M GOING THERE), my youngest sister and I liked to experiment in the kitchen. Occasionally, our mother would give in to our desires and we would get a little crazy, making the things we know she’d never usually go for like these easy Funnel Cakes. We made these Funnel Cakes over and over, and I promise you — if a pair of adolescents can make these mostly without supervision and without burning themselves or the house down, you can, too!...

PIN THIS RECIPE FOR LATER It’s a BIG day here friends: this is the first seafood recipe of any kind on The Recipe Rebel. Have you noticed this gaping hole? I’m curious — how many times per week or month do you all eat seafood? For us, if I’m totally honest, it’s maybe once a month. But we’ve been working on changing that! We don’t mind seafood most of the time, but the way we eat it is pretty boring....

This post has been sponsored by Kroger and Tillamook. All thoughts, opinions, photos and recipe are my own. A few weeks ago, I had a ‘legenDAIRY’ weekend in Detroit, and I’m finally sharing all of the details! If you followed along on my instagram, you saw so much good food, good friends, good cocktails and good vibes. It was such a fun, refreshing weekend. The trip was actually a party to celebrate the expansion of Tillamook products in select Kroger stores nationwide....

In a world of chocolate, let’s give lemon equal love. I’ve never tried to hide that I will always choose a lemon dessert over a chocolate dessert, yet I still share so many chocolate desserts with you. My German chocolate cupcakes are absolutely for you; did I eat half the batch, though? Yes, absolutely. In a way, you can really trust my chocolate desserts because they have to be good enough for a lemon lover to like....

Today, is about revamping the cult classic Main course dish into an awesome Side dish, the Mac n cheese fry!

This Eclair Recipe is deliciously perfect These mini chocolate eclairs for two positively melt my heart. I want to dunk them in my coffee in the morning, snack on them in the afternoon, and eat them for dessert after dinner. The good news in that scenario is that this recipe only makes 6 mini two-bite eclairs. If you share these with someone you love, you’re almost guaranteed to not eat the whole batch yourself…almost....

Most of the time, I handle the recipe development for this site. I daydream at work, often with my hands in the dirt, about the sweet treats I’d like to scale down for you. But, sometimes, Mr. Dessert For Two has some pretty great ideas on his own. He spouted off his idea for oatmeal cookie dough bites, and I promptly made them the same day. Calm down—no raisins. I’m a raisin fan (am I the last one out there?...

When this Peanut Butter Cake is on the table, you know there’s something to celebrate. Four years ago (FOUR YEARS), I announced to family and friends that I’d started a little food blog. Two years ago, I resigned from my other dream job to blog full time. It has been a crazy ride, and I wish I could say that it’s all been uphill but, like any job, there are ups and downs and moments of extreme frustration....

They’re based on my small batch cinnamon rolls that are just plain cinnamon....

Have you seen my pumpkin ebook for 25 pumpkin recipe that aren’t pie and 1 that is? I think you would love it. If we’re going to do Fall right, we’re going to reach for a can of pumpkin. We’re also going to have a heavier hand with spices and cocoa powder in general, because it’s the season for baking and I couldn’t be happier! A note on working ’too hard' You guys probably know this, but…I work really hard....

The perfect S’mores Cookie I can’t think of anything more crowd pleasing than these cookies. It’s like the perfect chocolate chip cookie recipe got even better by including everyone’s favorite flavors.

So, here we are: the best cookies to ever come out of your kitchen....

So, I know you’ve all seen those super fun French Toast Roll Ups floating around the internet. If you haven’t, just don’t even bother looking. I had this great idea to make some S’mores French Toast Roll Ups and I actually wish I would have taken some pictures of my results. I kind of felt like a guest on the Pintester. I’m not even sure if she’s tackled French Toast Roll Ups, but if she hasn’t, that should probably be her next project....
