There are some recipes that you just need to have on-hand. A good yellow cake is on the top of my list! I love making this yellow cake recipe with chocolate frosting, or during summer switching things up and making a lemon version. A must save for sure!
Nutella is all the rage these days. I honestly find it a little sweet for a breakfast kind of food, but I do enjoy it on a cake when I am already expecting a very sugary flavor.

I feel like all you need to do is read the title of this recipe to know that it is friggin delicious. A few months back, I would have never thought to eat scallops in a heavier cream sauce like this, but then an experience dining out where I had BAKED scallops in a lovely flavorful sauce just like this sold me for life! Scallops. Bacon. Cream. This recipe is a winner!
10 Minute Dinner Idea - Caprese Pasta Salad with Tortellini! This dinner is so delicious, it isn't even fair how easy it is to whip up. If you want a more sophisticated dinner on a week night where you don't have much time to whip something up, I would suggest giving this recipe a try!
The easiest ahi tuna steak recipe... just a quick sear on either side and you have dinner in minutes! One of my favorite dishes to make on a hot summer day since Ahi is so light and refreshing.
These shrimp spring rolls are something we made on a hot summer night in attempt to not have something too heavy. This is a thai and Vietnamese fusion, and you surely should make the peanut and siracha dipping sauces!!
This sour cream coffee cake is an absolute win for entertaining. This can absolutely impress as a brunch item, or is a fabulous recipe to use around the holidays. This cake is extremely easy and can be dressed up a little more with a fancy bundt pan. It is so moist and flavorful. The sour cream blends in and adds a savory side to compliment the sweet just perfectly!
A simple recipe for an apple chicken walnut salad. I added green onions, craisins (cranberry raisins), and walnuts. Enjoy it with a croissant or on a toasted baguette. I hope you enjoy this recipe!
Avocado recipes are super in right now. We are a big avocado family too... they were one of our toddler's first favorite foods, and my husband is Mexican and could basically live off of tacos and guacamole. One thing I had never really thought about before was using avocado in a sauce, but I have …
