A true Italian dish, this includes every spice you can think of, with a slew of healthy vegetables.  Add a homemade sauce, and now we’re talkin’ a cheesy-laden lasagna! This recipe serves 6-8 and only takes about 45 minutes to prep, but waiting to eat it could feel like a lifetime, with the smell in your kitchen. Make sure you let the lasagna cool for about 10 minutes – if you have the self control to do that…

These days when there are so many pre-made lasagna options available, we tend to forget how delicious this dish is when it’s made from scratch. Don’t get me wrong – I do use some of those lasagna packages myself, but occasionally I like to return to the old-fashioned way of making this. And it never fails! My husband said this is the best recipe I’ve ever made.

Quick tip: You could use chicken instead of sausage, if preferred.

Caramel has always been a deliciously creamy and delectable element to any recipe, but when it’s salted, the flavor profile rises to another level. Add a little chocolate, and you may just have an overload. This recipe makes one 9 x 13 inch dish of decadence, but careful, because it sure won’t last! These brownies are bursting with moist and chewy goodness, just make sure you remember to share!

These would be perfect for a potluck but I highly recommend making a double batch, or maybe even triple… These have a tendency of disappearing really fast, especially if you’re serving them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I always cut these brownies into bite-sized pieces, then freeze them. That way I can have a wonderful little treat with my coffee, whenever I want one!

Sure you can serve a regular loaf of bread before, or during dinner, but why do that, when you can stuff it chock full of chewy cheese and crispy bacon? I know, I know, it’s not fair that you’re probably reading this from a place you cannot have this touch your tongue this instant. I felt the same way… but breathe! Because it’s so easy to make, don’t worry, you won’t have to wait very long! So saddle up and get ready to roar with this cheesy pull apart bread and bacon galore!

This is one of the fastest bread recipes in town, and is ready within 15 minutes. It will probably only last about 15 seconds, though! This is the kind of bread that should be eaten on the spot, because it doesn’t always keep for too long. I hardly think anyone will have to worry about this one going stale, though. As our friends at Yummy.ph put it:

“Bring this to your next party! Guests will love pulling out the bread cubes—and all the cheesy goodness with them.”

Quick tip: Add some minced garlic if you’d like!

One of my favorite sweet treats during fall is caramel apples, and during the winter months, it’s fudge. So why not combine the two for the ultimate treat? Creamy fudge meets chewy caramel and the union is pure bliss. A unique fudge flavor, I guarantee no-one else at your parties will have thought of this one!

To be honest with you, I really was going to make this for a party. My mistake was that I had one bite – you know, just to try and see if they were tasty enough to serve for guests. Thirteen bites later I realized I couldn’t control myself! Fortunately there was still time to make a new batch, since these only take about 10 minutes to prepare and a couple of hours to chill. I had to ask my husband to keep an eye on me, so that I wouldn’t eat all of them!

You’ll Never Pull These Out of The Freezer Again!

Kids and adults alike, both love this cheesy, crispy appetizer, but rarely does anyone ever prepare them at home.  Now, this easy recipe can show you how to in minutes.

Unlike the store brand, these cheese sticks are actually baked, with a lighter crust, so they’re healthier AND tastier than those in the box you’re pulling from the freezer. The lumpia rolls also offer a crisper and flakier crust, which always equals extra yum! When my friend told me about these lumpia cheese sticks, I had no idea what she was talking about. Maybe I’ve been living under a rock but I didn’t know what lumpia was!

She made sure I would get it right away, so that I could make these wonderful appetizers. I added some sliced jalapenos because I knew my husband loves it – and these turned out a great hit! I swear he would have eaten only these for dinner! And who am I to judge, if you’d like to do the same thing.

Quick tip: Use a bit a water to seal the wrapper seam.

If you’ve never had this simple English treat, you’ve been missing out. Yorkshire pudding isn’t really pudding at all, but a puffed cake generally paired with meat and gravy. Simple to make, and ten-times better than your average dinner roll, these little bits of dough are known as Yorkshire pudding. They’re delicious, fast to make, and even faster to be eaten!

I absolutely love these and so does my husband! He had his doubts when I told him I was going to make pudding for lunch… Apparently he thought it was the regular kind, haha! I like to serve these with smoked salmon, sour cream, a little bit of fresh dill and some lemon juice. So incredibly tasty! My husband loves these with gravy – and I also always make these to go with a nice hearty beef stew!

When you’re having the busiest week of your life, simple recipes are a welcomed respite, from our long baked meats and slow cooked dishes. With a side dish as simple as this, you’ll have plenty of time to spend with the family. This only takes 2 minutes two prepared and about 20 minutes to bake, but the memories will stick with you! This can also serve as a perfect appetizer to your main course, as well.

This has been a lifesaver in our house on those days when the kids come home, starving (what is it about kids that makes them hungry ALL the time, huh?) and they just can’t wait for dinner. Just throw this in the oven – or better yet, let them help you make this! They will get their tummies full for a moment and you have saved the day – until dinner time gets closer…
