PIN THIS RECIPE FOR LATER When there is chocolate on the table for breakfast, no one complains around here. These Easy Chocolate Crepes? Always a breakfast win! I first shared these Chocolate Crepes on The Recipe Critic — check her out for more incredible recipe ideas! What I love about crepes is how easy they are to make, and how well they reheat the next day (or the next day!...

If you’re looking for more game day dips, try my Cream Cheese Fruit Dip for something sweet, my Caramel Apple Dip for dessert and my Taco Dip for a dip that eats like a meal! Made with simple ingredients, this homemade Rotel Dip still packs a punch and is such a crowd pleaser! Rotel cheese dip recipe is unique because it does not include any Velveeta cheese at all (I promise you won’t miss it!...

I don’t know about you, but in our house, one of the best things about the holiday season is allllllll of the leftovers. Leftover ham, leftover turkey, leftover mashed potatoes, dinner rolls, roasted veggies, gravies and sauces, etc., etc., etc. I get giddy just thinking about it! Thanks to my deep freeze and some creativity, I take all of those extras and reinvent them into tons of delicious meals! No one ever suspects they’re still eating holiday leftovers well after the fact....

Need a more hands off approach? Try my Crockpot Stuffing! Stuffing is a must have at every holiday dinner! This Homemade Stuffing recipe is better than the box and just as easy to make. Onion, celery and apple add a ton of flavor (I promise the apple won’t make it sweet!), and you can customize the recipe to be softer or crispier depending on your preferences. It might be the only thing you want for Thanksgiving from here on out — followed closely by a big slice of Cream Cheese Pumpkin Pie, of course!...

Crispy, golden bacon is one of life’s greatest pleasures, is it not? I can remember the days before we figured out that cooking bacon in the oven is the way to go — you’ve got curled up slices of bacon, unevenly cooked, some crispy and black, some still a little flabby, and maybe a few that are perfectly golden. Well those days are gone, because oven baked bacon is here and I’m never going back!...

Have you ever had a pudding cake? A pudding cake is a cake recipe that magically transforms in the oven. The thin liquid cake batter separates into a sponge (or cake) on the bottom, a creamy middle layer, and a citrus curd on the top. Wait–flip the order of those ingredients, because the cake bakes in 4 ounces ramekins and then flips before serving. If you’re the type of person who gets nervous about flipping or unfolding cakes before serving, I totally feel you!...

We’ve been stuffing our faces with a scoop of my cinnamon ice cream smashed between my spicy chocolate cookies lately. I tried turning them into 2-bite cookies (by rolling them into ½” balls and decreasing the baking time) to help with portion control, but I can’t quite help but take a bite every time I walk by the freezer. I’m convinced the world is off-kilter when one lonely bite of a cookie remains uneaten....

I’m not really sure what to say here, except…I had a craving. A fierce mint chocolate craving. A pint of mint chocolate chip ice cream jumped into my grocery cart last week (on its own accord, I swear!), and it’s really just been one downhill, slippery slope ever since. And somewhere along the lines, I got tired of icy cold and wanted my craving to be warm and fluffy. So, I present these as evidence that I’ve been eating too many chocolate chips....

I know. It’s ridiculous, right? But I’ve had this idea in my head for so long and I just couldn’t get it out. I went through a nacho phase a while back (when I made these Nacho Scalloped Potatoes and this Creamy Nacho Potato Soup), and I came up with my own nacho seasoning. I was obsessed for a little while, and then I ran out of things to nacho....

If there are two things I love in this world, it’s lemon and cheesecake. Especially a light, airy, and just tangy enough No Bake Lemon Cheesecake like this one! As a kid, I didn’t enjoy citrus or lemon desserts very much at all. It seemed wrong that they just weren’t that sweet! Now that I’m older (more experienced and more mature, I’d like to think 😉 ), my tastes have changed and I much prefer a tangy lemon dessert with the right amount of sweetness over some sugar-laden cake with several inches of frosting....

