I first found this recipe on The Pioneer Woman’s cooking blog. From many vehement comments over there, I discovered that this recipe has dark and mysterious origins–some people claim it comes from Allrecipes, others say that it’s from an old Pillsbury cookbook, their grandma, or Recipezaar. I don’t know what the truth is, but I do know that the world is a happier place with magical Mountain Dew-spiked slices of apple wrapped in cheap, canned pastry....
I’m going to show you step by step how to create the same thing, but it’s a method you can easily personalize in so many ways. I do this a lot with breads and I thought this crescent sheet would be perfect for it too. You’ll create a gorgeous filled braid that people will think you spent hours on! It’s seriously so easy- have I mentioned that? You could make a sweet braid filled with apple pie filling, or try a sweetened cream cheese with some fruit jam and put a glaze on top....

Just as good as the classic version, this faux chocolate swiss meringue buttercream is easy and delicious! Chocolate swiss meringue buttercream is one of my favorite buttercreams ever. I make it often for my cakes, and it’s hard to beat that creamy, buttery flavor. But when I’m in a rush, this easy chocolate swiss meringue buttercream version works just as perfectly for all my frosting needs! The difference between easy swiss meringue buttercream and the classic version Classic swiss meringue buttercream relies on the meringue base to add air to the buttercream, which makes it incredibly light and fluffy....

Okay, so. The other day after discussing something completely life-changing I ate at our state fair on Instagram, and then declaring my love for fair food, people started requesting a funnel cake recipe. I quickly hopped on the blog to grab our recipe to send them and couldn’t find it anywhere. I thought I was going crazy. I texted Kate to see if she had maybe removed the funnel cake recipe I remembered her once posting....
Many of you are probably familiar with “Pumpkin Dump Cake” (which by the way is a horribly unappealing name for such a scrumptious treat!) If you’re not then I can give you the recipe in about 4 sentences. Here you go: Get a can of pumpkin (large or small depending on how thick you want it) and follow the instructions on the back of the can to make pie filling....
Okay, now today’s recipe. I’ve said it before, but if I had to pick one meal to eat every day for the rest of my life, it would be fajitas. Our classic Fajita recipe is still my FAVORITE, but I’ve been experimenting lately with some other methods so I can still get my fix even if I don’t have time to marinade meat and veggies, or if I don’t feel like turning on my grill....
This weekend was both long and short, if that makes sense. My husband was out of town on work so I was flying solo with the kids. Which is the part that made the weekend seem really long. On the other hand, they are pretty great kids and we had a fun weekend of going to the pool, running errands, cooking and watching some movies. Not too shabby. And now somehow, it’s already Monday....
I seem to be on a kick recently of making some takeout favorites at home. I love cooking at home, recreating my favorites and keeping things a bit healthier, so I guess it makes sense. I’ve shared cashew chicken, chicken chow mein and moo shu chicken, all of which are ready in just 20 minutes! We also love this 15-minute honey garlic chicken, which uses on-hand ingredients so I can make it any night when I need a quick last-minute dinner....

Who loves a cozy casserole once the weather starts to turn cool? I know I do. My mom’s chicken divan is a family classic and we all adore this Tex-Mex style King Ranch chicken casserole. Today, we are taking one of my favorite soups from childhood and making it a main dish meal. The whole family is going to adore this! French onion chicken casserole is rich and creamy, with tons of caramelized onions mixed in and a crunchy French fried onion topping....

Easy New Year’s eve drink to serve at your party I got you covered with this easy, delicious and spectacular New Year’s eve drink – a gold shimmery champagne cocktail!

So remember a few weeks ago when Sara was sick? This last week was my turn. I wasn’t sick like she was sick–I was still semi-functional, but miserable, which is one of the worst kinds of sick because people still kind of expect you to be a responsible adult when all you want to do is lie in bed and watch re-runs of Frasier. So I knew I had a post coming up and I didn’t know what I was going to post....
Earlier this week I finally shared my healthy chicken salad recipe, a classic that has been my go-to for years. (It’s originally my mom’s recipe that I grew up with.) And previously, I have shared my basil chicken salad with walnuts and pesto chicken salad recipes, which are a fun twist on the original. Oh, and my healthy curry chicken salad, which is a serious weakness of mine! And today it’s my harvest chicken salad with apples, pecans and dried cranberries....
Labor Day is coming up and I’m already excited for a long weekend! Yes, I just had one earlier in the month for my annual girls beach trip. And no, we haven’t even started school. That comes on Monday for us. But still, I’m looking forward to a little vacation and I think we are beach bound! We always go to a spot just outside of Charleston, S.C., and besides 36 hours for the solar eclipse earlier this week (during which time we didn’t make it to the actual beach), we haven’t been all summer....
5 6 Published Feb 03, 2023, Updated Nov 05, 2024 I love a good buffalo sauce recipe (these buffalo cauliflower wings are my fave!) and you can’t go wrong with buffalo chicken. It’s a classic! Traditional buffalo chicken dip usually calls for lots of butter, cream cheese and ranch or blue cheese dressing. To make things a touch healthier I skipped the butter and used cottage cheese instead of cream cheese and a Greek yogurt ranch dressing....
This post has been sponsored by Dannon®. As always, all thoughts and opinions are my own. Happy hump day my friends! I hope the week is treating you well!

So you guys know I love me some homemade granola....

Bring them into the kitchen if you’re feeling like you have the patience for that. 😉 These cookies can be whipped up in one bowl which makes clean up a breeze. Assign simple tasks to your kiddos – measuring out the ingredients, adding ingredients to the bowl, cracking eggs or stirring....
4.38 216 Published Dec 03, 2018, Updated Jan 19, 2024 No Bake Cookies Made Healthier Traditional no bake cookies are made with butter, milk and refined sugar, but for this version we’re keeping things dairy-free by using coconut oil instead of butter and almond milk instead of the regular milk. To keep things refined sugar-free we’re using coconut sugar instead of white sugar. It also has half the amount of sugar and I have to say, I actually like this version with coconut sugar and less sugar way better!...
