My favorite dinner recipes are the ones that take little to no effort but that the whole family absolutely devours. This Creamy Tomato Rigatoni Pasta is one of those recipes! This pasta dinner is ready in 25 minutes, is made with incredibly simple ingredients, and comes together to create a deliciously rich, creamy, and flavorful meal! Serve your rigatoni pasta as a simple vegetarian entree with Roasted Green Beans or serve it as a side dish with some Baked Chicken Breast or Air Fryer Pork Tenderloin....

Check out more of my favorite quick bread recipes like Orange Cranberry Bread, Lemon Bread, Cinnamon Banana Bread and Coconut Bread with Cream Cheese Glaze. You may remember when everyone had a Banana Bread craze back in 2020. You know, when we were all stuck inside and collectively became avid bakers? Well, I never left my Banana Bread phase! After years of experimenting around and having plenty of fun taste tests, I’m finally ready to share the very best Banana Bread recipe....

Cozy up with more of my favorite chili recipes like Vegetarian Chili, Easy Crockpot White Chicken Chili, Instant Pot Chili and Slow Cooker Three Bean Beef Chili. This easy Crockpot Chili Recipe has it all! It’s hearty, flavorful and SO easy to make. What’s not to love? My kids are pretty obsessed with this chili (it’s all about the toppings for them!) and I love that I can sneak in so many vitamins and nutrients....

See the step by step recipe video down in the recipe card. This post is sponsored by Canola Eat Well and I was compensated for my time in creating this recipe. Thank you for supporting those that make The Recipe Rebel possible! Chili is one of our favorite meals, and we enjoy it in all seasons! On a burger or a hot dog (in a homemade hot dog bun, of course!...

PIN THIS RECIPE FOR LATER You guys: Meatballs in Orange Sauce are changing the dinner game. There are so many foods that I just love. That are borderline an obsession. Meatballs are just one. Surprisingly though, I don’t have that many meatball recipes on The Recipe Rebel. I have these Pineapple Brown Sugar Meatballs (<– amazing), aaaaaand….. yep. That’s about it. How sad is that? I think one of the reasons why is I have been focusing a lot on super easy, little prep, often one pot/pan/dish dinner recipes for those “what on Earth am I going to make for dinner?...

This is exactly what I want in a meal from about September until April. It’s thick, creamy, hearty, and goes perfectly with freshly baked bread. It’s even healthy. Not like kind-of-healthy, but really healthy. There’s just nothing bad in it. So I can eat my bowl of thick, creamy chowder and not even feel bad about it. What’s not to love? I don’t have a lot of experience cooking with quinoa....

While I love all fruity desserts, there’s something about pineapple desserts, particularly pineapple cakes, that are just so good! I’ve got Pineapple Upside-Down Cake, Pineapple Coconut Cake, Pineapple Lush Angel Food Cake Roll, Pineapple Crisp and now this classic Pineapple Cake! This recipe takes just 15 minutes to prepare, is ready in under an hour, and the result is a cake that’s incredibly moist, packed with sweet pineapple flavor, and loaded with crushed pineapple pieces for a little extra fruity flavor and texture....

A few weeks ago, I found my old recipe binder from my single girl days. In my mind, the recipe binder isn’t that old, but when I started looking through it, I realized it’s 10 years old. I created the binder when I was a single graduate student living in a shotgun-style house with a basement that flooded every winter in Davis, California. Back then, most food blogs didn’t exist, and so I turned to food magazines and Food Network to find recipes to cook....

This is a Tried and True recipe for Buttermilk Biscuits! Today, I’m updating this recipe with new photos since I photographed it in 2011, but I have to say–I never left this recipe. I’ve made it for years, and each time I pulled up the recipe on my own site, the overly yellow photos made me cringe. But, since I usually make this recipe in the early morning hours before my family wakes up, I never had enough natural light to re-photograph them....

First, promise me something: Promise me that you will not hide these frozen mocha brownie bites from your husband. Promise me that you won’t wrap them individually in plastic wrap and store them inside a bag of frozen asparagus in the back of the freezer. Because that would be selfish. And also, there’s a chance that after you sneak one and head back to the couch, you will have a tell-all chocolate stain on your lip, which might lead to questions from your husband, which might lead to an awkward confession....

