A new take on a favorite recipe, this breaded and baked dish should never come out of a box again! Fresh tomatoes and hints of nutmeg, dress up this classic that adults can appreciate just as much as kids always have.

Milky, buttery, and cheesy, this classic pasta dish never gets old. Mac n’ cheese to please the masses, the creamy casserole is finished off with a crispy bread crumb crust. The only missing from this delish dish is your fork digging into its layers of ooey gooey goodness. The juicy, ripe tomatoes bring such a wonderful flavor and help make this dish a little bit lighter. Honestly, we don’t typically enjoy fixing something that ain’t broken, but folks, this mac ‘n cheese recipe just got 1000 times better! I know, we didn’t think this was possible, either. If you don’t believe me, give it a try yourself!

Quick Tip: Spray your casserole dish with Pam to avoid sticking.

A casserole of cake, you can eat in the a.m… who would have any complaints? Topped with fresh fruit and drizzled in delightfully thick syrup, your family will be happy to wake up to this dish any day. Don’t worry; it’s not all sugar and syrup. There are plenty of sweet blueberries nestled inside of this pancake paradise, and you can top it with your favorite selection of fruits to make it even healthier.

Why make a normal stack of pancakes, when you can bake them in a rich, creamy custard? Whether you make them ahead of time, use store bought, or make them at the time of the dish; pancakes always keep very well. In fact, you can easily double this recipe and freeze half for another breakfast. I don’t know about you, but I LOVE hitting two birds with one stone. We moms, dad, and grandparents are busy!

Quick Tip: Sprinkle a dusting of powdered sugar over hot pancakes for a sweet presentation.

This square pie begs for a try… or two or three.  Easy to share, the recipe feeds as many hungry mouths as you slice it. But watch out for those pesky pizza thieves! Seriously, folks, this pie is the pie in the sky, the Big Kahuna, the cat’s meow. I love it – well, duh! I’ve made it three times already, since I found this about a month ago! The second time was for a family gathering, and people were practically fighting over the last piece!

Pizza, pizza, pizza – America loves its Italian pies of perfection! But rather than using shredded cheese, which is rather popular, this dish takes advantage of fresh balls of mozzarella, and shreds of juicy basil. I get that this is an Italian delight, but I’m pretty sure that Jimmy Buffet is noshing on this delicious dish down in Margaritaville.

Quick Tip: Easily double this recipe when feeding a crowd.

During the cold months of winter, casseroles are key when feeding friends and family. Easy to make and full of hearty ingredients, it’s no wonder these type of dishes are so filling and popular. This recipe yields up to 12 servings, and keeps very well in the fridge. The condensed chicken soup, and mayo, make this dish a creamy cheesy delight for all.

Let’s hear it from our friends over at Food Network:

This was a big hit at our house.  Even my super picky eater devoured it!  Had everything ready and popped it in the oven before picking my kids up from practice.  When we came home… voila;  Delicious dinner served!  Will definitely make again and again.

This certainly is a breeze to put together, and it only gets better after a day in the fridge, when all the flavors have really combined. That is, if you are lucky enough to have leftovers…

Quick tip: Use whole grain brown rice for a healthier option.

Although it’s unclear how this recipe originally got it’s name, it’s very unlikely that it had anything to do with grasshoppers – at least not in the ingredients! With every element of a decadent dessert rolled into one, this chocolate green dish will please the palate of everyone at the table. This no-bake recipe literally takes minutes to make AND seconds to devour. With a crispy chocolate crust, a cookie crumble, and a drizzling of fudge, this dish practically flies off of plates. That’s why I would highly recommend making two of these, for a larger crowd!

Let’s hear it from our friends over at The Girl Who Ate Everything:

This Grasshopper Mint Pie starts off with a chocolate crust filled with a creamy (grasshopper free) mint filling. The pie is chilled, then topped with crumbled chocolate cookies and drizzled with chocolate syrup. This Grasshopper Mint Pie only takes about 5 minutes to prepare and a couple of hours of chilling until it is ready to serve.

Quick tip: I bet this would also be delicious when frozen!

You know what I thought of this morning when I woke up? Nothing. I didn’t have time for thoughts when I forced myself out of bed at 4:30a.m. and rushed to the kitchen to make some coffee. I had barely opened my eyes yet but I knew it was going to be a busy day – and somewhere in the back of my head I also knew I probably wouldn’t have time to make dinner. But then I suddenly remembered my stash! The secret stash of super easy recipes that only take a few minutes of prep time. I found this one in there and before my coffee was done, I was already getting this started!

A savory, spicy dish that will warm your tummy, this is a perfect set-it and forget-it dish. Pile all these delicious ingredients into your crock pot and let it stew all day! Although to some, the dark meat of the turkey is not as desirable, this recipe calls for just that. This recipe also calls for cocoa powder, it’s what creates the creamy mole sauce of the chili.  Serve this with tortilla chips, or warm buttered cornbread.

Quick tip: This recipe yields 8-10 servings.

The very first time I saw this cake at my friend’s birthday party, I thought she had ordered it from one of those fancy bakeries. I actually even asked her where she got it from, so I could keep it in mind for my next party! She laughed and asked me if I could keep a secret… And then she revealed she had whipped it up in 15 minutes the other night. I could not believe it! But she gave me the recipe and told me it was the easiest dessert in the world.

Here’s your chance to chill out with these simple yet delicious sandwiches, filled with oozy fudge, and fluffy whip. You can also decorate them in any fashion you choose, be it for the holidays or a birthday. With only 4 ingredients in the recipe, and 15 minutes of prep time, this dessert can be made in a jiffy! I dare you to have just one serving…
