This Praline Pecan Cheesecake really is worthy of being on most any Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner table, or another special occasion. The cheesecake would be plenty good enough by itself, but that praline topping really puts it over the top. I had had pralines plenty of times, and they make for a nice little Southern treat by themselves. But it turns out that that nutty, sweet flavor complements the taste and texture of pumpkin rather nicely.

This may not be the quickest and easiest cheesecake recipe ever, but the instructions are pretty straightforward. And the end result is most definitely worth the effort! I can’t even tell you how many “ooh’s” and “aah’s” I got when I brought this to the dinner table – and every single one of my guests were begging for the recipe.

Quick tip: Remove excess moisture from pumpkin by draining it on paper towels.

I am a huge fan of Asian cuisine. I love all the exotic flavors, spicy dishes and the healthy, fresh ingredients. Whenever I come across a new Asian restaurant, I will definitely clear my schedule and step in for a delicious meal. Unfortunately, there are no Asian places nearby where I live. For a long time I was afraid to try and cook anything like this at home – I thought it would be way too complicated. I was so wrong!

Simple to make, yet a tasty flavor vacation: It’s Slow Cooker Chicken Teriyaki. No need to go the takeout route when you can make this at home so easily! It really is amazing, how simple it is to put so many delicious Asian dishes together. Just throw a few things in the slow cooker, cook some rice, steam the veggies you want to use, and you have an easy, tasty full meal.

Quick tip: This meal isn’t perfect without chopsticks!

This Dorito Taco Bake recipe looks very festive and has plenty of lively flavor. It’s also a very quick recipe; the prep and baking shouldn’t take you more than an hour. I have to say, a recipe like this is about as family-friendly as it gets. It’s also a rather versatile recipe, with plenty of possible substitutions and optional extras. I have to admit, it may not be the healthiest recipe in the world (at least not as-is), but the kids will love it, and I imagine that you will find a lot to enjoy about it as well (particularly on one of those busy midweek nights).

If you want to lighten this recipe up a bit, you can substitute ground turkey for the ground beef or go with low-fat cheese and sour cream. You can also add a layer of refried beans, if you like, or go with tortilla chips instead of Doritos for a bit of a lighter flavor. If you want to experiment with the texture of the dish a bit, you can try baking the crescent rolls for a few minutes before putting the other ingredients in there or hold off on adding the chips until the last 10 minutes of baking.

Quick tip: Use a 9×13 inch glass baking dish for best results.

Do you feel like you’ve tried every possible side dish recipe on the Earth? Or maybe you just don’t like to spend hours preparing for a side, when the main course itself is taking time. Whatever the case, we have found the perfect solution for you!

Sweet potatoes are great with most any meal, though they are a particularly common side dish for Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. This recipe for Slow Cooker Sweet Potatoes With Bacon is an easy but flavorful one, and that’s why I can’t wait for a special occasion to make it! This should go nicely with turkey, ham, chicken, or even other types of pork. That blend of sweet, savory, and salty is just irresistible to me. Just throw this in the Crock-Pot in the morning, and you can have it ready in time for dinner with no trouble at all.

Quick tip: Want to make this vegan? Omit the bacon and use vegetable margarine instead of butter.

They’re like chewy cookies and a butter cake rolled into one. And these White Chocolate Snickerdoodle Blondies are chock full of all of the great flavors of the fall and holiday baking season. I loved how moist and flavorful these were. And with only 15 minutes to prep (a total of two hours time to make, including cooling time), a recipe that freezes well (and keeps well in the refrigerator), and a yield of 20-24 bars per batch, it’s the perfect sort of dessert for a party or large family gathering.

You actually can use a 9 x 9, 11 x 7, or 9 x 13 pan to make these, though 11″ x 7″ seems to be the best fit for a “happy medium” thickness. But, you know, I’m a sucker for thick bars so I always choose my baking pan accordingly!

Quick tip: Cut into bite-sized pieces and freeze for a quick and delicious treat with your coffee, whenever you want one!

Hey, who doesn’t like a good taco or burrito, every now and then, but sometimes, particularly during the cooler months, a hearty soup just hits the spot better. This Beefy Mexican Rice Soup brings all of that great Mexican-style flavor in a form that’s great for warming you up on a cold but busy midweek night. It’s exactly what you need when you don’t have the time to spend your whole day in the kitchen!

I have a “Mexican night” at home regularly, but it can take a little creativity to keep things fresh. This is a great recipe for fall and winter, and how can you beat something that makes this much and is ready in an hour and fifteen minutes? This soup is a cinch to make and it is guaranteed to become a family favorite. Plus, we all know how soups only get better after a day or two, so make sure you have enough for leftovers!
