Fancy cakes swirled with frosting, piped with roses and ombre hued are always a treat for the eyes and belly, but if you’re time is limited, or you just don’t have the energy, snack cakes are where it’s at. “Easy and unfussy” is like a siren call to us lazy, er – time challenged – bakers and a cake recipe that doesn’t require too much effort and can be made in one bowl — with or without an electric mixer is like striking gold. This One-Bowl Applesauce Walnut Snack Cake is snacking nirvana!
As a kid, shepherd’s pie was one of my favorite meals. What’s not to love? Hearty, ground beef with vegetables and a bit of gravy, slathered in creamy mashed potatoes… Heaven, right? Homestyle Shepherd’s Pie is about as “comfort food” as you can get!
Granola is good post-hurricane food. It’s shelf stable, calorie-dense and tastes great! Before Irma, while I was doing my storm prep, I bought several packages of granola bars, thinking they’d make good breakfasts or snacks during a time I knew we wouldn’t have power (or refrigeration). They were good. These Coconut Almond Granola Bars are better.
Do you ever find yourself craving the sweet, savory unctuousness of caramelized onions? I do.

But if I’m honest, it’s the flavor — that slightly honeyed jamminess in every spoonful that makes me want more and if you’ve never made them before, here’s a simple guide on How To Caramelize Onions.
Fish tacos are a weeknight staple for several reasons, not the least of which is how simple they are to make. Beyond simplicity, they’re also pretty inexpensive and of course delicious. These Crispy Baked Fish Tacos also happen to be pretty healthful as well — bonus.
