These homemade baking powder biscuits are ½ of my favorite breakfast ever. The other half is a bizarre sounding but delicious concoction called “Macaroni & Eggs” that comes out of the Great Depression and as far as I know was invented by and only exists in my family. This is the breakfast I always, always ask for on my birthday or whenever I’m at my parents house and my mom asks what I want for breakfast....
These moist little muffins are really a wonder of a recipe. With basic pantry staples and ripe bananas, the result is tender, fluffy muffins that taste like chocolate cake. They aren’t overtly banana-flavor, but rather have a subtle undertone. And the banana adds moisture and the rich texture that makes these seriously delicious. We like these muffins warm out of the oven for a toddler breakfast or chilled for a snack or a cold packed lunch....
Raspberry Muffins We love Strawberry Muffins, Blueberry Muffins, Chocolate Chip Muffins…and basically all of the muffins. And it was time to make a dedicated recipe for Raspberry Muffins—because they are such a delicious flavor and you can make them easily with fresh or frozen berries. These muffins are incredibly moist from the inclusion of Greek yogurt and they have a super bright flavor from both the berries and fresh lemon. They are great right out of the oven or at room temperatures....
Forget the jarred stuff, this homemade alfredo is super quick and easy to make with basic ingredients. And it tastes even better than any restaurant. Whip up a batch of this pasta delight, and get ready for rave reviews! We cook a lot of pasta in our home. It keeps my husband happy. From basic Spaghetti with Meat Sauce to slow cooked Lamb Ragu to our new favorite meatless dish, Pasta alla Norma....
Apple Pancakes I almost always have fresh apples on hand as they tend to be the fruit that linger after we’ve eaten all of the berries! And they are such wonderful ingredients to add to pancakes to add nutrition and naturally sweet flavor. We often make this apple recipe in the fall when apples are front of mind, but also all year round too when we’re in the mood for weekend pancakes—though they work at any time....
This time, try it with the slight little flavor twist of goat cheese. Yum level achieved! What’s the most loved, yet most taken for granted, dish on your holiday spread? Can you even imagine a table without your creamy, buttery mash of those simple humble potatoes? Try to feed the turkey to a crowd without this most beloved side, or even cook that always in demand fried chicken and take it to your table without mash....
Making healthy waffles at home isn’t something I’ve always done, and I know there are plenty of options in the freezer aisle. But the reason I sometimes do it? I love being able to add nutritious ingredients, including produce, to each batch. And in the case of these waffles, the burst of fresh raspberries is just so seriously delicious. These toddler waffles are made with whole wheat flour and raspberries and are a fun weekend breakfast—and easy to reheat during the week....
I sometimes buy applesauce pouches and jarred applesauce at the store, but when apples are in season and I can get them for a low price, making homemade applesauce is a favorite option. This method, which involves simply simmering diced apples until soft on the stove, is fast and delivers consistently great results. You can store it in a jar in the fridge to serve as a side or snack, or you can portion it into reusable pouches for the kids....
This fresh basil pesto is delicious on everything from pasta to sandwiches to grilled meat. We love to use it on our Veggie Pizza or added to Tuscan White Bean Soup for even more flavor! If you have a basil plant in your garden, you might find yourself with more basil than you can use. This easy pesto recipe is made with those fresh basil leaves, parmesan cheese, pine nuts, olive oil, and garlic, plus a little salt and pepper to round things out....
Best Cherry Pie Recipe Given the choice between cake or pie, I’m going to choose the pie every time. Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against a delicious yellow cake with chocolate frosting or chocolate cupcakes with rainbow chip frosting. I mean, hey, it’s cake and obviously I love it, and besides, I’m not one to turn my nose up at dessert. But pie just speaks to me more than cake does....
Trying to beat the heat on a hot summer day with a cold family-friendly beverage? Be sure to check out our Virgin Piña Coladas, Easy Brazilian Lemonade (Limeade), and Homemade Orange Julius! We are obsessed with homemade lemonade recipes in the summertime. The temps have been over 100 degrees F this week and nothing beats fresh squeezed lemonade during the summer months! It’s the most refreshing drink that is perfect for summer barbecues, potlucks, a pool party, and any time you are looking to beat the heat....
How to Cut Sweet Potato Cutting up a sweet potato is fairly easy (usually!) once you know the order of a few basic steps for the process. I usually do a few at once so I have extras to use in recipes, but you can really do as many or as few as you like. For this process, you’ll need a knife, a vegetable peeler, and a cutting board. This is a great refresher if you’re planning to make roasted sweet potato or if you’re dicing some up to use in another recipe (like chili or a slow cooker dish)....
Sugar Cream Pie I’m wrapping up Indiana Week on House of Nash Eats with a dessert, like I always do! If you are new to this series, I’m working my way through the foods that American is known for, one state at a time, in my American Eats series. It’s so fun to explore the flavors of the U.S.A. with some of these classic recipes! I love how many states have a strong association with a particular pie....
I recently started making instant pot applesauce and I am SO in love with this method! It’s so quick and easy and it makes perfectly sweet and smooth applesauce every time. Crockpot applesauce has long been a favorite in out house, but this is a great option if you have an Instant Pot and want to make a batch of homemade applesauce much faster. (You may also like my Recipes That Use Applesauce, Homemade Applesauce Pouches, or How to Freeze Apples....
End result? Saucy… Bold… Sharp! Lip smacking, delicious chicken with plenty of stew to slurp along with a big bowl of rice or attiéké (their cous cous like staple side dish). Keep a glass of water nearby if trying the local chili level. All that spiciness, ahmm, it’s worth it. For rest, don’t miss out on this great chicken stew. Just adjust the chili level to your liking and get these African flavors going in your very own kitchen....
We love to travel, but with the way the world has been lately we haven’t been able to explore like we used to. But fortunately I have been working on a series where we visit new places by making the foods they are best known for. I call it my American Eats series and right now I’m cooking my way through some of the most recognizable recipes from the state of Maryland!...
You know those theoretical questions that ask you what cuisine you’d choose if you could only eat one for the rest of your life? They’re along the lines of “what 3 things would you bring to a desert island-“type questions. Mostly I eschew these types of questions, because what crazy dystopian world would have to live in to only be able to experience one culture, one cuisine, or ONLY THREE THINGS EVER?...
If you love the taste of mint chocolate treats, be sure to try our Andes Mint Cookies, Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream, and Frosted Chocolate Mint Brownies.

For some of our other favorite summer salads, be sure to try Curried Chicken Salad, BLT Pasta Salad, Tex-Mex Doritos Taco Salad, Zucchini Salad, and Grilled Corn Summer Salad. Peach Panzanella Salad I have a major panzanella salad obsession. Last year I posted a Fall panzanella salad made with butternut squash, roasted brussels sprouts, and apples and it is so, so good. But it’s summer and that means peaches are in season, and since peaches are my favorite fruit I’ve been adding them to basically everything I can think of....
