• Just try and stop at one! Salted Cracker Candy is beyond addictive. Buttery caramel is baked into flaky saltine crackers, topped with a layer of chocolate and a generous sprinkle of sea salt, for that sweet and salty combo. It's only four ingredients that you probably already have, but heed my warning, this never lasts long.

    Salted Cracker Candy

    After dinner, do you crave something sweet? Ever find that there are only ingredients in your cupboards and zero actual ready-to-eat snacks lying around? Unless you count chocolate chips as a treat. Salted Cracker Candy is ALWAYS my go-to in a pinch. It's super easy and it is beyond good. Four ingredients to dessert dreamland.

  • Hands up if Grandma's recipes were your favourite! I never had my grandma's version of these Butterscotch Layered Rice Krispie Squares, but my mom and her sisters have been sharing all their childhood favourites since she passed away. This sweet treat will remind you of a cross between confetti squares and rice crispy bars and is delicious!

    Butterscotch layered Rice Krispie Squares

    I miss my grandma. It'll be exactly six months tomorrow that she passed away. And tomorrow would've been her birthday. It seems like yesterday we were sitting in her kitchen, finishing lunch with a helping of whichever dessert she'd just made. She made a lot of delicious sweets, but Butterscotch Layered Rice Krispie Squares was a treat I had never had, before now.

  • Let's be honest, the best part of a salad is ____________ (fill in the blank). For me, it's the dressing, the extra cheese and of course the croutons! There's nothing quite as good as a bite of salad that ends with the crunch of a really good crouton. These Homemade Texas Toast Croutons are the perfect mix of light, crispy & totally irresistible. I'd eat these by the handful if I wasn't trying to make better choices. I bet you would too!

    Homemade Texas Toast Croutons

    There are a few things, in my mind, that truly make a salad. One is the dressing, I think this is a given. It's what pulls all the ingredients together. Then there's the cheese, I can't think of the last salad (coleslaw doesn't count) I ate that didn't have cheese in it. And then you'll need to top it with a crispy crunchy crouton, just like these Homemade Texas Toast Croutons.

  • Sausage & Crispy Brussel Sprout Flatbread is a combination so good, it's crazy! I sat on my kitchen floor counting down the 14 minutes for this to bake. Crispy Brussel Sprouts get toasted to perfection, complimented by juicy sweety drop peppers (a must!), creamy goat cheese and fennel sausage. OMG, I'm drooling just thinking about it. My only dilemma is whether I should call this an appetizer or a meal.

    Sausage & Crispy Brussel Sprout Flatbread

    You guys! I literally sat on my floor, in front of my oven watching this Sausage & Crispy Brussel Sprout Flatbread bake. I sat there like a little kid watching cookies, or like every baker on the Great British Baking Show at one point or another. And watched and waited, checked the timer and waited some more. Really, it was only 14 minutes, but it felt like a lifetime. I could not wait to sink my teeth into this flatbread and it was so worth the wait! This is crazy good.

  • Homemade caesar dressing, pan fried crispy salt and pepper breadcrumbs and mushrooms makes this version the king of all caesars. One bite, and I'm sure you'll agree, this is the only way to eat this side dish. Caesar Salad with Mushrooms and Crispy Breadcrumbs is a worthy update to the classic.

    Caesar Salad with Mushrooms and Crispy Breadcrumbs

    When I'm at a restaurant, I generally choose the caesar when offered a side. Of the three usual options, caesar is my go-to. It's not as filling as the soup and the side salad is, well, boring. Now, a good caesar salad in my opinion has to have fresh crunchy greens, a garlicky dressing, bacon and loads of parmesan, Caesar Salad with Mushrooms and Crispy Breadcrumbs takes my favourite salad, one step further. The addition of fresh mushrooms is incredible. I also like to top the whole thing with crispy salt and pepper breadcrumbs for extra crunch in every bite.
