So Much Tastier And Healthier Than Their Store-Bought Counterparts!

I had heard of all kinds of horror stories of what’s in those store-bought, or fast food restaurant chicken nuggets. I’m not going to repeat them here, but let’s just say I hadn’t eaten a single nugget ever since I first heard those rumors. Which was sad, because I used to really love them.

It had never even crossed my mind to make chicken nuggets at home – I thought I would need a deep fryer for that, and I wasn’t going to get one for just this dish. But then I came across Onedio Co’s post on homemade chicken nuggets, and there was no deep fryer involved!

They made it look so simple with just a handful of ingredients! And here I was, thinking it would be rocket science, haha! I tried their recipe and the chicken nuggets turned out ahh-mazing! I guarantee we are having these at every party, get-together and game night from now on. They are really easy to make!

Make This Amazing Dessert (Works Really Well As Breakfast, Too…)

Over the years I’ve tried quite a bunch of dessert recipes – as well as breakfast ones, especially when it comes to the holidays. We’ve had so many cranberry cakes, pies and pastries that my husband threatened to move into the garage if we were having cranberry-anything this year… So I gave in and decided to try something totally different.

There are no cranberries, or any berries, involved in this recipe. I think it’s refreshing, even though some of you may feel gingerbread is kind of a “safe” flavor for the holidays, too. However, I thought this cheesecake looked adorable with those little gingerbread men on top, so I decided to give it a test run.

I have to say, I don’t miss the cranberries at all! This cake turned out super flavorful and yummy, and I am SO having this for breakfast on Christmas morning! I might even make this my regular breakfast dish… but don’t tell the kids I said that. And who says you can only make this for Christmas? Not, I!

Quick Tip: If you’d like to make this look “less Christmassy”, leave out the gingerbread men.

Is This Your Grandmother’s Recipe?

I’m sure we all feel that our grandmothers are the best cooks and bakers the world has ever seen. There is something magical about their cooking, isn’t there? They hardly ever use any special ingredients, just the very everyday stuff you can always find in your pantry. Yet, they come up with the most amazing dishes, cakes and treats you could ever think of.

My grandma was just like that. She lived to be 97 and I know she saw some hard times, too, so that must have been one of the reasons why she learned to be very creative with her recipes. This cookie recipe instantly reminded me of her. She used to make cookies very similar to these, and the whole family loved them.

Six ingredients is all you need to make these and chances are, you probably already have these at hand. Some people consider these “holiday cookies” and I have to admit, I always make these during the holidays. However, these are so delicious they deserve to be enjoyed year ’round!

Quick Tip: This recipe makes about 20-25 cookies (of course, depending on the shape and size of your cookie cutters).

No Napkins Needed – You’ll Want To Lick Your Fingers Clean

When I was little, my grandmother used to make these amazing sticky buns almost every week. She would always come over and bring us some, and I guess that’s why my mother never made them herself. When my grandmother passed away and we were going through her belongings, we came across her recipe. It was handwritten, and unfortunately so worn out that we couldn’t make of all the ingredients and amounts.

But a couple of years later my Mom got another recipe from her neighbor – she said they tasted exactly like grandma’s sticky buns and she was so happy, it made her cry. Of course I had to have the recipe immediately so that I could give it a go myself!

Oh my goodness. These turned out so amazing that I couldn’t even believe it! I made another batch the next week, but instead of the caramel pecan topping I added a sugar glaze. They are delicious either way!

Quick Tip: Omit the pecans if you’re not a fan!

Cookies are my favorite treats. I have mentioned that so many times in the past, but it is absolutely true. They are easy to carry around, have loads of fun toppings and are full of flavor and deliciousness. My favorite are classic chocolate chip cookies, but every now and then I like to venture into something new, specifically a new flavor. I have tried sugar cookies, lemon cookies, red velvet cookies, oatmeal cookies and so many more. They are all great, but sometimes I like to get even more adventurous.

These cookies here are a twist on my classic chocolate chip cookie. They have loads of chocolate chips, but on top of that have oats, cornflakes, coconut and pecans. With all this deliciousness in one cookie, you will be hooked after the first bite. Not to mention, if you eat a few of these, you can practically count it as a meal! Full of protein and chocolate, you cannot go wrong. These are so easy to assemble and in return you will get some big hearty cookies full of flavor and the perfect texture. You will see how easy these are to prepare and will get hooked on making these. Your family will love you for it, too!

Everyone loves brownies and cheesecake. I don’t know anyone who would turn down either. Now you can have the best of both worlds with these decadent goodies.

These are easy to make and would be great to serve at the ladies luncheon, as an after dinner dessert or just as a mid-morning snack. They will make everyone happy and keep them coming back for more, for sure!

Hi, everyone! So, I’m guessing that most of you enjoy eating macaroni and cheese, right? I mean, we make it for our kids, we make it for supper, we eat leftovers of it for lunch. Mac and cheese is very versatile. There are a ton of ways that it can be prepared.

Today, I’ll be giving you a recipe for a traditional baked macaroni and cheese dish. There are no fancy ingredients, just a pan full of comforting goodness. I really like this recipe because it’s easy to make and the top of the mac and cheese comes out crispy and browned. Yummo!

Quick Tip: Add your favorite bread crumbs to the top of the mac and cheese before baking. I use the heels of bread and just give them a whirl in the blender.
