Recipe: No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies
EnglishMajorLeagues
Do you have a cookie burning problem? Me too. It seems that whenever I bake, I either get soft, yogurt-y cookie puddles, or the hardest cookie bricks imaginable. Lucky for me, there is an alternative: no-bake cookies! I'm hardly the first person to ever make them, but there's something satisfying about making cookies without so much as touching an oven. Now, without further ado, the ... ...more

Recipe: Easy Egg 'Biscuits'
EnglishMajorLeagues
These aren't really biscuits, but the good news is you don't have to warm up your oven or spend your whole morning over an oven to make them! These biscuits, in my opinion, taste just like a buttered biscuit, and a lot less eggy than you'd expect. Plus, you can turn it into a biscuit sandwich by adding sausage, bacon, tomato, basil, or anything you like! All you need to make them is a few ... ...more

All right, it's not really "bacon," but with meat shortages as they are, and enough people in the world crying for new ways to eat vegetables, it's time to give carrots their time in the spotlight.

Recipe: Poor Man's Tacos
EnglishMajorLeagues
Happy Cinco de Mayo! By pure coincidence, it's also Taco Tuesday! I don't exactly have a traditional recipe for tacos, passed down through generations, but I do remember learning about what my family called 'poor man's tacos.' The original recipe called for little more than a shell or tortilla, cheese, and ground beef with a little chili powder, salt, and pepper, but I've dressed it up just a ... ...more

Recipe: Garlic Herb Butter
EnglishMajorLeagues
I've written before on how to make buttermilk in a mason jar, and I didn't really talk about the other product of vigorous shaking of cream: butter! You can make unsalted sweet cream butter with just heavy whipping cream and a jar, but if you're a little more adventurous and don't need to keep the buttermilk afterward, you can make this delicious garlic and herb butter.

Sick of Steamed Veggies? Try This!
EnglishMajorLeagues
In my house, steamed vegetables are always on standby. But, as much as I like the convenience of bag-steamed veggies to supplement my dinner, it's not the most exciting of side dishes. For the less veggie-inclined, steamed vegetables might even sound like a punishment. But with a little extra effort and a bit of practice, you might develop a liking for vegetables roasted in the ... ...more

Your sinuses are clogged, you're coughing, your stomach hurts, and all you want to do is sleep.

Perfect Blueberry Oatmeal Pancakes
EnglishMajorLeagues
Good morning, and happy Sunday! I don't know about you, but I like to end my weekend with a fun breakfast. This morning, I was very happy with the pancakes I made, so of course I want to share the recipe with you! The result that I like most is a thick, fluffy pancake, but if you like crepes or a cake thinner than mine, just adjust the liquid to dry ingredient ratio accordingly. You can use ... ...more
