Does anyone else feel like we just accidentally skipped right over summer and are back to late night lunch packing and early morning bus rides? We are lucky in that our kids are the last on the bus, which means a pick up of 8:30 instead of potentially much earlier, but with the husband working long hours these days it is still sometimes a struggle to get out of the house on time!...

Have you seen my pumpkin ebook for 25 pumpkin recipe that aren’t pie and 1 that is? I think you would love it. Healthy pumpkin muffins without eggs: You, me and a muffin pan are doing big things these days, aren’t we? I’m half-considering starting a separate blog called ‘Small Batch Vegan’ because I’m having so much fun developing these vegan recipes for you! When I want to eat dessert but feel a little less guilty about it, a vegan one does the trick....

Meal prepping doesn’t have to mean boring! Here are tips, guidance, and bold and delicious recipes to kick your meal planning into high gear. What is a Freezer Meal? Freezer meals are just what the name suggests! These meals are made ahead and stored in the freezer for reheating at a later time. The ingredients in freezer meals are often fresh and hearty, and hold up well when frozen: meats like beef and chicken, cruciferous veggies like broccoli and brussels sprouts, and robust carbs like rice, pasta, and beans....

It’s no secret that we love oatmeal around here, and although I have lots of recipes for baked oatmeal, this is my first stove top and microwave oatmeal recipe! Now that the days are officially COLD, I’m craving all kinds of warm, hearty breakfasts, and I love that this oatmeal is easy to make ahead in big batches, then refrigerate for the week (because with 3 kids 6 and under, I don’t always get a lot of time to make breakfast before my daughter has to be out the door to school!...

Baby’s First Birthday Cupcake I said I wasn’t going to be ’that Mom.' That Mom that makes her kid a naturally-sweetened first birthday cake. Ugh. I kinda hate myself for this, except…these maple syrup sweetened cupcakes are DELICIOUS. You won’t even notice they’re not ’normal’ cupcakes or cake…you’ll just notice the deep maple flavor. Even the raw batter is lick-able. I like to think of them as ‘better for baby’ babycakes....

This easy risotto recipe is perfectly cooked, deliciously creamy, and is a great accompaniment to just about any main dish. I first saw this oven-baked risotto recipe in A Cook’s Guide by Donna Hay. It went straight to the top of my to-do list of things to try from that book! Most recipes I’ve seen for risotto have been made in the traditional way on the stovetop, and they can require a lot of work....

It was a big day here on The Recipe Rebel the day these first appeared: my first successful batch of baked donuts. I have no idea why it took me so long to get on board. I first posted this recipe more than TWO years ago (what?!?) but it needed a little love and a new recipe video, and — well — I needed another batch of these doughnuts. I received a doughnut/donut pan way too long ago for Christmas....

February here in Manitoba always feels like the longest month of the year (as ironic as that is!). It’s usually cold, and it’s been cold for a while. We’re expecting probably another two months of snow, so summer is a long ways off, and there aren’t any big holidays we’re looking forward to. Easy, hearty meals like this Baked Ziti with Italian Turkey Sausage are the ones that keep us going!...

Lemon and blueberries is one of my favorite combinations, but I crave it even more once the sun starts bringing some heat and Spring is on the way! The freshness of lemon is one flavor we love in all forms! Some of our other favorites? Lemon Blueberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake, No Bake Lemon Cheesecake, and this Baked Lemon Blueberry Doughnuts. The Blueberry Lemon Bread is made extra special with a decadent cream cheese swirl and a tangy lemon glaze....

So quite a while back, in the summer, I polled my Facebook group (I’d love for you to join!) about their favorite dessert flavor combinations. And even though it was the middle of summer, apple cinnamon was easily number 1. I was a little flabbergasted! I absolutely expected chocolate to be #1, and if not chocolate then for sure lemon, right? But I love the feedback I get there and so I’ve definitely been planning for some more apple cinnamon recipes this fall....

So, I’m hanging at my parents house in Texas this week, in case you missed my dramatic annoucement on instagram. Long story short: my kid is sick for the first time, and when I walked in Urgent Care, the ‘first time Mom’ alarms went off. I thought for sure that in the battle of breastfeeding versus daycare, we would win. We definitely lost. A big loss—a double ear infection loss....

Thank you for supporting the brands that make The Recipe Rebel possible! The smell of this Chicken and Stuffing Casserole wafting from the oven brings the family to the table fast....

Chocolate ginger cookies A few years ago, in graduate school, I fell in love with a bar of chocolate from Whole Foods that contained little bits of crystallized ginger. My Mom would come visit me in California, and I would always buy this chocolate bar for us to nibble on after dinner or with wine. My love for a sweet silky-smooth chocolate bar with bites of spicy-sweet ginger is huge....

When I was growing up, I used to watch my Mom bake Christmas gifts for her friends. She would put together a treat basket that included a loaf of gingerbread, a slab of homemade fudge, haystacks (delicious butterscotch candy that I’ll share soon), and a loaf of this cranberry apricot bread. I think she included this bread because all of the other goodies are brown and this colorful loaf brightened up the whole basket....

It’s part cookie, part rich dessert, and you’re going to love them! These creme brulee cookies are so impressive on a cookie tray, but no one has to know how easy they are to make! A basic sugar cookie recipe made with melted butter comes together in one bowl in just minutes. Then, use a box of instant pudding to make the custard topping. Simply dip in sugar and torch with a culinary torch, and they’re ready to go!...

2019 is the year of the Instant Pot and the slow cooker around here, and this month I’ve been stocking up on easy, family-friendly, mostly-healthy dinner recipes to make getting dinner on the table more doable. This Crock Pot Mac and Cheese is not totally hands off, but it’s a dump and go crockpot recipe that only requires a little stir here and there, so I’m adding it to my list of “doable dinners”....

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I always feel like summer has officially started when I make this recipe for Broccoli Salad for my family. I know, I know, traditional summertime meals are generally cooked on the grill. But for us, the warm weather calls for a cold summer salad in the fridge — one that can be pulled out at a moment’s notice and used as a way to round out multiple meals and complement whatever we’ve got grilling!...

This is our favorite homemade enchilada sauce recipe, and it’s way better than the canned stuff! We make all sorts of enchiladas around here. We love beef enchiladas but sometimes make them with pulled pork or shredded chicken too (like these tasty Easy Chicken Enchiladas!). Whatever meat or filling you choose, you can’t beat a homemade sauce made with basic pantry staples. This is a bit different from other from-scratch recipes as there is no cooking involved at all....

Love chocolate and peanut butter together? Try this No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Pinwheels, this Puppy Chow or this Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie next! I could start this post off by confessing how many of these Peanut Butter Balls I ate in one sitting, but why embarrass myself like that? It’s no secret that peanut butter and chocolate is our kryptonite here, for all 5 of us! It’s a combination we just can’t resist....
