It's downright delicious. Now Trending There’s more than one way to make lasagna.

Peach Upside-Down Cookies

4 weeks ago | tasteofhome.com | Lauren Habermehl

Peach season never lasts long enough. It always seems there are just a handful of days in the year when you can head to your local grocer or farmers market and find perfectly ripe, juicy, aromatic peaches on demand. During the other 360-ish days of the year, you either can’t find peaches at all or they’re far from peak ripeness.
Einspanner Coffee

1 month ago | tasteofhome.com | Lauren Habermehl

I don’t often leave home in the morning to go to the coffee shop. I enjoy the morning ritual of making a latte at home in my favorite mug using beans from my favorite coffee brand. Plus, not spending $5 to $8 every day for a fancy coffee shop drink has its appeal, too. However, when I’m traveling, visiting local coffee shops is one of my favorite things to do.

Strawberry Pretzel Salad Dip

1 month ago | tasteofhome.com | Lauren Habermehl

Nothing screams Midwest quite like a fluffy “salad” or dip featuring Cool Whip. Strawberry pretzel salad is one of the most classic midwestern salads (or midwestern desserts, if you prefer to categorize it that way) you can find, and that’s why the dip version is also a mainstay at cookouts, parties and potlucks throughout the Midwest once summertime hits.
Copycat Panera Bacon Turkey Bravo

1 month ago | tasteofhome.com | Lauren Habermehl |Margaret Knoebel

Panera Bread’s menu is a constantly evolving beast. What began as a simple soup, sandwich and salad cafe has morphed over the years to include pasta (hello, Panera mac and cheese), flatbread, chicken sandwiches, grain bowls, smoothies and more. One of our all-time favorites, however, has to be the bacon turkey Bravo sandwich. This fan-favorite item briefly disappeared from the menu in 2024, and, out of pure panic, we created a copycat Panera bacon turkey Bravo recipe to ease the pain.

Mango Cake

Mangoes, mangoes and more mangoes make this the best mango cake in town. It’s made up of three layers of bouncy sponge cake topped with a homemade mango filling that’s made from, yes, fresh mangoes—no canned stuff here! Fluffy cream cheese frosting is spread all over the cake, and then more fresh mangoes are sliced and decorated on top. This cake is tropical, tangy and light, with bursts of concentrated mango that taste like being at the beach on the sunniest summer day.
