This is the BEST Frozen Lasagna I’ve had a big problem in my life for a long time, and I couldn’t go any longer without fixing it. My mom makes the best lasagna–I’m sure your mom does, too. In fact, my mom’s lasagna is the only way my daughter will eat meat. I’m not sure if she actually knows it contains meat, but please, no one ruin this for me! Anyway, like your mom’s lasagna, my mom’s recipe makes a giant 9x13" pan....

Let’s make a deal. For every naughty treat I post, I’ll post a nice one, ok? I might have made you Gooey Butter Cake Cookies that will single-handedly be responsible for some holiday weight gain, but then I made you Chocolate Peppermint Mousse with Greek yogurt as an apology. My apology for those Candy Cane Cookies that you will probably steal from Santa is these popcorn balls. Popcorn balls are a little old fashioned, yes, but we need to bring them back....

I really didn’t mean to cancel all other cookie recipes in our life. I’ve been happily making my small batch chocolate chip cookies for nearly 12 years. Everyone loves them, my entire family included. In fact, my mom texts me a photo of her weekly batch, even still. But then, I heard about something called chocolate chipper cookies. Naturally, I assumed it was a typo, and moved on with my life....

Umm, you had to know this was coming. The minute I think about croissants, my mind floats to chocolate croissants next. I restrained myself and shared plain croissants with you first, but these babies? They’re here to make sure your New Year’s resolution didn’t include giving up things that taste delicious. Because that would be dumb. Life is short! Eat the things that make you smile (but in moderation…like small servings, ya know?...

If there’s any meal that brings everyone to the table in record speed, it’s these crispy little turkey nuggets! There’s so much to love about them: They are perfectly seasoned: savory, a bit salty, and a hint of spice. A boneless turkey breast filet makes these a cinch to whip up, and we love our turkey around here! They are a healthier option than those store-bought frozen nuggets, and the kids love them just as much (or more!...

Enjoy more of my favorite potato side dish recipes like Lyonnaise Potatoes, Creamy Garlic Mashed Potatoes and Crockpot Cheesy Potatoes. Is there anything more satisfying than a big serving of warm, cheesy slow cooker Scalloped Potatoes? I think not. This is one of those side dish recipes that tends to be even more popular than the main course! If you’re hosting a dinner party or heading to a potluck, be prepared to share this recipe – people will be asking for it....

See the step by step recipe video down in the recipe card. I confess, I haven’t always been making my own hamburger buns, and I still don’t if I am really in a pinch. We all need a break sometimes, right? But when I have a bit of extra time, this Brioche Bun is always the one I turn to! They are golden brown and have such a rich flavor (thanks to butter and eggs!...

These blondies are right on top my list of things to whip up for a quick brunch too btw. (other than the ever famous no-bake cheesecake or a chill creamy fruity custard). Basic brownie making steps So the first step in baking is always getting the oven on preheat. And lining your baking tray with parchment paper and an oil spray. I even sprinkle a little flour all over the baking tray to give my baked brownies a nice golden crust....

PIN THIS RECIPE FOR LATER One of my all time favorite Christmas combos, friends — mint chocolate! I actually don’t usually let myself maybe a bunch of Christmas candy because, well — I will usually eat all the Christmas candy. But this year I let myself go a little crazy. I love having treats to gift and these truffles are perfect because I can hide them from myself in the bottom of the freezer, and just take them out when I need a quick present for a neighbor or teacher or family friend....

Love veggie-loaded soups? Try this Roasted Red Pepper Soup, this Instant Pot Vegetable Soup or this Chicken Dumpling Soup next! This easy Roasted Tomato Soup was inspired by my first foray into gardening and is one of our favorite things to do with summer tomatoes so far! So I thought I was going to garden for the first time a few years ago. I bought a bunch of plants — random things that I’d never really had any desire to grow before — and I got some dirt (when you live in the sandy land like we do, this a thing you have to do), and I put them in it....

