Tried and True Recipes
Not only are these my readers favorite recipes but also my family’s as well.
#10 – Jazz Up Canned Cranberry Sauce Recipe
If you need a simple and quick Canned Cranberry Sauce Recipe, then look no further. Canned cranberry sauce never tasted this amazing with just a few additional ingredients, and it’s shocking how delicious this hack version tastes with a few yummy ingredients. The beauty of this recipe is you can make it year round!
#9 – Simple Punch Recipe for Mother’s Day
Who doesn’t love a Simple Punch Recipe for Mother’s Day? Well, I thought I would share a sweet and delicious fruit drink that my husband made when we first got married. I love that it is good either with or without alcohol, it is up to you which version you prefer.
#8 – Air Fryer Churros
Make these easy, healthy, and homemade Air Fryer Churros. Make the churros in the air fryer, then roll them in a cinnamon sugar topping. These are delicious alternatives to the traditional deep-fried churros recipe.
#7 – The Best Lemon Sour Cream Pie
This is the Best Lemon Sour Cream Pie recipe. This lemon pie has a rich, smooth lemon flavor similar to my favorite English Lemon Curd recipe. Of course, this homemade pie has sour cream, which mellows the sweetness and creates a luscious taste.
#6 – Warm Brussel Sprout Salad
This Warm Brussel Sprout Salad recipe is seriously delicious! It’s got brussels sprouts, creamy avocado, orzo pasta, a drizzle of maple syrup, a dash of cognac, and, the best part, candied bacon. These flavors come together so perfectly. Whether you want a side dish or a warm salad, this one’s a keeper!
#5 – The Best Crunchy Crispy Chocolate Chip Cookie
I want to shout it from every rooftop that I finally have the Best Crunchy, Crispy Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe. If you enjoy a thick, crispy chocolate chip cookie, then this recipe is perfect for you. Every bite guarantees an explosion of chocolate chips accompanied by a satisfying crunch. This recipe stands out from the rest as it produces exceptionally hard chocolate chip cookies. It’s a cookie for those who truly adore thick and crunchy cookies.
#4 – Crinkle Cake (with Phyllo Dough)
This delightful Crinkle Cake with Phyllo Dough is a simple culinary masterpiece that’s all the rage in the baking community. Experience this delicious dessert, a blend of crispy, flaky layers of phyllo dough with the sweet, indulgent flavors of crinkle cake, creating a dessert that’s not just delicious but also creamy with an egg custard.
This Caramel Chex Mix Recipe has been a family favorite for a long time. Imagine a delicious mix of caramel popcorn, Corn Chex, peanuts, and crunchy chow mein noodles, all generously coated in a sweet, sugary caramel sauce. It’s a treat that combines different textures and flavors for a truly irresistible snack.
#2 – Easy Chicken in Electric Skillet Recipe
I stumbled upon this Easy Chicken in Electric Skillet Recipe while rushing to make dinner for my husband. It’s a chicken recipe that’s tender and moist with a rich gravy sauce. You can use chicken breasts or boneless chicken thighs for this recipe.
Here’s my quick and easy Strawberry Mochi Recipe that uses sweet rice flour and fresh strawberries. Pop the mochiko batter in the microwave to make the perfect mochi, and wrap the layer around a strawberry. Yes, it’s that easy to make. There is no bean mixture or ice cream, making it a simpler recipe.
