30 Minutes or Less

Cranberry Crumb Muffins are a perfect way to use up fresh cranberries. These fluffy muffins are studded with sweet and tart cranberries and topped with a sprinkling of crunchy oat crumb topping. Be honest here, how often to you cook with fresh cranberries? Maybe once a year, tops twice, right? I was shocked when I discovered that only 5% of the cranberries grown in the United States are actually sold fresh. The vast majority are turned into juice, cranberry sauce,…

Classic creamy turkey and noodles are comfort food at it’s best, but take less than 30 minutes to cook in the instant pot. I love the look on people’s faces when they ask me about what I made for Thanksgiving. Even though I have this website and I obviously love to bake and cook, I don’t get asked to make much for this particular holiday! The grandmas rule supreme.  I have 2 signature dishes that I make for Thanksgiving dinner:…

Caramel apple scones are flaky tender scones studded with chunks of sweet tart apple that are topped with buttery homemade caramel glaze. It’s okay to have a crush on these scones, I have for a long time.  I know I just posted an apple recipe not that long ago. Let me tell you what happens; I buy apples to eat fresh, they are my good intention apples, but then I think of things to bake with them and it all…

Apples, bacon, and cheese make an easy, delicious and out of the box fall breakfast when broiled on top of English muffins. The other day my middle son had me buy enough English muffins that he could make English muffin pizzas for our family for dinner and for his FACS class at school. You know I have teenage boys and his FACS class is full of teenagers, so I basically bought so many English muffins that I could have fed…

Sweet potato sage scones are buttery crisp on the bottom, with a mellow undertone of sweetness from the sweet potatoes. Sage and butter really bring the combination together for a rich and flaky, savory scone. Try these in place of biscuits next time you serve up a roasted chicken or turkey! I don’t think it’s any secret that scones are my first love when it comes to baking. After all the first recipe I ever shared on AHB was for…

Colorful red potatoes, green onions, and celery are tossed with a creamy sour cream and dill dressing in this easy to make red potato salad, for a flavor reminiscent of sour cream and onion potato chips. This salad is a perfect and easy make ahead side dish that pairs wonderfully with grilled meats and fish.  I know most of the United States has already fallen under the spell of pumpkin spice and I’m looking forward to it too. In fact,…

These bite-sized, spiced just right pumpkin donuts are topped with a cinnamon cream cheese glaze to  create perfectly poppable pumpkin roll donuts.  Perfectly poppable pumpkin roll donuts–try saying that 5 times fast. If you were to ask any of my coworkers one thing that I loved, they would probably tell you donuts. They might even say that I’m obsessed with donuts. I won’t even try and deny it. Once you’ve had fresh homemade donuts, there’s no turning back. Especially when…

Tender and flaky scones are studded with sweet tart blackberries and topped with a rich cream cheese glaze for a winning combination. I’ll have you know, I already wrote a post about these blackberry cream cheese scones once. But when I was done writing, I read the post and I realized that when it comes to blackberries I have a tendency to say the same thing. My husband loves them. Well you know what? The heck with that.  Yes, he…

Take your ordinary boxed cornbread mix and make the best moist and honey sweet cornbread ever with this simple recipe hack! If you don’t love cornbread, don’t read this post. Because I freaking love it. I love it. I love it. I could eat it with every meal and for breakfast. (I’ve totally eaten it for breakfast and no that’s not weird, it’s totally a thing. At least I think it is. ) And I really think that this recipe…

Layered cornbread salad is so bright and colorful. Fresh veggies are layered high with cornbread, cheese and ranch dressing. It’s crunchy, creamy, savory, and with the cornbread, just a hint of sweet as well for a combination that can’t be beat. The first time I ever heard of cornbread salad I was pretty sure it was something that Missouri corn farming wives had made up just because they had an abundance of corn! This salad is a rural church dinner…
