Serve this cake warm, scooped straight from the slow cooker into small bowls or onto plates, letting the glossy limoncello glaze drip down the sides. It pairs beautifully with a dollop of lightly sweetened whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla or lemon sorbet to echo the spritz theme. For adults, offer chilled limoncello spritzes…
These oven baked 4-ingredients bacon wrapped potato wedges are the appetizer my husband’s golf buddies request every single time they come over. They’re simple, hearty, and exactly the kind of crowd-pleaser that disappears faster than I can set them down. The idea is a Midwestern potluck classic at heart: potatoes, bacon, a touch of seasoning,…
recipes that instantly become the first thing everyone reaches for at the snack table, and these 3-Ingredient Salami Pickle Biteshave earned that title in my house. They may be incredibly simple, but every time I make them, they disappear before I even have a chance to refill the platter. It’s one of those little recipes that…
When tomatoes are in season and the counter is overflowing with them, this is the snack I make on repeat. Three ingredients, no cooking, no real skill required — just crackers, cream cheese, and the ripest tomatoes you can get your hands on. It’s the kind of simple that somehow still gets people asking for…

There are some vintage recipes that we are all too happy to leave in the past (Savory jello salad? No thank you!), but there are also plenty of other old-timey recipes that are too tasty to be forgotten. This War-Time Cake falls into the later category for us, and once you taste it, you’re sure…
If you grew up going to church potlucks, family reunions, or holiday gatherings in the Midwest, there’s a good chance this salad was on the table, and there’s an equally good chance it was one of the first things to disappear. Rosa Marina Salad gets its name from Rosa Marina pasta, a rice-shaped variety that’s…
Despite growing up in the Midwest, I was not familiar with Ham Salad until quite recently. And I’ll admit, I wasn’t totally sold on the idea of it at first. I love ham and I’m a big fan of similar dishes like tuna salad or egg salad, so I really don’t know where my opposition…
The fanciest of salads, in my opinion, looks visually stunning. Salads look so great in person and online because of the expression of colors. In this fancy Italian, we take colorful shredded green lettuce and paint it with a rainbow of colors and height. It’s a flavorful component-driven salad dressed with sliced salami, diced tomatoes,…
If you’ve ever been to Ruth’s Chris Steak House, you know that their sides are just about as good as their steak. Their chopped salad is one of those dishes that you think about long after the meal is over. It’s a little bit over the top — packed with a ton of interesting ingredients…
