It’s finally cinnamon roll season again. I know many of you enjoy cinnamon rolls throughout the year, but personally, I always associate cinnamon rolls with the cooler months. Cinnamon rolls were my favorite holiday breakfast. They always bring back the best memories from childhood. Plus, no one can deny that a really YUMMY cinnamon roll tastes amazing. When my brothers and I were younger, the cinnamon rolls we baked were from a can, but we still loved them....

Cocktail Saturday has really become my favorite recipe of the week. These drinks are just so much fun and I love creating them for you guys. Today’s berry-filled bourbon (or tequila) smash is probably the most “me” drink. Or the drink I’d remake for myself time and time again. Ok well, actually? I’d also do this spicy cucumber margarita time and time again as well. Oh, and the (extra) dirty horchata too....

When I’m looking for simple yet satisfying veggie side dish recipes to go along with a meal, I turn to glazed carrots, parmesan zucchini or this succulent braised cabbage. In my opinion, cabbage is a totally underrated vegetable. It’s inexpensive, readily available year round and is totally delicious when prepared properly. This braised cabbage is my family’s favorite way to eat cabbage. The long cooking time transforms the cabbage into a tender and flavorful side dish that is mild enough for even the kids to enjoy....

I was not planning on posting this today, but then I thought “why the heck not?”. Two days of brown butter can never be a bad thing, especially when one is sweet and the other is savory. It is kind of perfect actually. That and like I said yesterday, I have brown butter on the brain. Expect more because I promise it is coming. I read somewhere in one of my millions of magazines I subscribe to that I let sit in a drawer for weeks upon weeks and then finally quickly flip through when I realize I am a month behind, that lobster is in season in September....

Happiest Friday everyone! We’re talking more pie today because…tis the season! Clearly, I’m loving that the holidays are already in full swing and it’s not even the middle of November. The snow today just gives things a magical holiday feel and I couldn’t love it more. I’m also really loving this pie. It took me many, many tries to get it just right for you guys, but here we are!...

I know, this recipe is such a typical HBH recipe, but you guys? I just could not help myself. When the thought of a browned butter, cinnamon, and peach filled Dutch baby came to mind a few weeks ago, I knew I had to make it, and soon. I really cannot even begin to explain just how good this Dutch baby pancake is. Let’s put it this way, if I could, I would be making this thrice weekly until peach season is over....

I love great salad recipes, and some of my favorites include Waldorf salad, chicken pasta salad, ahi tuna salad, Asian cucumber salad and Tuscan kale salad. This shaved Brussels sprouts salad is perfect for the cold weather months and is filling, healthy and perfect as a light meal or side dish for a holiday dinner. Brussels Sprout Salad Ingredients How Do You Make Brussels Sprouts Salad? Tips For The Perfect Salad To save on prep time, you can buy pre-cooked bacon....

Before I left Colorado I was in a mad dash to use up all of the contents in my fridge. With all of the cherries and berries I had, and remembering how I’d been wanting to make a fruit crisp for a while now, I figured this to be the perfect time to create a crisp with what I had on hand. And now, after making this several times, I think I’ve just about perfected the recipe....

When I’m looking for a super fast meal that I know the whole family will eat, I turn to favorites such as garlic butter chicken and mushrooms, grilled scallops and this super simple sausage and cabbage dish. Cabbage And Sausage Skillet Ingredients To make a cabbage and sausage skillet for dinner tonight, you will need olive oil, smoked sausage, butter, onion, garlic, cabbage, Cajun seasoning, salt, black pepper and parsley....

Capsicum Sambar is an easy and delicious South Indian Tamil style sambar made with green bell peppers. Traditionally sambar is made with country vegetables like shallots, drumsticks, brinjals, radish, pumpkin or bottle gourd. But sambar being a lentil based curry, it tastes as good with English vegetables too. Most of the times I also end up making carrot sambar, potato sambar and of course, kudaimilagai sambar too. It tastes great with just some hot rice and a dollop of ghee, but also can be served as a side dish for idli, dosa, pongal or even chapati....

I’ve know for weeks that today’s recipe would be something warm and cozy to sip on today. The weather is chilly, maybe it’s even snowing, you’re shopping, decorating, and all around just ringing in the holiday season. Or at least this is the picture I have painted in my head. If you’re on the couch today taking is easy after yesterday, that totally understandable too. Either way, a steaming hot caramel mocha is perfection for all occasions....

HEYY! Let’s have a Charred Corn and Zucchini Enchilada Pasta Salad Sunday?!?!? You down with that? K, COOOOLLLLL! ? ? It’s back to school month and even though I’m no longer in school, I always think of this time of the year as “back to school’ time. To me this may mean events like organizing my desk, getting new fall clothes, or even buying some fun “school” supplies…aka, the time of year where you actually have an excuse to organize, buy cute fall items, and cook up some easy, but delicious dinners for busy weeknights....

Baked meatballs are comfort food at its finest. Serve your meatballs with a side of garlic knots and an antipasto salad for a complete meal. Meatballs are one of my all time favorite things to eat, and lucky for me, my kids love them too! This meatball bake is the ultimate meal for all the meatball lovers in your like, how could anyone resist that blanket of melted cheese?...

You can use cherry pie filling in so many different ways! Aside from the classic cherry pie, I use my homemade filling to make cream cheese danishes and cherry bars which are both always a hit. There’s nothing better than a fresh cherry pie! Canned pie filling has its uses, but homemade cherry pie filling has a much better taste than the store bought kind. This dessert recipe will take your homemade pies over the top, and everyone will be coming back for seconds....

Okay, before I even talk about this fun, delicious, crunchy, salad with feta cheese ALL over it I have to tell you about this watermelon. Here’s the deal, I started seeing watermelons in the store a few weeks ago, but told myself, “not yet, not yet, it is too early” and it indeed was too early, but about a week and halfish ago I gave in and bought one of those giant suckers....

If you scroll through the 3000+ recipes on this website, you will only find a handful of burger recipes. I’m not going to lie, I never make burgers. My thinking is that a good burger is a good burger. You need high-quality beef, cheese, and really good buns. Add any and all extras that you enjoy. Could be pickles, bacon, mayo, or nothing. A good cheeseburger is just that, simple and delicious....

It’s the first Friday of the new year, and some things never change – we’re again talking all things chocolate! I could have shared a handful of other recipes today, but I couldn’t let the first week of the new year pass without sharing something on the sweeter side. These are the perfect chocolate bars to indulge on this year. They still satisfy your sweet tooth, but instead of being packed with white flour and processed sugars, like our beloved December cookies, these bars are made with nutrient-rich ingredients: ground flax, sesame seeds, oats, and dark chocolate!...

Spring!! Spring is coming and I’m feeling all the excitement. But mainly, I’m just so excited to share these doughnuts! The only thing they actually have to do with spring is the fact that I made them for Easter. Whether that’s an Easter brunch, Easter dessert, or just some fun Easter baking, I LOVE them so much. Also, happy St.Patrick’s Day everyone! These could be equally great for today as well....

If you’re a peanut butter cup fan, you’ll adore this peanut butter chocolate fudge! It looks so impressive with all the layers but is actually quite easy to make. I serve it for Christmas along with other dessert recipes such as Oreo brownies, red velvet cookies, snowball cookies and peanut butter blossoms. Chocolate and peanut butter is a classic combination that just can’t be beat. When you put those flavors into fudge form, it’s even more delicious!...
