Caramel Pecan Pull-Apart Bread is a classic monkey bread recipe blended with classic cinnamon rolls, but with a twist, as adding pecans gives a delightful crunch! This is always one of the top contenders for a holiday breakfast for Christmas or Easter because it’s so easy and delicious. Each bite of Caramel Pecan Pull-Apart Bread contains delightfully soft yeast dough and crunchy pecans, covered in a rich homemade caramel sauce....
As much as I love working with yeast breads, I’ve been baking all sorts of quick breads lately because they are just so fun and easy to make and they taste delicious! We’ve tried peanut butter bread, cherry bread, strawberry bread, and others, all in the name of sharing our favorites here on the blog. Some are still works in progress, but I can confidently say that I loved this cinnamon swirl bread enough to photograph it and share it here on the blog....
There is just something about recipes that feature cinnamon and brown sugar that is always so comforting! If you enjoy this cake recipe, be sure to also check out our Sour Cream Coffee Cake, Cinnamon Roll Waffles, and Cinnamon Swirl Quick Bread next! My husband, Paul, LOVES coffee cake. It’s one of his all-time favorite treats, so it’s unsuprising that he went crazy for this honey bun cake. In fact, he just walked into the room and saw a picture of this one my screen and immediately started lauding it as one of his favorite things I have made in a while....
Million Dollar Dip tastes so incredible, it’s hard to believe it’s so easy to make. It’s the perfect crowd-pleasing party recipe! This dip also goes by the name “Neiman Marcus Dip” as the original recipe was created at the Neiman Marcus restaurant in Texas by Helen Corbitt in the 1950s. The recipe appears in her cookbook and is considered a classic dip for the holiday season. I’m not sure when the name “Million Dollar Dip” started being used, but it’s a popular name for it and what we know it by....
This recipe is top-notch when served with the traditional Eggs Benedict sauce known as Hollandaise Sauce and with a side of my favorite Summer Fruit Salad. You can go the extra mile by making Homemade English Muffins or keep things simple with storebought. Rumor has it that Eggs Benedict originated in New York City with a hungover Wall Street Broker, Lemuel Benedict, ordered two perfectly poached eggs to top his buttered toast, a side of crispy bacon and the hollandaise sauce....
There are few things I love more than banana bread, but I often crave the convenience of a muffin. And so. Banana Bread Muffins! These take a classic recipe and turn it into tender, moist muffins that are easy to take on the go—or for little kids to pick up and enjoy. These are one a my very favorite ways to enjoy overripe bananas and they are just lightly sweetened (when compared to classic banana bread)....
It’s no secret that I make a lot of muffins for kids. As a busy mom who needs to feed both the kids and myself, muffins are in constant rotation in my house because they are so easy to make, they’re endlessly versatile, and they’re easy to eat for kids and us parents. These Lemon Blueberry Muffins are packed with berries—which is how I love them!—and have a nice bright flavor from fresh lemon zest....
Mango Smoothie Recipe I love to keep a bag of cubed mango in the freezer because it blends up so creamy in a smoothie. This is a great toddler smoothie recipe for kids who can’t have banana, for when you want a seriously refreshing smoothie, or when you want to serve up a drink that’s packed with vitamin C and probiotics. It’s super creamy and sweet. And with the addition of the yogurt and orange, there’s a nice mix of nutrients and flavors....
Meal Prep Containers One of the best ways to keep your food budget in check, reduce food waste, and to actually use all the food you make is to have containers to store it all in. And while I don’t think you have to go full-on meal prep each week, having handy meal prep containers on hand is a great way to store leftovers—and any food you want to serve for a future meal....
Ripe Banana Recipes The next time you find yourself with overripe bananas, do not waste them! Transform them into one of these ripe bananas recipes right away, or stash them into the freezer to use on a future day. There are so many delicious ways to use ripe bananas including French toast, muffins, breads, smoothies, desserts, and more. I love banana recipes that I’m always trying to deliberately buy ripe bananas at the store!...
Pancakes are a go-to breakfast recipe for so many of us, and I like to change things up by adding some extra nutrients so we all get a great start to the day. We love to make this recipe in the fall especially, but they’re a great option for kids (and us parents!) no matter the season. My kids love to help me make pancakes on the weekend as they stand in the toddler learning tower by my side at the counter....
This menudo is a fatty cut of pork simmered for a long long time in a tomato based sauce, resulting in a rich stew. It’s heightened up a notch with a few aromatics and accompanied by tons of flavors coming from some usual veggies, and the not so usual presence of garbanzos and raisins. But everything works just perfect in this most delicious stew. Let me introduce my new found love… Menudo my friends, Pinoy style!...
Peach season is achingly short and every year I buy bushel after bushel of fresh yellow peaches as long as they hold out. In Georgia, that’s mid-May to early August. In California, that season starts in late June and wraps up toward the end of August, but in other parts of the country it’s a more like late-July to September. There are so many incredible peach desserts to be made (as well as savory peach recipes too!...
Strawberry Sauce I love using fruit sauces as dips to add flavor to kids’ meals, as toppings for pancakes and oatmeal, and cake, and to add flavor to Strawberry Yogurt. This method for making a sauce from strawberries is easy, and the resulting sauce can be stored in the fridge or freezer as you like. You can make a small batch or a larger one, you can use fresh or frozen strawberries, and you can leave it added-sugar-free or sweeten it to taste to please the unique preferences of your family....
For those not in the know, Santa loves brownies every bit as much as he loves cookies. Specifically frosted peppermint brownies with pecans. These are really just a riff on one of our favorite brownie recipes: the chocolate frosted brownies from a family reunion cookbook that I got decades ago. The brownie base is fudgy but extra easy since it’s just made with cocoa powder so you don’t need to chop or melt any chocolate for this one....
Larabars have forever been one of my go-to toddler snacks, but since they stopped making the mini ones that were a perfect size for kids (and because they can be expensive), I started making this recipe. And while I don’t exclusively make homemade snacks—we still do buy healthy snacks for kids, including bars—this has been an easy option to have in the mix. I love that I can buy the ingredients and stash the bars in the fridge for filling snacks for weeks....
This dish not only makes your humble green beans fancy, but it’s absolutely delicious and elegant in its simplicity. Vibrant French style green beans tossed with brown butter, toasty almonds (that’s where almondine comes from), shallots, garlic and a squeeze of lemon to brighten it in the end. This French classic is a MUST for this year’s Holiday entertaining… But then, I think why just for holidays? This side dish is perfect for anything that you have green beans with....
Let’s face it, vegetables can be boring. But not this version! Some of our other favorite vegetable sides that are anything but boring are Easy Oven Roasted Cauliflower and Traditional German Red Cabbage [Rotkohl]! When it comes to vegetable side dishes, most nights of the week I find it easier to do really simple, plain versions to serve alongside whatever it is we are eating for dinner. This side dish has all the flavors we love from our Bacon Wrapped Green Bean Bundles but with an easy, family-style presentation that’s perfect for weeknights....
If you love these chicken chimichangas, then you might also want to try my Shredded Beef Chimichangas next or maybe these Vegetarian Swiss Chard and Pinto Bean Burritos! It’s Arizona Week on House of Nash Eats! I’m doing a series that I’m calling American Eats where I’m exploring the foods and flavors of America state-by-state, drawing on some of the most iconic dishes or ingredients that each state is known for....
We love to grill at our house almost all year round thanks to the mild California weather. And shish kabobs are a staple for us, whether we are having guests over or it’s just our family. You can marinate and even assemble everything ahead of time and then they cook quickly on the grilled so you end up with chunks of juicy meat and tender-crisp veggies. What’s not to love?...
