But it’s hard to beat a freshly baked homemade muffin. Plus, they’re quick, easy, can be made in advance (at least a little bit) and this Cinnamon Streusel Muffin recipe keeps the mess to a minimum. To make the muffins, you’ll need all-purpose flour, baking powder, table salt, brown sugar, cinnamon, chopped pecans, vanilla and almond extracts, an egg, buttermilk (or plain kefir), and cooking oil (I used to use canola in cases like this, but I use peanut oil these days....

First, a quick happy birthday to my dad! He’s absolutely the best dad out there, and I feel so lucky all the time that he’s my dad.

Sometimes we all need desserts that look fancy enough to serve to your guests and simple enough to not to send you running all the way to the gourmet store. This cranberry cobbler is one such dessert that you can make using fresh or frozen cranberries as per season or availability.

However, I can tell you that from my perspective, I’m definitely the nerdy one. I say that with pride. I own it. Back when I was 10 and the girls in my neighborhood were mean to me, I wished I was anything but nerdy, but these days, I’m completely happy to be a nerd (and to be married to one). I’m the one with the Lord of the Rings references and the tribute to Harry Potter and the Tim Riggins Valentines (my level of devotion to Friday Night Lights is definitely indicative of my nerdiness)....

3.93 27 Published Aug 26, 2021, Updated May 17, 2024 I feel like I need to apologize if you were expecting something sweet — apple pie bites, a healthy apple crisp or something along those lines — nope, it’s a SALAD. Y’all know I love my salad recipes. But before you close your browser, this apple slaw is still plenty sweet! The base is a spiralized (or shredded) sweet apple (I used a Fuji) with red cabbage, quinoa and baby spinach....

I had a huge garden at our old house and fresh basil was always a part of it. We grew other herbs - parsley, mint, cilantro, thyme and rosemary - as well as zucchini, squash, all kinds of peppers and tomatoes, and sometimes eggplant, arugula and pole beans. It was big and beautiful and I thought gardening was pretty easy. Fast forward to our current house, which I love and adore so very much....

It’s here. It’s back-to-school week for us. The kiddos start tomorrow and they are the perfect mix of nervous and excited. I am, too, honestly, given how crazy this year has been. We’ve gotten all of our clothes - and masks - washed and ready to go, new backpacks and lunch boxes have arrived, nails are trimmed, and I’m just hoping for the best. (They are starting in person and while I completely trust the school - it’s the one I went to growing up - it’s hard not to be a little worried....

This cake in a jar is a rich, decadent chocolate dessert that’s fudgy in the middle and crisp on the outside, and studded with toasted pecans for another depth of flavor and texture. Tailgating is serious business in the college town that I’m living in, and it’s not something I can avoid.

You guys. I have no words. I used Krispy Kreme original glazed and they were soft and delicious. The magic happens when you plop those babies on the grill. The heat caramelizes the sugar, turning it into a sweet crispy, crackly, dream. Imagine the top of creme brulee and that’s what we have here. It’s pretty much amazing and you need to make it. Pin it. Share it with the world....

I’ve been on a bit of a shrimp kick this summer, it seems like. Recently I’ve shared lemon garlic shrimp and garlic butter shrimp, both of which are ready in under 15 minutes. Honey garlic shrimp is another favorite. Just 5 ingredients and 10 minutes to make and the sauce is addictively delicious!

Now, there are different sizes of drumsticks. This recipe is for about 2 – 2 1/2 pounds, and for best results, look for the ones that are about 3-4 inches long and give you 5-6 drumsticks per pound or so. They’re on the smaller side, but not tiny like chicken-wing-size. I don’t really like the giant, meaty ones here. You could also use boneless, skinless chicken thighs. Don’t use boneless skinless breasts or tenderloins....
