Got leftover cranberries? Then you’ve got the fixings for these incredible scones that balance tart berries with sweet white chocolate and knee-wobblingly flaky pastry.
Olivia G., Recipe Tester
A list of all the recipes Olivia G. has tested.
King Ranch Chicken
Whoever created this classic American casserole knew a thing or two. Layers of chicken, roasted peppers, and tortillas smothered in cheese. Gobsmackingly delicious.
Instant Pot Thanksgiving Turkey
For a more intimate holiday dinner, a smaller turkey cooked in under two hours might be just the thing. Juicy with crispy skin, it’s superb.
Vegan Chocolate Cupcakes
Vegan chocolate cupcakes. So scrumptious and deep dark chocolatey that no one’s even going to notice they’re vegan. Swear.
Slow Cooker Beef Chili from Skinnytaste
This easy slow cooker beef chili requires less than half an hour of effort and you’ll come home to a meal that tastes like you’ve been cooking all day.
Honey Walnut Cake
Easy enough for everyday yet sufficiently elegant for anytime you need a little oomph, this honey-inflected walnut cake never disappoints. Ever.
Raspberry Oatmeal Bars
The classic jam bar perfected. Sweet raspberry preserves are layered between a nutty oatmeal cookie dough crust and crumb topping. Um, yum.
Curried Chickpeas ~ Chana Masala
Easy, inexpensive, not too spicy, comforting as heck, and made with ingredients you probably already have. It also just so happens to be vegan and gluten-free.
Turkish Coffee Ice Cream
Folks are saying this is the simplest ice cream recipe they’ve ever made. They’re also calling it the most satisfying.
Acquacotta
Sorta like shakshuka, aquacotta is an Italian soup from southern Tuscany that’s essentially leftover bread, tomatoes, onions, and chiles with eggs and a little Parmesan. Living large.
Bulgogi Meatballs
Bulgogi meatballs are a tasty riff on Korean barbeque that deliver a sweet-salty-umami flavor burst. Perfect for dinner or cocktail munchies.
Sweet Potato Tamales
Slightly sweet from a corn masa filling, Nopalito’s tamales are a can’t-say-no recipe. And that mole sauce? You’re gonna want to slather it on everything. #tamales
Instant Pot Rotisserie-Style Chicken
Can you roast a whole chicken in an Instant Pot? Well, yes. Kind of. Is it “technically” roasted? No. Does it have a delicious rotisserie-like flavor? You betcha.
3 Ingredient Macaroni and Cheese
Mac and cheese honestly doesn’t get any quicker or easier or pantry-friendlier than this 3-ingredient savior that can be tossed together with stuff you already have on hand. Certain to please.
Chicken Burrito Bowl
Easy. Healthy. And kids are proclaiming these to be better than taco night. Need we say more?!
Oat and Pecan Brittle Cookies
Crisp edges. Chewy center. Caramelized awesomeness that defies words. And a marginal healthfulness from oats that makes it entirely too easy to justify having another one.
Vegan Chocolate Chip Brownie Swirl Cookies
For those days when you can’t choose between fudgy brownies and classic chocolate chip cookies. (A typical day for us!) Here’s how not to do without.
Vanilla Sheet Cake
Behold, Edd Kimber’s go-to sheet cake, complete with an utterly irresistible (and doable) Swiss meringue buttercream that you’re gonna wanna slather all over everything.
Sheet Pan Sausage, Peppers, and Onions
Ballpark style sausages without going to the ballpark. We dare say we like this approach even better when demolished from the comfort of our own couch.
Chocolate Mug Cake
Molten, gooey, dense, chocolatey, and done in minutes with nary any evidence, er, we mean cleanup, this microwave mug cake is the solution to when you need dessert stat.
