Toss together everything for dinner on a single sheet pan and shove it in the oven while you tend to other things that need to get done. You're welcome.

Every bit as boozy and as brilliant as it sounds. Inspired by the old-fashioned rum cake made in the Caribbean with dark rum in all its magnificently spiced glory.

Pancakes are swell, but breakfast doesn't have an exclusive on maple syrup. Especially not when this maple roast chicken is in the house.

Pucker up, cuz you're going to want to sip the bejeebers out of this ridiculously easy, sweetly tart lemonade. Wowza.
