I just really need the world to know that you can make caramel pudding so easily. Next time you venture down the path of homemade pudding (which I hope is very soon), can I beg you to caramelize the sugar before proceeding with your regular recipe? No extra pan required, promise! Even if the recipe is chocolate pudding–chocolate caramel pudding is just one extra step away. Butterscotch pudding–nope, caramel butterscotch pudding wins....
I’ve probably told you this before, but I completely ruined my kid on oatmeal. When she was a baby, she LOVED it. And I loved coming up with new flavor combinations constantly. Apple cardamom was a favorite, so was pumpkin flax, and strawberry chia oatmeal! (Ever checked out my BABY FOOD RECIPES?) But now? Camille will not touch oatmeal. I have to put sprinkles on it to get her to eat 3 bites....

If you know me at all you probably know that there are two loves in my foodie life: soup and cheesecake. It’s an odd combination, maybe, but one that makes perfect sense. It’s all about balance, right? I’ve got a solid collection of cheesecake recipes here on The Recipe Rebel — some reader favorites are this Easy Cheesecake Recipe, this No Bake Oreo Cheesecake, and this No Bake White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake....
Hey! Hi. Hi! I’ve been eating a lot of bread. And I think it’s related, but I’m feeling very happy these days. It’s a very good thing. The weather got cold again and so I sat in front of the oven, tore off large pieces of this homemade focaccia, and dunked it in excessive amounts of peppery olive oil. My fingers are greasy, but my belly is full. I love being well-fed....

When I first started this site, in 2010, I simply had the idea that most people don’t need a giant 3-layer cake on the counter or 4 dozen cookies leftover. I knew that I wanted to scale down everyone’s favorite desserts into smaller portions so that we could enjoy them more often. My first cookbook, Dessert for Two, is full of every dessert we all know and love, scaled down to make 2-3 servings....
A chicken dinner is a no-brainer in our house because everyone loves it, and it can be made with just about any seasonings or sides! If I’m making skin-on, though, it has to be super crispy—I’m a sucker for that juicy crunch! These Oven Baked Chicken Drumsticks are the best way I’ve found to get that crispy skin every time. Plus, it’s the perfect hands-off way to make a chicken meal for the whole family....
Cold, icy drinks are what summer is all about, right? My mom used to make slush around the holidays, which might seem like a strange time considering that it is absolutely freezing here. But since this Strawberry Lemon Slush is pretty much the only recipe we use, I really wanted to experiment with another variation. And since I know you love lime and berries, this was a natural second! This Berry Lime Slush recipe is super simple and uses just a few ingredients — it is really just a combination of lime juice, berry punch, pureed strawberries and some sugar....

Here is a recipe for plain and simple homemade vanilla pudding. It’s great on its own in two cute little cups or tucked into a graham cracker crust with whipped cream on top. My venture into homemade vanilla pudding actually began with a recipe for chocolate pudding. I followed a recipe from the Joy of Cooking and did everything it said to do, in the exact order. The recipe is absolutely perfect!...
Brownie Pots Just looking at these photos and writing up this recipe for you, I can taste the rich, fudge centers of these brownie pots. We have this recipe printed and taped on the side of our fridge for emergency brownie cravings, but honestly, at this point, I have the recipe memorized. It is so simple, and comes together in the microwave! You know my love of microwave desserts from my microwave lemon curd recipe, don’t you?...
You will love this Chocolate Chip Banana Muffin Recipe I’ve always got one lonely brown banana on my counter. If I had a band, I would name it One Brown Banana, and the cover art would capture the loneliness, of course! I buy a big bunch of bananas for the week, and between my baby banana pancakes in my baby breakfast ideas rotation and my double chocolate banana muffins, most are gone quickly!...
I crated this recipe because of my husband’s love of mint. We have discussed his preference for mint jelly on a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, haven’t we? It’s vile, in my opinion, but I can get behind a mint buttercream. The chocolate cupcakes are my eggless chocolate cupcakes, but please know that I reach for this recipe so much because it makes perfectly soft, tender and rich chocolatey cupcakes....
You might also enjoy this Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie, these Peanut Butter Balls or these Soft Peanut Butter Cookies! The first time I tried Chocolate Peanut Butter Clusters, I grabbed in a grocery store as a pick-me-up during a stressful shopping experience. They surpassed my expectations and proved to be irresistible; it was love at first bite—I finished off the whole bag in an afternoon! Needless to say, I had to make my own chocolate peanut butter candy recipe to make them at home....
Muffins and sweet breads are always a big hit around here! Banana Nut Bread, Blueberry Banana Bread, Pumpkin Muffins, Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins, you name it, we’ll devour it. Well, these Cinnamon Apple Muffins may be one of my favorite muffin recipes. They’re made healthier with whole wheat flour and plain Greek yogurt, and mostly naturally sweetened with applesauce and just a touch of brown sugar. These muffins make the perfect breakfast, snack, or healthier dessert!...
So I was asked to bring a dessert to my in-laws for Thanksgiving. That’s pretty normal, except for the one time my mother-in-law accidentally asked me to bring a salad. I was a little confused, but I wasn’t going to ask her what she was thinking, so I made a salad. I’m sure I used a recipe and everything. She’s never asked me to bring another salad. Not that it was a bad salad, but I think when she said “salad” she meant “dessert”, and she’s never made the same mistake again....