PIN THIS RECIPE FOR LATER Recipe first posted on The Recipe Critic. I know there are all sorts of awesome things about summer — sunshine, strawberries, beaches, cold drinks, ice cream, grilled everything…. but you know? I think s’mores are one of my favorites. I just can’t think of a much better combination than melty chocolate and marshmallow, and the graham cracker adds the perfect crunch. But sometimes there’s no campfire, and then what?...

Recipe first posted on Spend with Pennies. I know you’re no stranger to this, but easy crockpot meals are just the way we do life here. In the summer, when life is crazy and the oven heats up the house too much. In the winter, when we love how the smell and coziness of a slow cooker dinner cooking away all day. On a busy weeknight, when you have 5 minutes to throw something in the slow cooker before the kids burst in the door, or during the baby’s nap time, or for your family on your way out of the house for the night shift....

PIN THIS RECIPE FOR LATER Recipe posted first on The Recipe Critic. I don’t know if you can understand how much I love meatballs. Seriously, you guys — they’re right up there as one of my favorite dinners. Pineapple Brown Sugar Meatballs or spaghetti and meatballs or sweet and sour meatballs, I’ll take them all. With rice, noodles, or mashed potatoes, it doesn’t even matter. Just pass me the bowl and nobody gets hurt....

Tender, scone-like little cookies, chock full of fresh strawberries may just be my favorite cookie. It’s not that I don’t love a good, chewy flourless chocolate cookie when I’m craving something rich, but when the weather starts to warm, it’s all about the fruit for me! My love of scones is well-documented (with my lemon scones and my chocolate chip scones), and the reason I love scones so much is the cream in the dough....

See the step by step recipe video down in the recipe card. Got leftovers? See all the ways to reheat pizza or how to reheat pizza in the air fryer here! Taco Pizza It’s pizza month on The Recipe Rebel and we couldn’t be more excited! We started off with a recap of this Quick and Easy Pizza Dough, then these Pizza Rolls that our kids have been loving for lunch boxes!...

This Turkey Alfredo Stromboli, friends — it’s a good one! It’s got the perfect combination of easy, hearty and comforting for those chilly days we all know are ahead for quite some time yet (especially if you’re in Manitoba like we are!). It has so many of my favorite things: tender, shredded turkey — perfect for holiday leftovers or easy to cook up on a weeknight! rich, creamy homemade Alfredo sauce cheese, cheese and more cheese a golden roll of pizza dough holding it all together for one delicious bite...

I know sometimes, from Halloween on, it might be hard to dig ourselves out of our holiday brains to think about getting dinner on the table. When really all I want is to bake cookies and sip hot chocolate, I turn to easy, healthy dinner recipes like this Chicken and Rice Bake to keep us fed. It has just 7 ingredients, and one of them is salt so that doesn’t even really count, right?...

I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I may have mentioned a time or two how deep my love of a warm, gooey dessert runs. This Apple Upside Down Cake? It’s warm, cozy dessert perfection. My first love? My Grandma’s Hot Fudge Sundae Cake. But then things got a little crazy and I added this Pumpkin Pudding Cake, Red Velevet Pudding Cake, Caramel Apple Pudding Cake, Slow Cooker Cranberry Apple Cobbler, and Slow Cooker Berry Cobbler to the list....

Breakfast tacos are a decidedly Texan way to start the day. My Mom makes the best potato, bacon and egg breakfast tacos with roasted tomato salsa on the side for dipping. As I was devouring her spicy tacos the other morning before catching my flight home, I started to think about how delicious a sweet breakfast taco would be. The banana Nutella taco was born. It was pretty tasty on its own, but I decided to roll it up into a burrito and deep fry it....

It took me a few tries, friends, but I think I’ve traded in my favourite banana muffins for these Banana Oatmeal Muffins. They are so moist, and packed with extra goodness from oatmeal. Yes — actual oatmeal. I know it sounds a little crazy, but trust me on this one. What makes these Banana Oatmeal Muffins so good? If you’ve ever had a classic oatmeal cake, you know they’re all sorts of amazing....
