These tender and sweet cinnamon raisin biscuits full of plump raisins and topped with a creamy vanilla glaze taste just like those famous fast food biscuits you remember. You know what I used to love when I was a kid? Cinnamon Raisin Biscuits from Hardee’s. My grandma would buy them for us.  I had the California Raisins toys and even bed sheets. Yes, my 80’s childhood is definitely showing. And looking back, how weird is it that they made cartoon…

Malibu Muffins are full of pineapple, coconut, maraschino cherries, and a hint of rum flavor for a breakfast treat that packs the flavor of summer days sitting beach side. It might seem wrong to make breakfast with the flavors of a cocktail, but one bite of these Malibu muffins and I think you’ll change your mind. These fun muffins are loaded with pineapple, coconut, maraschino cherries, and hints of rum, just like a Malibu Sunset cocktail, hence the name Malibu…

The deep and rich flavor of molasses brings a whole new life to a simple boxed yellow cake mix in this Molasses Skillet Cake. Topped with crunchy and buttery crumble topping, this moist and dense cake doesn’t need anything special to go alongside it, but a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream does make an excellent pairing. I wanted to say a mighty fine pairing, but I’m trying to reign myself in from talking too country. You guys…I…

Creamy pesto pasta salad is an easy make ahead salad full of fresh spring vegetables like asparagus, cherry tomatoes, artichokes and is topped with a creamy homemade dressing. In case you weren’t aware we’re in asparagus season now.  Asparagus is one of my favorite vegetables, it’s usually a bit pricey, but right now you’ll find it at it’s best!  If you’ve never bought fresh asparagus before, you might be a bit intimidated by this vegetable.

Ground beef, italian sausage, and veggies are combined with pizza sauce and topped with provolone cheese for an easy twist on the classic sloppy joe sandwich.

Banoffee Scones have a tender banana scone base with chocolate and toffee bits added for a flavor combination you’ll love. These aren’t the prettiest scone in the book, but they rank high for how easy they are to make and how great they taste.  I adore baking scones. I also adore lazy shortcut recipes that use pantry staples and/or mixes. Do you love those too? If so you need to check out my top recipe on AHB. Today’s banoffee scones…

Topped with a creamy eggnog glaze these scones are a fun and festive treat to enjoy with your cuppa this winter. Last week I shared cranberry crumb muffins, this week I’m bringing you a recipe for eggnog scones and next I’ll have a recipe for an easy and elegant make ahead ham and asparagus strata.…

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:…
