Chicken Gravy with a Carton of Broth

This is a simple yet completely delicious diner style gravy that doesn't require any roasted chicken drippings. So you can make mashed potatoes with gravy anytime the cravings strike without having to cook a whole chicken. In fact we most often serve it with a store-bought rotisserie chicken for a quick dinner.

You'll just need a good chicken base and packaged chicken stock along with a few other everyday ingredients.

And the best part is that you can have it ready in under 15 minutes! Plus you'll have the option to make it a creamy gravy with extra richness by adding just a little bit of cream.

It's a comforting, cozy, humble recipe with rich chicken flavor in each bite. There's just so much simple goodness to anticipate for dinner with this easy, must have chicken gravy recipe!

Decadent lemon pie made with a crisp graham cracker crust, a sweet and tangy, cream cheese infused, fresh lemon filling, and it's garnished with dollops of fluffy and clouds whipped cream atop.

It is similar to a key lime pie but no eggs required. This pie is truly a lemon lovers delight!

Why You'll Love This Lemon Pie

No bake option: This simple to make pie can also become a no-bake treat if you opt to go the route of a no-bake crust.

Versatility: You can also swap the crust out for various other cookie bases such as using vanilla wafers, biscotti cookies or gingersnaps. You could also make and almond flour type crust.

Then for the filling you may also opt to use lime juice and zest in place of lemon.

Storage life: It keeps well in the fridge for several days and this lemon icebox pie can even be frozen.

Crave-Worthy Pasta with Pesto Cream Sauce

While the recipe itself doesn't have a typical pesto sauce in it, it brings the elements of pesto compiled together in a cooked pasta dish plus an addition of a gloriously creamy sauce.

I love a good pesto with a rich olive oil, but just think of a pesto made with silky cream instead. Once you taste this be wondering why you hadn't made it this way before.

You only need a few ingredients to make this freshly flavorful dish. Plan on a simple prep, and if you want to upgrade it with a protein to make it heartier feel free to add one right into the pasta or pair alongside it.

The BEST Milkshake Recipe!

Now that summer has arrived my family is obsessed with these strawberry milkshakes!

They couldn't be quicker and easier to make, they need just a few ingredients, and they are a shortcut semi-homemade dessert (since they use store-bought ice cream).

Not to mention they are great way to use up seasonal strawberries and you'll find them to be one of the most refreshing treats on a hot sunny day.

Simply put these are completely and utterly delicious in every way!

Possible Variations

You can make them with a variety of different ice creams or fruit, or even try them with different jam.

• Ice Cream Flavors: Try them with cheesecake ice cream, blueberry, raspberry or vanilla ice cream.
• Fruit: Make this shake with a triple berry blend (strawberries, raspberries and blueberries), or use just blueberries, or even try them with something like cherries or mangos.
• Milk/cream substitute: Instead of using both milk and cream use 3/4 cup half and half.
• Healthier milkshake: For a healthier option try using a no sugar ice cream, and use low fat milk or a low calorie dairy free milk like almond milk in place of regular milk and cream.

A Simple Homemade Breakfast Sandwich

This is a classic breakfast sandwich with a few upgrades (hello herbs and cream!) plus a few simple swaps to make them faster (using stovetop scrambled eggs and pre-cooked meat like deli ham).

They are a classic morning comfort food and make a super satisfying lazy Saturday morning breakfast. They don't require any special cooking skill, and they are one of those breakfasts that everyone can agree on.

Plus I've shared lots of other options to switch them up including various filling ideas and cooking methods because this is the ever-so-versatile breakfast sandwich after all.

The key to the recipe is just that you don't walk away while they are toasting under the broiler and forget about them. I think we all have at least one memory of doing that to that blackened piece of garlic bread or what not. These are much too good to be wasted to charring.

Cannoli Dip

If you ask me I'd vote cannoli, tiramisu, and gelato are top ranking for best Italian desserts.  But each can be time consuming to make. So what to do in a hurry? Make a super simple and fast cannoli dip instead and pair it with a variety of sweet crackers.

Or if you want to go all out pair it with the homemade cannoli chips like I've done here. They are from my cannoli shell recipe but you don't need any special forms. Instead the dough is just cut into bite size triangles and deep fried for that perfectly crisp finish.

It's an exciting and unique variation on traditional cannoli and equally just as delicious. Light and fluffy cannoli dip paired with crisp and flakey cannoli chips are a dream come true! It's a party fav an loved by people of all ages.

Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup

Aren't most things better when they have the addition of cream? This chicken noodle soup is no exception.

It's very similar to the traditional homestyle chicken noodle soup just richer and creamier. And it's perfectly soul warming and satisfying.

This soup is so over-the-top delicious that it's easily worthy of the dinner rotation.

You'll find it's also a versatile soup. You can switch up the pasta, try different vegetables, or use a rotisserie chicken if that's what you've got on hand.

We love it served with beautifully browned, artisanal style fresh bread for dipping and a seasonal side salad.

Decorated Halloween Cupcakes

There are so many ways to decorate halloween cupcakes but I wanted to share something easy and a little more practical. You don't need frosting piping skills to decorate these and they are made with treats we all love!

And you have two choices of frosting flavors here. You can go for the standard vanilla or my personal favorite was the orange (that chocolate orange combo is quite delicious).

The cupcake batter is made in one bowl using a whisk, then you just need a hand mixer for the frosting. So it's a basic recipe with simple tools that makes delicious results! It may just become your go-to cupcake recipe in general and just change up the tint and decoration according to the holiday or occasion.

These are such a tempting Halloween treat in so many ways and they are the perfect thing to bring along to a party. Everyone will want to savor every chocolatey bite!

Chicken Noodle Soup with Corn and Bacon!

Can you add corn to chicken noodle soup? Absolutely and it makes such a delicious soup!

That's just what you get in this soup recipe. It's like chicken noodle soup upgraded with fresh juicy corn, plus we dot it in some bacon and blend in some cream for good measure.

It's also similar to a chowder, and it's adaptable to what you have on hand (as usual see ideas below). For instance you can replace bacon with ham or make this Pennsylvania Dutch style with homemade mini dumplings called rivels in place of noodles (making the soup completely from scratch!).

Pair it with a slice of buttered homemade bread and a simple garden fresh salad with a homemade herby ranch for the most comforting homestyle dinner!

Easy S'mores Pie Recipe

Are you ready for a new favorite pie? With this dessert, you get all the classic s'mores flavors blended into a three-layered incredibly decadent pie that's served perfectly chilled and refreshing!

Usually, we all think of s'mores as a summer dessert, but thanks to this pie you can have a s'mores dessert any day of the year when the craving strikes. I love taking it to Thanksgiving dinner, because you definitely need some chocolate to compliment the pumpkin pie. Plus, this is an easy pie to make ahead of time and doesn't require the oven!

It begins with a simple homemade graham cracker base (I include a hint of salt to balance out the sweetness of the pie), then it's layered with a silky smooth chocolate filling that melts in your mouth, and topped with a meringue (the kind that will remind you of fluffy marshmallows).

And last but not least—it's toasted to a stunning golden brown finish with a culinary torch!

The only difficult part of making this pie is waiting to dive in. There may just be a slice missing when you take it to the party, it's just too irresistible!
