But when it comes to grilled chicken, nothing feels as perfect as the tang of a mustard-based South Carolina-style barbecue sauce. What is South Carolina-Sytle BBQ Sauce? This recipe pairs zesty, mustard-based barbecue sauce with grilled chicken. The resulting dish has a hint of sweetness and spice, and every bite is wonderfully smoky with an ideal balance of piquant flavors.

This Harvest Pear Salad with a fragrant cranberry vinaigrette dressing is a favorite side dish during the fall and winter months. Plump, juicy pears, sweet dried cranberries, and pumpkin spice flavored pecans complement each other in a beautiful, tasty way. I highly recommend trying the pumpkin spiced pecans.

This Crock Pot Chex Mix is such a great recipe to have on hand. It makes a big batch of savory, crunchy, salty, delicious snack gold!

Ingredients in Crock Pot Chex Mix Chex Cereal – I used a mix of Rice Chex, Corn Chex, and Honey Nut Chex....

Do I need eight spatulas? No. Do I feel better about having backups in case something happens to seven of them? Absolutely. You don’t need to be as passionate about rubber spatulas as I am, but I strongly recommend you invest in at least one good one, and that would be Rubbermaid’s commercial high-heat spatula. Rubber Spatulas vs Silicone Spatulas First of all, let’s clear something up: Rubber spatulas are really silicone spatulas....

Sure, you could bake up a delicious batch of standard cinnamon rolls and I wouldn’t blame you, but it’s fall, and if you have a pumpkin lover in your life, these light, fluffy, pumpkin-spiced cinnamon rolls are the perfect weekend breakfast treat. In addition to being pretty easy to make, this homemade pumpkin cinnamon roll recipe uses an entire can of pumpkin! Too often, other recipes have left me holding an almost empty can of pumpkin puree, only to shove it into a food storage container and banish it to the Siberia that is the back corner of my fridge....

This is a French country classic, and there are endless variations. All are good. Some recipes bake the rabbit, others braise it, as I do. The keys are mustard—good grainy mustard, not the bright yellow stuff you get at the ballpark—shallots, and something creamy. I use heavy cream, but some people use crème fraiche, others sour cream. Rabbit has a mild flavor that is all its own. Think chicken breast, but with a slightly different flavor....

The Key to Making a Frittata The trick to making a frittata is to cook it low and slow on the stovetop, and then finish it under the broiler. Eggs love low, gentle heat; more of their moisture is retained that way. Here is an easy spinach frittata we love, with a bunch of chopped up baby spinach (you can use regular spinach too, though I find the prewashed packages of baby spinach irresistibly convenient), Parmesan, and goat cheese....

This soup makes for some crazy-amazing comfort food. Not only is it vegan and gluten-free, but you won’t believe something so quick and easy can taste so amazing. The clever combo of sweet potatoes, canned tomatoes, Swiss chard, and creamy almond butter results in a righteous ride that will make you weak at the knees. Cauliflower rice makes this dish low in carbs, but you can also serve this stew with any grain you prefer....

But, take a breath! These Twice Baked Southwestern Sweet Potatoes are literally an entire meal in one. You put this on the plate, and it is a FULL MEAL. It requires no sides or other things. It is filling, delicious, and easy.

Evocative of typical lunchbox treats, they make great homemade snacking cakes. In Maine, we don’t need an occasion to eat whoopie pies; a whoopie pie creates an occasion, though they often show up at birthdays, parties, and even weddings. Why These Whoopie Pies Are the Best When you break it down, a whoopie pie only has two elements: the chocolate cake and the marshmallow filling. When a dessert’s flavor is so simple, a recipe needs to get the details right....

Chocolate Pudding Cake I got this recipe at a women’s retreat many years ago and it has been a favorite ever since. It was a suggested dessert for holiday entertaining because it is so easy to make, yet it tastes so good. You can put it in the oven right before dinner and it is ready right when you are ready to serve it for dessert. In this recipe, I usually use a Devil’s Food Cake mix, but a German Chocolate mix or regular chocolate cake mix work just as well....

How to Make Christmas Cracker Candy In brief, this candy is made by pouring melted brown sugar and butter over saltine crackers....

It can’t be done. Strike that. Actually, you must attempt to eat a tostada with finesse, otherwise all hope is lost, and the thing will crumble in your hands with the mounds of filling succumbing to gravity only to ricochet off your plate to the surrounding table, lap, floor, etc. What Is a Tostada? A tostada has a pretty simple construction: it’s like a taco, but flat. It’s usually made with a fried corn tortilla, topped with refried beans, shredded cheese, salsa, and other toppings....

It comes together in less than half an hour and relies on leftover chicken, cold from the fridge, or a rotisserie bird picked up on the way home from work. I can easily prep enough ingredients and extra dressing to store for a quick lunch the day after. The chicken is served over a bed of romaine lettuce, cucumbers, and radishes. The dressing is a savory mixture of tahini, toasted sesame oil, soy sauce, and honey....

One of the easiest things to do with them is to prepare them in a simple galette. For this recipe, all you need is pie dough, or a defrosted frozen pie crust, fresh figs that have been quartered, a little orange marmalade, and a sprinkling of sugar. Assuming 15 minutes to cut the figs, roll out the pie dough, and warm the oven, and 45 minutes to bake, you’ll have a beautiful dessert in an hour....
