No Bake Recipes

This recipe post has been sponsored by Dole Sunshine, but all the opinions expressed are my own. #ShareTheSunshine Does your family have a signature dish that everyone loves so much it can be found at every single holiday meal throughout the year? Our family does and this Orange Dream Salad is it! Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter and even the 4th of July you’ll find this fruity delight on our table. Light, creamy and sweet, this dessert salad has a delicious flavor…

These rocky road haystacks are always a hit. Crunchy peanuts and chow mein noodles are paired with mini marshmallows and coated in chocolate for a sweet and salty no bake treat that’s quick to whip together.  It’s funny to me the different things we care about having the “best of.” Not necessarily funny in the haha kind of way, but funny as in peculiar. For instance, my husband has to have the best internet. He’s constantly checking our download and upload…

This pepper slaw is refreshingly different. Sweet and tangy and full of colorful crunchy fresh veggies. Pepper slaw pairs excellently with pulled pork sandwiches and is easy to whip up the day before to bring to a dinner or potluck. In my house everyone knows that Tuesday nights are blog post nights. My kids know that I will need a couple hours alone time to write and edit photos. Blog night especially bothers my youngest son, he just wants to…

This easy cannoli dip tastes like classic cannoli, goes together in just a few minutes and makes a great gluten free party option. A few years ago I was lucky enough to get homemade fresh cannoli at a graduation reception, talk about heaven! Italians know their desserts.  Up to that point, I’d lived my whole life thinking that I didn’t like ricotta cheese, only knowing it as the kind of odd textured and powdery cheese in lasagna. I wholeheartedly admit…

Juicy apples, spicy cinnamon and crunchy oats. This apple crisp chia has everything you love about apple crisp, but in a totally guilty-free and healthy breakfast form.  The other day, my big boss lady asked me if I had any more chia recipes, because she really loved my chunky monkey breakfast chia, but was looking for something different.  She likes the chia stuff because it’s easy to make the night before and makes a good post workout breakfast, plus it’s…

Totally decadent, over the top, loaded peanut butter rice crispy treats. Chewy peanut butter rice crispy treats are layered with peanut butter cup filling, then topped with melted chocolate and m and m’s. These no bake beauties aren’t for the faint of heart, but are a must make for any peanut butter lover.  I noticed this week that I was becoming pretty predictable with my summer AHB recipes. A little fruit, a simple pastry or cake batter, a tasty glaze…

This patriotic party popcorn is a super simple sweet and salty treat that is done in minutes. Perfect for parties or simply to snack on this no bake treat is easy to make, but hard to stop munching once you start. Summer is a time for many things, one of which seems to be family reunions. I firmly believe that there are two types of people in this world, people who love family reunions and people who don’t.  I’m terrible…

Fruity and sweet. Spicy and hot. Boring old barbecue it’s definitely not. This mango jalapeno barbecue sauce is perfect for marinating and grilling with this summer. Holidays in my household are kind of a mixed bag, you never know what you’re going to be walking into. There are times when my husband likes to do things up with big grand gestures and then there are other times when we both are like, eh, you just order what you want and…

Creamy and rich. Full of fiber, protein, and omega 3’s. Chocolatey and sweet and delicious.  Is that even possible? Yes! This 3 ingredient simple chocolate chia is all of those things plus more! Yesterday, I had a recipe fail. When I say fail, I don’t mean the kind of recipe fail that’s like, aw man, this didn’t taste nearly as good as how the picture looked, I mean total failure. Like this is nowhere even close to what this is…

Cool and creamy. Spicy and fresh. This Sriracha Shrimp Pasta Salad is an easy make ahead main dish loaded with colorful crisp veggies, shrimp, and a bold sriracha dressing. I started this blog just over a year ago. If you’re familiar with my story, then you probably know that I started blogging because I was at a low point in my life. I’d recently lost a part of my identity, after being a stay at home for 15 years my…
