If you want a savory, creamy soup that will keep you warm on a cold winter night, this Broccoli Cheddar Soup recipe is a good choice. You can have it done in a little over an hour, and given what it is, it’s readily expandable, as needed. These are my favorite kind of recipes; you can easily make enough to have leftovers – and they keep getting even tastier after a day or two!

I probably am a bit biased in favor of summer, especially considering how hot it can be, where I am. Call it a holdover from my childhood, when summer meant long days, lengthy vacation, and plenty of time at the beach or by the pool. Fact is, though, fall and winter have a lot of great things to offer: football, Halloween, more moderate temperatures, Christmas… and great soup recipes like this.

Quick tip: Instead of chicken stock you can try vegetable stock.

It’s safe to say that this recipe for Baked Ham & Cheese Party Wraps is meant for sharing. As-is, the recipe makes a dozen delicious wraps, topped with a delicious sweet & savory glaze. And especially considering that it’s party food (or VERY hearty snack food), it’s not exactly the most involved recipe in the world.

Ham and cheese makes for a good combination for a simple lunch or for party food. You may not bother with simple sandwiches again, though, once you see how easy it is to put these packed swirls of deliciousness. You can also very easily change the recipe a bit each time you make these – add some of your favorite fresh herbs, or use a little hot sauce in the glaze for a spicier touch!

If you want a cake that is simple to make but moist, buttery, and all-around yummy, consider trying Elvis Presley’s Favorite Pound Cake. You have to give the cake a little time to cool, but with only 20 minutes of active time, it’s a low-hassle recipe and well worth the wait. Just put on an old record and the time will go by before you know it! Elvis had some interesting tastes, but he knew good comfort food when he saw it. He also knew how to sing like an angel 🙂

Give this pound cake recipe a try, and it may just become your favorite, too. After all, how could you dislike something that The King of Rock’n’ Roll himself endorsed? This cake is so versatile you could tone it up or down depending on the occasion. My favorite way of serving it is with plenty of white sugar frosting!

You can’t go wrong with white sugar frosting!

Oh, I am definitely making a double batch, you can count on it!

If you want something a bit fancier than basic mashed potatoes for a good side dish, this Loaded Mashed Potato Casserole may be just right for you. It’s easy to make and loaded with savory flavor.

Hey, sometimes, mashed potatoes are just fine; other times, you want something a little more than that. This is a good dish when you’re in the latter situation. Oh, and did I mention it has cheese and plenty of bacon? Yummy! I can’t think of a dish that wouldn’t be twice as delicious when you add bacon in it – except maybe oatmeal, but I haven’t tried it yet so who knows? Haha!

The first time I ever made this it was a special occasion. My husband loved it so much that he now wants me to make it every week! He has even promised to help me out in the kitchen if I don’t have the time to do it by myself. What I didn’t tell him was that I loved this so much I couldn’t live without having this at least once a week!

Quick tip: By adding a little more bacon you could serve this for lunch as it is!

Coffee cake is a sweet tooth’s best friend, because it can literally be eaten at any time of day.  Whether you serve it at breakfast with a side of fluffy eggs, or with afternoon coffee/tea, this recipe, is sure to please. Keep this cake covered, as to keep it moist.  It can even be refrigerated, to preserve it longer… but instinct tells me, you may not have that problem after tasting it!

When making the topping, I suggest you add the flour gradually. Depending on where you live you may need less or more flour to make a nice, moist crumb topping. Or maybe you like it a bit more on the dry side, I know that’s how I prefer my coffee cake topping! That’s why I always make sure I use enough flour.

Who would’ve thought making a delicious dessert could be this simple? You’ll only need seven ingredients, a basic mixer, an 8″ x 8″ baking pan, some parchment paper, and a sugar shaker to bake this delicious Magic Custard Cake from scratch. And you get to have the taste of custard and cake in one rather easy-to-make dessert. The holiday season is here, and we’re all getting ready to prepare great meals for our family. The last thing you need is a dessert that takes two hours to put together! Well, this recipe is proof possible that “from scratch” doesn’t always equal “difficult,” and “simple” doesn’t always equal “blah” or “ho-hum.”

As a lover of both cakes and custards, I thoroughly enjoyed baking and sampling something that is such an excellent blend of both. This cake really does melt in your mouth. It’s moist and creamy and doesn’t leave you feeling unsatisfied.

If you’re in need of a great dessert experience I highly recommend eating this cake. Trust me, you won’t regret it!

This is every kid’s favorite meal!

If you are looking for an easy, creamy casserole to make for dinner, this Chicken Alfredo Casserole recipe is a good choice.

It brings gourmet flavor to your dinner table without much hassle or time investment. I have a box full of go-to recipes for those busy days when I want to serve something nice but don’t have the time to slave away in the kitchen. This is one of those recipes. Chicken Alfredo has a fancy name, and if you like creamy, cheese-rich dishes, it does sport great Italian-style flavor.

Making it into a casserole is a great way to speed up the process and reduce the hassle. After all, you’ve probably got hungry kids and family members to feed, right? Who wants to listen to them howl about how hungry they are any longer than you have too? Not me!

So, I’m always thankful for recipes like this because it’s easy to make, tastes good, and very filling. Everyone is usually happy with it, too! This includes my picky eater son 🙂