Recipe first shared on Spend With Pennies. Surprise! We’re smack dab in the middle of January and I’m here with a luscious German Chocolate Cake recipe 😉 But sometimes I struggle with getting back to routine after the holidays, and cake always helps. Especially if it’s chocolate! I’m sharing tons of tips and tricks to make this your best German Chocolate Cake yet, including tips to make ahead and freeze, so be sure to skim through the post below to ensure success!...

This recipe has been sponsored by Chapman’s Ice Cream and I was compensated for my time spent creating this recipe. Thank you for supporting the brands that make The Recipe Rebel possible! Mint desserts are always a favorite here! In fact, I think mint chip tops my kids’ list of favourite ice cream flavours (so I knew this pie would be a hit!). Summer is the time for lazy days in the sun or busy days at the park or the beach, which means that no one has a lot of time or energy to put into prepping food....

So, the other day I was searching for just the right brand of graham crackers (there is only one correct one, you know), and I couldn’t help but notice that every single person in the cookie aisle grabbed a bag of Oreo Thins as they passed me. Literally, every single person. I’m starting to think they sprinkle crack on one side of the Oreo, because it seems people are obsessed!...

Yes, this cupcake icing is sticky, but it is so worth it! It has an unforgettable butter flavor that people won’t stop talking about. It’s the perfect blend of marshmallows and butter, and it belongs on almost everything. This recipe starts with a jar of marshmallow fluff, which is not the same as marshmallows, by the way! I can barely keep it in my pantry, because I love to use it in so many recipes....

The bright green color of this matcha cake means that I make this cake at Christmas time, since it’s so Grinch-like. I also think the red strawberries look so pretty next to the green cake crumb. However, this cake is also good in the springtime when you want something light and fresh. The pleasant earthiness and delicate grassiness of matcha is something I happen to love. If you like my matcha tiramisu for two, you will love this cake!...

Love bite-sized foods? You might also like these Pigs in a Blanket, these Baked Brie Bites or these Pizza Sliders! *This post is sponsored by Furlani Foods and I was compensated for my time spent creating this recipe! Thank you for supporting the brands that make The Recipe Rebel possible. The first time I made these Mini Cheeseburger Skewers for my kids, they were an instant hit! They loved the crunch and added flavor of the Furlani garlic Texas toast instead of a traditional bun, the juicy burger and how easy they are to customize with all of their favorite toppings....

PIN THIS RECIPE FOR LATER I’ll be totally honest. I’m not usually one for making a hundred kinds of fancy Christmas cookies. But I just couldn’t resist with these Hersey Kiss Cookies! I mean, we’ve got a solid amount of chocolate. Plus an easy mint cookie base, and they’re cute! The kids love to help out with these by sticking the kisses on top, but you do have to keep an eye on them because they often get lost before they make it to their destination 😉 For this recipe, I started with my Mom’s Chocolate Chip Cookies....

If there is any sweet breakfast concoction worthy of a Christmas brunch, it’s this Monkey Bread. I used to make Monkey Bread a lot, and I love experimenting with different flavors (this Lemon Monkey Bread is a personal and reader favorite!). And these Cinnamon Roll Bites come close, but they are a little quicker to get to the table — if that’s what you need, check it out! But the fact that I’ve never shared a great, class Monkey Bread recipe here?...

If there’s one I don’t do a lot of around here, it’s appetizers and finger food. I mean, how often do you see moms of 3 kids 7 and under serving an appetizer with their meal? 😉 BUT, we do love appetizers that count as dinner, like these hearty Nacho Fries loaded with ground beef, onions, peppers, cheese and all your favorite nacho toppings. Love hearty appetizers that you can call dinner?...

I know it seems too good to be true, but it’s not. I mean, you will probably need a cutting board to chop your veg and such, and a bowl and whisk for your eggs, but there are no pots and pans requiring washing after this meal. Because it’s summer, and who wants to be inside washing dishes?! The hubs and I are kind of obsessed with these Microwave Ready and BBQ/Oven Ready Packs from The Little Potato Company....
