One of my favorite childhood memories is baking with my mom. She wasn’t (and isn’t) a terribly adventurous baker, she’s more the type to bake the same few things over and over again — basic fudgy brownies, chocolate chip cookies, the occasional peanut butter cookie, and these Magic Cookie Bars. Her recipe came straight from…

Dolly Parton is one of my favorite people on earth so it wasn’t even a question whether or not we should try out her Macaroni Salad. You see, Dolly does more than just sing — she’s also a great cook and has her own line of baking mixes and a few cookbooks chock-full of homey, comforting recipes….

This isn’t the first Dolly Parton recipe we’ve tried and loved and it probably won’t be the last. It turns out the Queen of Country is not just an accomplished songwriter, singer, actress, and philanthropist… she’s also an incredible cook. This 5-Ingredient Casserole proves just that. It’s simple, but it’s also the kind of creamy…

There are not too many foods that are more American than hamburgers. There are many toppings that are generally used on top of your burgers. However, I am very partial to simple items. My favorite is the Oklahoma Fried Onion Burgers. For many of us, there is nothing that comes close to the taste of…

Summertime is my favorite time of year! The weather is warm, the sun is shining, and there are so many fun things to do. One of my favorite summer treats is this orange creamsicle fluff. It’s a delicious combination of oranges and cream that always makes me feel happy. It will be the perfect treat for…

When it comes to pancakes and potatoes, there is one dish that will win my heart every time. A good Potato Pancake is really hard to find. However, the Germans have a recipe that I love and really want to share with you. These pancakes are thin and crispy, and they are the way to cure that…

This 4-ingredient oven mandarin orange dessert is what I make when I need something sweet, fast, and with almost zero dishes. It starts exactly how the headline promises: you toss canned mandarin orange segments straight onto a metal baking sheet, sprinkle on three pantry-friendly ingredients, and let the oven do the magic. The oranges get…

I woke up thinking about this salad this morning and how it is the perfect summer meal idea. Now I know it isn’t “officially” summer yet, but to me anything after Memorial Day is summer.  We often try to avoid turning on our ovens in the summer, but sometimes after a day of swimming, gardening,…

Why This Recipe Is Dietitian Approved Chicken. I like using boneless, skinless chicken breast when making chicken salad. However chicken thighs or rotisserie chicken are also great options. Celery. For freshness and crunch. This is a classic chicken salad ingredient that in my opinion is non-negotiable!  Red onion. This helps provide a mild spice to this chicken salad….

Boston Cream Sheet Cake takes everything we love about the classic dessert and turns it into a simple dessert for a crowd. You still get that creamy vanilla filling and rich chocolate topping—but without any fuss. Using a boxed cake mix keeps things easy, while still feeling like a homemade treat. It’s the kind of…
