Our easy Banoffee Pie recipe is creamy, crunchy, gooey, and gone before you can say “save me a slice!” It’s quick to make, uses simple ingredients, and it tastes like something straight off a restaurant dessert cart. That golden river of dulce de leche oozing from the crust, the soft peaks of whipped cream, and the bananas tucked inside like treasure. This isn’t just dessert, it’s a showstopper.

Jamaican jerk seasoning is a versatile spice blend loaded with savory, spicy flavor that will perk up roasted meats, vegetables, and pasta dishes! I love using Jamaican jerk seasoning blend as a dry rub on chicken and pork. The blend of spices will add the flavor of the Caribbean, creating amazingly delicious dishes your whole family will love. We used our homemade jerk seasoning to make our Rastafarian Pasta.
Homemade Caramel Sauce Recipe

Our easy homemade Caramel Sauce is buttery and silky, with a deep caramel flavor and just the right touch of salt. Pour it over vanilla ice cream for a decadent treat, or spoon it over apple slices to transform them from a compromise into a real dessert. It’s wild what a little sugar, cream, and butter can do when they decide to get fancy. Caramel, as we know it, started coming together in the 1600s, when European candy makers began adding milk and fats to their melted sugar creations.

Our Mississippi Mud Cake recipe is rich and fudgy, stacked with gooey marshmallows and warm chocolate frosting from edge to edge. Chocolate lovers light up at the first bite, and it brings a little celebration to every table. This is the kind of decadent chocolate cake that makes people sneak seconds and swear it’s their first slice. Mississippi Mud Cake made its way into American kitchens in the 70s, and it didn’t take long to become a Southern favorite.
Easy Alfredo Sauce Recipe

Made with simple ingredients, our homemade Alfredo Sauce recipe is a creamy, cheesy, indulgent sauce that can be made in less time than it takes to cook the pasta for the dish. You can find many recipes on the Internet for this creamy white sauce, but I guarantee that my recipe will make the best homemade alfredo sauce you’ve ever had. I still remember the first time I tasted Fettuccine Alfredo at Mama Leone’s in New York City. And yes, it’s the one from the Billy Joel song.

Golden with crispy sides and a fluffy, airy center, our perfect Popovers recipe is light, satisfying, and downright irresistible.

Easy Pretzel Rolls Recipe

Salty and chewy with a tender, airy middle, our homemade Pretzel Rolls carry a deep, buttery flavor that lingers just long enough to make you reach for another. That warm, malty aroma drifts through the house and has everyone peeking into the kitchen like something’s ready, even if it isn’t. Pretzels trace back to 7th century European monks who shaped leftover dough into crossed praying arms and gave these pretiola (“little rewards”) to children for learning their prayers.