You can ask pretty much any member of our family whether they prefer turkey or ham on the holiday table, and it’s going to be ham every single time. Now, don’t get me wrong, we love our Roast Turkey, but there’s something about the tender, juicy texture and incredible flavor of this Spiral Ham with Apple Cider Glaze. This recipe takes just 15 minutes to prep and makes the perfect Easter ham, Thanksgiving ham, Christmas ham, Monday ham, Tuesday ham…Okay, you get it....

Fun little fact about me: I have a Master’s degree in agronomy. Specifically, I studied lettuce production in the Salinas Valley (in California). If that sounds boring to you, I can assure you that you haven’t driven down the road and seen alternating rows of bright green, vibrant purple, and dark green lettuce growing together side-by-side in neat little rows. The mix of salad in your salad bag is literally planted as a mix–as the rows are harvested next to each other, they are washed, mixed and bagged together....

Grandma’s Gingersnaps Recipe You’re looking at my absolute favorite Christmas cookie. I have zero willpower when a plate of these cookies are around! Gingersnaps are soft, chewy, and so full of spice! I have a theory that the intense spiciness is cooled only by the sweetness, which makes you crave cookie after cookie! Plus, the chewiness just keeps you going back for more. This recipe is my grandmother’s recipe, which is why it contains shortening....

A good recipe for Homemade BBQ Sauce is, in my opinion, the ultimate summer accessory. I know I’m being biased here, but I think this recipe makes the best barbecue sauce around — it’s sweet and tangy and rich and has the perfect amount of kick! Like any worthwhile condiment, this sauce can take an already impressive meal and make it even better. It can also elevate everyday ingredients, turning them into something truly special....

Honey Balsamic Pork Tenderloin is always a huge hit in my household! You really can’t beat juicy pork that’s tender and has the perfect balance of sweet and tangy flavors. It’s so versatile, you can serve this pork with rice, potatoes, or even buttered noodles, and any kind of vegetable, too. With just 15 minutes of prep time, this recipe is perfect for busy weeknights and feeds the entire family in less than an hour!...

File this under things you may not know about me: I am obsessed with Indian food. I once lived for 18 months in a place that lacked an Indian restaurant, and my tastebuds suffered. Luckily, I went to grad school at a place (UC Davis!) with an Indian restaurant right on campus. I also once dated an Indian guy for a long time, and he cooked me dinner exactly one time, but I can still remember every single bite of that meal....

We’re easing into the Instant Pot lifestyle over here. ( I use the Instant Pot Mini, of course!) I’m not one of those Instant Pot fanatics who makes absolutely everything in the Instant Pot. I bought it to make beans from scratch quickly, and that’s really all I intended to use it for. After I made a few pots of beans, I decided to branch out and try Instant Pot Chicken Broth....

My family can’t get enough of this Instant Pot Pulled Pork recipe. I don’t mean to brag — well, maybe just a little bit — but it’s one of our favorite Instant Pot recipes! What makes it such an amazing recipe? For starters, this dairy-free and gluten-free pulled pork recipe has a flavor that can’t be beat. The pork is cooked in a mixture of apple juice, brown sugar, and seasonings, giving it a sweet (but not too sweet) taste my kids love....

There are so many lasagna-inspired recipes we love! From this Classic Lasagna recipe and Skillet Lasagna, to Taco Lasagna, BBQ Chili Cheese Lasagna, you name it. But this Lasagna Soup? Well, it’s been touted by my kids as one of the best meals they’ve ever had....

This is the BEST lemon loaf I’ve made, and it’s such an easy recipe to follow! Filled with fresh lemon flavor, it’s got a great moist crumb and can be easily customized to suit your preference for sweet or tangy flavors. This loaf of lemon bread is even better than the Starbucks Lemon Loaf, and I don’t say that lightly! Just in case you aren’t aware, I LOVE lemons. They have such a unique, tangy flavor that cuts through the sweetness of traditional baked goods....
