Shredded beef and gooey cheese and a pretty mild sauce. Just 20 minutes in the oven, then compliments all around. Thanks, Homesick Texan.

And you thought you didn't have time for breakfast. We're changing that with this handy dandy technique.

Rite of passage as well as rite of tailgating, Frito Pie is legendary. In case you'd forgotten about it, here's how. Serve it as-is or glam it up with anything you like.

The curious name of these insanely can't-stop-eating-these sweet and salty cookies hints at how you toss in whatever this and that you have on hand to create awesomeness.

Simple. Seasonal. Sophisticated. Sassy. Sublime. All qualities we swoon to in a dessert. All found right here.

Magically delicate and nuanced cookies that satisfy the little kid cookie craving in an adult sorta way.

We find this lovely, albeit subtly flavored, little number to be one of the simpler pleasures in life. We think you'll concur.

Four ingredients. Ridiculously easy. Wonderfully inexpensive. And, quite frankly, the best gnocchi we've ever experienced.

This sneaky sable, a French shortbread of sorts that's crisp on the outside, tender on the inside, is going to rock your world.

Yeah, yeah, we know. You don't need a recipe for mashed Yukon Golds with butter, milk, and salt. Or so you think. Try this and get back to us.

We could blather on and on about this surprising (and stealthy healthy) riff on a Southern classic that everyone is swearing is the best cornbread they've ever had.

We got nothing against the Larabars we've been noshing for years. Save for the crazy price tag. Here's a less expensive, more customizable alternative.
