PIN IT FOR LATER This is one of those things. How on Earth am I supposed to name this thing? And so I end up with these absolutely ridonkulous titles that are 28 words long. Or close. So I wanted to make another super fantastic ice cream cake this summer (like last summer’s Brownie Mountain Ice Cream Cake!), and I was inspired by the “Slutty Brownie” with this one. But I don’t really like trash talking my food, you know?...

I want to share a quick variation of my French macarons. My parents are visiting for a long weekend, so we’re out gallivanting around doing things that Texans love to do when they come to California: wine tasting, harvesting food from the garden, marveling at the sight of water in rivers, enjoying the fact that when you look east and west you can see hills (we call them mountains) in the distance, and ordering vegetable-centric meals served in small portions at restaurants....

I know, I know – I’m a little late jumping on the quinoa bandwagon. But the nice thing about testing and reviewing cookbooks is the chance to try something new. The second cookbook I’ve been privileged enough to peruse and test out is Miss Vickie’s Kitchen from Vickie Kerr, creator of Miss Vickie’s Potato Chips. If you don’t already know, Miss Vickie makes the best potato chips. And, no, this post is not sponsored....

This post is generously sponsored by Dairy Farmers of Manitoba and I was compensated for my time in creating this recipe. Thank you for supporting the brands that make The Recipe Rebel possible! Carrot Cake is a popular dessert for the dinner table and I am so excited to share this recipe with you! This Easy Carrot Cake Recipe is ready with just 25 minutes of prep! The cake is perfectly moist and fluffy, flavoured with cinnamon and ginger, and layered with a classic whipped cream cheese frosting....

Love orzo? Try this Lemon Chicken Orzo Soup, this Sun Dried Tomato and Spinach Orzo recipe, One Pot Lemon Orzo pasta or one of The 10 Best Orzo Recipes! This Garlic Parmesan Orzo Pasta recipe is a recipe you don’t want to miss! Anything that has garlic and parmesan in it is bound to be good, right? Slow Cooker Garlic Parmesan Chicken Stew, Garlic Parmesan Scalloped Potatoes, Pesto Parmesan Instant Pot Chicken Breast and Potatoes…Yeah....

I’m not sure if I’ve told you this before, but in lieu of a groom’s cake at our wedding, my husband opted for an ice cream bar. We served scoops of chocolate and vanilla ice cream from a local creamery and set out toppings for people to add on their own. It was magical. Even though we got married in the cold month of February, not a single person passed on ice cream....

See the step by step recipe video down in the recipe card. This healthier Skillet Lasagna has been a long time favorite on The Recipe Rebel, and it is finally getting an update! As much as we love this Easy Lasagna Recipe (with oven ready noodles that save us a step!), this Classic Skillet Lasagna, and this Crockpot Lasagna (made with 6 ingredients!), this skillet lasagna still has a place in our hearts because of how much good stuff is in it!...

We are big smoothie lovers here, and this healthy Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie is my kids favorite one! It tastes like a milkshake, but is made with simple, healthy ingredients that keep us going through a busy day. If you’re a smoothie lover like us, you might like this Strawberry Smoothie, this Pineapple Smoothie, or this Strawberry Banana Smoothie! Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie ingredients: Milk: I use low fat dairy milk, because that’s what we drink, but I have often used almond, nut or coconut milk and it is also delicious!...

We’re not exactly dashing through the snow right now since we live in Texas (thank God), but we are dashing through the bags of powdered sugar, which is kind of the same thing. My daughter is requesting that we make every cookie recipe she sees a photo of as a ’test for Santa.’ Apparently, only she knows which cookie Santa likes best. I’m sure you’re not surprised that Santa and Camille have the same taste in cookies....

PIN THIS RECIPE FOR LATER So today we’re celebrating the babes of some good blogger friends: Natalie (and baby Josh!) of Tastes Lovely, Jessica of Flying on Jess Fuel, and Izzy of She Likes Food! Personally I don’t think there’s any better way to celebrate, well, pretty much anything than good food, so we’ve gathered a bunch of tasty bites and you can find them all in the links below the recipes....

