  • Buddy the Elf-Inspired Breakfast Pancakes

    , ,

    This Buddy the Elf-inspired breakfast uses squiggly pancakes in place of pasta, making for a magical Christmas brunch. It’s way better than Buddy’s go-to meal in the movie, promise.

  • Baked Cinnamon Sugar Pumpkin Donuts

    ,

    Apple cider donuts get all the glory each fall, but pumpkin treats deserve more fanfare. Pumpkin donuts, specifically. The pureed gourd makes this dessert extra moist, which is complemented by a hearty jolt of cinnamon sugar to add some sweetness and spice. It’s well balanced, which is not what I can say about my diet…

  • Shortcut, Copycat Starbucks Pumpkin Scones (No Kneading!)

    , ,

    Hold up—did Starbucks discontinue the pumpkin scone?! I know I’m not the only one wondering this when, yet again, the coffee chain unveiled its fall lineup…sans vanilla-glazed treat. Heartbreakingly, it’s at least off the shelf for a second year, a fact Starbucks confirmed via tweet, while recommending grabbing a pumpkin cream cheese muffin instead. Sure,…

  • What to Serve with Biscuits and Gravy

    ,

    One of my mom’s specialties growing up was biscuits and gravy. (My mom’s recipe is a riff on Pioneer Woman’s, with extra Jimmy Dean sausage.) Whether they’re made from scratch or aided with a few shortcuts—hey, Pillsbury Grands are pretty good—the Southern staple is the kind of soul-satisfying meal that’s so hearty you can skip…

  • Rye Flour Everything Bagels

    ,

    If you like the flavor of rye or pumpernickel bread, you’re going to love this riff on an everything bagel. It’s just as chewy and pillowy as a regular bagel, only it takes advantage of some of the health benefits of rye flour (like a boost of fiber and vitamin B, with less of a…

  • Easy Chilaquiles (Using Store-Bought Salsa)

    , ,

    Let’s get this out of the way: This recipe isn’t for authentic chilaquiles; I’m not going to pretend like I have any authority in that space, beyond a strong appreciation for the classic Mexican breakfast. (Mexico in My Kitchen and Muy Delish feature great recipes on that front.) I call this my “wannabe Chilaquiles” recipe,…

  • The Best Bagel Schmear Recipe: Bacon Scallion Cream Cheese

    ,

    It’s bold to call this the best bagel schmear, but we’re going there. For five years, Nate and I had Brooklyn Bagel at least once a week, and our order rarely changed: everything bagel, toasted, slathered and stacked with bacon scallion cream cheese. Since moving away, we haven’t just endeavored to replicate the epic bagels;…

  • Ridiculously Easy Greek Yogurt Everything Bagels (& Asiago, Too!)

    ,

    Ever since moving out of New York City, I’ve been on the hunt for a bagel that can rival the best ones I’ve ever had: the poppy-garlic-dried-onion-smothered balls of carby wonder at Brooklyn Bagel. No place has come close, so I’ve set out to make my own. This Greek Yogurt Everything Bagel recipe has the…

  • Pastelitos, aka the Best Super Bowl Dessert for Buccaneers Fans

    , ,

    Certain foods are synonymous with Tampa Bay: Cubanos, Bloomin’ Onions (Tampa is the birthplace of Outback, after all), grouper sandwiches, strawberry shortcake straight from Plant City. They’re must-haves when you’re in the Bay, but there’s one treat that doesn’t get nearly enough attention, and it really, truly should. I’m talking about pastelitos de guayaba y…

  • How to Make Fruity Pebbles Pancakes

    You could use a little moment of levity in your day. We all could. And there’s something undeniably gleeful about staring at a shortstack of flapjacks studded with rainbow cereal. These Fruity Pebbles pancakes are so easy to make that you have no excuse not to try them, really, so give it a go and…
