Friends, I am a hard core scalloped potato addict. I’ve made Nacho Scalloped Potatoes. I’ve made Mexican Scalloped Potatoes. I’ve made Pepperoni Pizza Scalloped Potatoes. I’ve made Chicken Cordon Bleu Scalloped Potatoes. And I can’t believe I’ve never shared this recipe with you. These are the best scalloped potatoes. I try not to claim that every recipe I make is the best cookie/brownie/piece of chicken in the entire world, but every once in a while I just can’t help but use the B word....

This classic appetizer is ready in just 40 minutes! Looking for more holiday appetizers? Try these Air Fryer Chicken Wings, Buffalo Chicken Dip, or these Nacho Fries! This pigs in a blanket recipe is my completely homemade version of a classic! It’s made up of flavorful little smokies rolled up in buttery, flaky, golden-brown crescent rolls. It’s a guaranteed hit whether you’re serving it up for dinner for the kiddos, as an appetizer at a party, or as a snack!...

Because in this house of girls, we can never get enough sprinkles! These bars are chewy, full of vanilla flavor and topped with a simple frosting. I love baking cookies and bars because they are just as good the next day, or the next week, or the next month out of the freezer. They last better than any other baking, the texture doesn’t change, and you can make a huge batch and save for later, easily grabbing one or two at a time (or, if you’re me, 4 or 5)....

Greek Pasta Salad is one of my favorite pasta salad dishes, with plenty of fresh veggies, creamy Feta cheese, and an amazing homemade Greek salad dressing! I LOVE a good easy pasta salad recipe, sometimes you just can’t beat that combination of tender pasta, with crunchy vegetables. This is the best Greek pasta salad recipe as it’s so easy to make and has a couple of unique additions that we just love....

PIN THIS RECIPE FOR LATER Recipe posted first on The Recipe Critic. I wouldn’t be surprised if you didn’t yet know this, but I have big, BIG love for the baked pancake. They seem to not really be a big brunch thing around the holidays, not as big as the make ahead breakfasts anyway (like this french toast casserole or this baked overnight french toast or this breakfast casserole). But I don’t understand why....

Lemon and blueberry are one of my favorite fruit combinations., and this Lemon Blueberry Cake is one of my favorite ways to enjoy it! It’s fresh, flavorful, and a perfect balance of tangy and sweet. This three-tiered cake is great for any special occasion or celebration. Today’s occasion? The 9th Blog Birthday of The Recipe Rebel! It has been 9 years since I admitted to the world that I had started this blog — I had 10 whole recipes on it then....

This post is generously sponsored by Natural Delights Medjool Dates and I was compensated for my time in creating this recipe. Thank you for supporting the brands that make The Recipe Rebel possible! When I think back to all of the good times I’ve had in my life, one that stands out is the day I found out it was actually acceptable to eat dessert for breakfast. 😉 Cinnamon Buns Recipe, monkey bread, baked lemon blueberry donuts, cinnamon roll bites, and of course coffee cake!...

I’m in this stage of life right now called ‘kitchen renovation.’ It’s hell. Have you ever been here before? Everyday brings a new surprise (also known as a ‘set back’), and while I’m over here pulling my hair out and shaking my fists at the sky, Camille is just so happy to have contractors in her house to watch. Everything is so entertaining and exciting in her little eyes. She even has quite a thing for one of my contractors, and tells me that he’s building the kitchen just for her....

It’s been too many years that I’ve had this blog here and haven’t shared a Nanaimo Bar recipe, especially since Nanaimo Bars are one of my all time favorite Christmas desserts! I have this No Bake Nanaimo Bar Cheesecake, which if you ask me, is all of the incredibly parts of a classic Nanaimo Bar plus cheesecake, so it really doesn’t get any better. But sometimes you just need a smaller bite for a tray of goodies around the holidays, and you want a classic Canadian Nanaimo Bar....