Love anything Alfredo? Try this Chicken Tortellini Alfredo, this Easy Alfredo Sauce or this Chicken Broccoli Alfredo next! It’s Monday, which means I’m back with another Six Ingredient Supper (see all my 6 Ingredient Suppers here!), and this time it’s one of our favorites! To be fair, I don’t know many people who don’t love a great big pot of Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo. It is so cozy, and comforting, and creamy, and the perfect dinner for when you just need a big plate of carbs....

PIN THIS POST FOR LATER We are more than halfway through summer and I’m in denial, you guys. I feel like there haven’t been enough play dates, splash park runs, beach days, ice cream cones, and picnics. Then again, I’m pretty sure I always feel this way once August hits. Like I haven’t taken full advantage of the sunshine and an open schedule. Luckily for me, there’s still time. I swear, my kids eat so much better when we picnic than when I try to get them to sit at a table....

I’ve been trying to think of alternate titles for this video because it’s one of my favorite things to do. I named my first live television appearance ‘The time I touched food with my bare hands and then handed it to someone to eat…live on air. LIVE.’ You can see it here. For this video, the only alternative title I’ve come up with is “The time I said 4 shots and ended up pouring a fifth of bourbon for two people....

While we typically think of slow cooker recipes as cold weather food, I actually use my crockpot the most in the summer months! This is because my kids want to play outside all afternoon, and by the time they are finally ready to come inside, they want dinner immediately. If I can take a few minutes with a crockpot dump meal in the morning, I am rewarded with a dinner that is so quick to serve to them when they’re at their hungriest....

SO. Slow Cooker Lasagna?!? That’s right, friends. I’m not actually sure why I’ve never tried a slow cooker lasagna before today. As I’ve mentioned before, once I learned how to cook pasta in the slow cooker, my life was forever changed. This Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken Chili Mac, and this Healthier Slow Cooker Hamburger Helper are proof. And interestingly enough, this is my second slow cooker pasta recipe this week....

Holy emails, you guys! Thank you SO much for writing me and requesting more dinner for two recipes. You make my day, like, all of the days. Thanks again! I might have the biggest surprise in the world for you dinner for two lovers out there, but I’m just not ready to share it yet. I will blab about it as soon as I can, though, I promise! There is really no excuse why I don’t share more dinners for two with y’all, because I cook dinner for two every night....

Love homemade takeout-inspired recipes? Try my skillet Orange Chicken recipe, this Vegetable Lo Mein or this Chicken Chow Mein recipe! I love my crockpot sweet and sour chicken recipe and this Instant Pot Sweet and Sour Chicken when I need something hands off. But they do require me to plan ahead a little bit. Which I don’t always do. 😉 This stovetop Sweet and Sour Chicken recipe is perfect for when you’re craving Chinese takeout but also craving a home cooked meal....

How are you guys doing? Are you hanging in there? With Thanksgiving, Halloween, game day parties, school pick up and drop off and extra curricular activities… plus Christmas looming… sometimes it just feels like you don’t have a moment to breathe. This is the time of year when having a solid freezer stash saves my butt, and this Taco Lasagna recipe is a new make-aheadable obsession that I’m adding to my list....

There are two things that most people know about me: So I’m sure you can imagine by excitement when I can make a one pot soup recipe. This Tomato Tortellini Soup is just that! Not only is this recipe made in just one pot, it’s loaded with so many flavorful ingredients: caramelized onion, sweet tomato, cheesy tortellini, and salty parmesan. I love serving this recipe with a side of Garlic Bread for dunking — I think I could eat this every day of the winter!...

I partnered with BAILEYS® Coffee Creamers to bring you this post. Thanks for letting me partner with brands I love and use in my own kitchen. I was provided with product and compensated for my time, but the opinions and recipe are my own. If you are one of those lovely souls that bought my cookbook, you’ve been subject to my tiresome ramblings on how much I love Tres Leches Cake....
