This Dairy-Free Peachy French Toast is a lovely sweet treat that also (provided that you choose the right bread) manages to be entirely non-GMO, gluten-free, and lactose-free. It’s also baked instead of fried, making it lighter and lower on the hassle than most forms of french toast. This is properly a breakfast item, though I think it’s nice for a dessert most any time of day. It’s a great idea if someone in your family has to be on a restricted diet but still would like something sweet now and then.

Mix the peach slices with the sugar ahead of time, and you can slap this together in no time. Just be sure to flip the bread about halfway through the baking process, and you’ll have no trouble putting this together. Though I like this dessert as-is, if you want to give this recipe more of a peaches & cream flavor, while still keeping it dairy-free, add a bit of Silk vanilla yogurt to the topping at the end.

Quick tip: Check the ingredient labels to make sure the bread you are using is lactose-free.

If you are looking for something low-hassle to put together for a midweek dinner, this Easy Pizza Casserole is a good option. It’s simple to put together and bakes in under half an hour. It’s also easily expanded, if you want to use it for something like a large potluck. It doesn’t get much easier than seven ingredients and a sub-half-hour bake time. If your family likes pizza, they’ll enjoy this casserole.  As-is, it makes six to eight servings.

Of course, if you need more than that, you can readily double, likely even triple, the recipe without too much trouble. It also happens to be rather versatile. You could make this twice a week with small alterations, and it’ll be like a whole new dish!

Why settle for just canned beans, when you can make something like these Home-Style Cheesy Baked Beans with a nice blend of beans, cheddar, and bacon?  It’s easy to make and bakes in about an hour.

Hey, I know that there’s a reason why those canned baked beans and pork & beans are so popular by themselves.  They certainly make for a nice quick side when you’re in an extreme rush or are in a setting where cooking anything super-fancy isn’t necessarily an option (I have been on a few camping trips in my day, believe it or not).  But if you are at home and have a little time for the oven to work its magic, why settle just for what is in a can, when you can make something so much more flavor rich (not to mention vitamin- and fiber-rich)–and make it so easily as this?

Quick tip:

Are you looking for a new recipe to boost up your dinner routine? If you need a fairly simple side dish and don’t care for the usual deep-fried options, consider making a batch of these Oven-Baked Sweet Potato Fries.  They are a fair bit lighter than your usual French fries and can be made in well under an hour.

Though I have eaten plenty of “regular” French fries in my time, I always thought that sweet potato fries had a richer flavor, and despite having a rather Southern character, they go well with main dishes from a wide variety of culinary backgrounds.  The carbs in them are also considered to be healthier, and by baking them instead of frying them, you can minimize the “bad” fats as well, without compromising the richness of flavor.
