As American as apple pie…? I don’t know about you, but it’s been a good long while since I had an apple pie. Much less made one. And being as I’m Texas girl? I’ll stick with these Baked Caramel Apple Pie Taquitos!
Homemade apple pie filling is rolled up together with a creamy caramel filling and then dusted with cinnamon sugar for a perfectly simple take on apple pie, Tex-Mex style! These apple pie bites of goodness would be great as a part of breakfast (or brunch), or as dessert…

I’ve got to say… I’ve been holding off on making chicken wings for a lot of reasons. Mostly because I don’t like to eat meat off the bone, and also it can be pretty tricky to make wings in a better-for-you way. That’s probably because most wings are deep fried and the closest thing I have to that is an air-fryer which isn’t quite the same.
I came across a little trick though that helps baked chicken get nice and crispy brown on the outside and yet still juicy on the inside. So, these aren’t ‘battered’ boneless wings but they are still crisp and loaded with intense garlic and parmesan flavor!…

If you’ve never had a lemon pudding cake, you don’t know what you’re missing. It’s basically a lemon cobbler; delicious scratch made lemon pudding as the base with a homemade lemon cake batter on top that bakes to a gooey lemon dessert that is as sweet as it is sassy.
I lightened this tasty lemon treat up by subbing a lot of the sugar for natural sweetener. I like to use a cup-for-cup stevia based sweetener, but any sort you favor should work just fine. The unsweetened almond milk is also a good milk alternative for baking since it saves calories and comes out tasting great…

Okay, so I’ve been trying to circulate this Everything Chicken here for a few months now. For whatever reason the day, time, lighting, etc has never lined up to allow me to do so. Today, I set myself a goal specifically to make this chicken and get this recipe in your hot little hands. Finally.
This Everything Chicken & Green Onion Cream Cheese Sauce is to-die-for. It’s one of the most simple chicken recipes to make, looks high end, and tastes absolutely amazing. Everyone who has tried it, has loved it. So much so, that it’s basically in the standard rotation here at my house…

We’re only on day two of Austin’s ‘shelter in place’ orders and it already seems like we’ve been stuck inside for a couple of months already. Though, that’s probably because of the self-quarantine that most of us had already been on for the weeks leading up to the shelter in place. Somehow amidst all the chaos my family was able to get our hands on enough pantry staples and frozen foods to last for the duration.
With that in mind, I’m doing my best to stick to recipes that are not only delicious and nutritious, but also that are made with simple ingredients that most should have on hand or that are easy to swap for alternatives! This Skinny 'Oatmeal Cookie' Baked Amish Oatmeal is exactly that…

Sometimes it’s okay to play with your food. I for one, love to play with mine. I like to put fun twists on classics. Shepherd’s pie is one of my family favorites, especially as we roll into March and get in closer to St. Patricks’s Day. These Shepherd's Pie Stuffed Twice Baked Potatoes are based on a couple of my favorite traditional recipes that were merged together.
I would say these potatoes are a cross between a loaded baked potato, twice baked potatoes, and overstuffed potato skins. One serving is plenty filling and it’s a really fun way to enjoy your very own individual shepherds pie…