Looking for more fresh pasta dishes? Try this Angel Hair Pasta with Boursin, Chicken Caesar Pasta Salad or this one pan Cavatappi pasta next! Now, maybe you all already know that I’m not a huge fan of raw vegetables. Roast them, throw them in a pot of soup or pasta sauce, and I’m good. But when they’re tossed in creamy Pasta Primavera? It’s one of my favorite ways to load up!...

What are Palmiers? These three-ingredient puff pastry cookies will knock your socks off. They take the best part about French pastries, the buttery, flaky crust (aka puff pastry), and coat it in sugar and bake until golden brown. We’re essentially making cookies from pastry crust, and it’s exactly as delicious as it sounds. The sugar on the bottom of palmiers caramelizes in the oven and gives the cookies a caramel flavor....

Ahhh, salmon. Salmon hangs over my head all the time. I know I should be eating more of it. Every article about healthy food on the internet touts its benefits. But really, I just want a cheeseburger. All the time. Just tonight, our sweet friends brought dinner to our house. She texted me this afternoon and asked me to pick something off the menu at one of our favorite local restaurants....

Living away from home, you don’t always have access to your favorite childhood cultural delicacies. For me, Rasmalai, Gajar ka halwa or Shahi Tukrey are all love letters from home, that I want to open, again and again. And when the craving hits….oh man. But, the lazy ass that I sit on, makes me find a shortcut recipe for all those cravings. But Exhibit A – This Rasamali recipe! To make this shortcut happen, I’ll admit I had to go through a painstakingly long journey, with tears, burst rasmalais, and failed experiments....

There aren’t many weeks when a large container of fresh ricotta doesn’t make it into my grocery cart. I’m a big-time ricotta lover. I make ricotta gnocchi, blueberry ricotta pancakes, ricotta toast with fresh tomato, and I even eat ricotta in a bowl with honey and fresh berries on top. Obsessed, I tell you. You would think two people would have a hard time finishing a tub of ricotta, but that’s not the case in my house!...

Enjoy more of the best baked pasta dinner recipes like Baked Mostaccioli Pasta, Baked Gnocchi with Sausage and Cheesy Baked Spaghetti. This rigatoni pasta bake is great for those nights when you’re seriously hungry and need to feed a small army! Tender bites of rigatoni pasta are served with a seasoned meat sauce that’ll make your mouth water all under a generous coating of cheesy goodness. This make-ahead, freezer-friendly baked rigatoni recipe is sure to be a regular in your menu rotation!...

I feel like I’m the queen of lazy cocktails. You can constantly find me using jam instead of simple syrup for a quick-fix cocktail. Let’s back up before the lip-stick smudged glass, wine ring stains on my counter, and spent citrus segments all happened. This drink was born from my laziest habit: the last pours of wine in the bottle. I no longer finish a bottle in one night (hallelujah!...

If you love simply spiced cookies, you’ll love these Chai Cookies Recipe and The Best Snickerdoodle Recipe too! These soft and chewy Molasses Cookies will always remind me of my Grandma — she always had an impressive cookie stash in her freezer for when we would stop by! Around Christmas, I always have to make a batch. I love the crisp coating that the sugar gives them as they bake!...

I once asked this question over on my Facebook page: fruit crisp or fruit pie? At first, I was a little alarmed at the amount of pie people popping up and taking over. But once I sent a shout out to all my crisp lovers they slowly came through for me. I am a crisp lover. I am not reeeeally a pie lover, unless it’s filled with chocolate or peanut butter or it’s on an Oreo crust or it’s in ice cream form....

I am so excited about this post! I’ve been thinking about doing this for a long time now but I put it off until back to school. September is the time of year everyone needs some great, quick and easy meals! I wanted to create this guide for you because the one pot pasta is my go-to pretty much any day of the week that I wasn’t thinking about making dinner until… yep, right about dinner time....

Today, I’m finally answering a request I’ve received from many of you over the years: can you please write toaster oven recipes? However, since I feel that this was a niche that didn’t serve absolutely everyone, I compiled my 10 best recipes into a downloadable ebook for those interested. Here is the link to purchase. My venture into toaster oven cooking was a natural one. I’ve often felt that if you’re cooking for two, there should be fewer dishes to clean up....
