We're food folks, not number crunchers. But perhaps our most favorite equation ever? Chocolate + hazelnuts = gianduia.

We love ice cream, but sometimes it's too darn hot and humid for anything sweet and sticky. Enter the lemon ice, a bracingly crisp and tart refresher. The best part—no ice cream maker required!

An impressive impromptu dinner that's done in less than 30 minutes and a cinch to clean up. You're welcome.

Eggs in hell? It's an edible incarnation of Dante's inferno. Don't worry, it's far more fetching than that old grump would have you believe.

Crisp as a cracker. Less sweet than a cookie. And certain to be safe from the kids as they have a distinct adult dark chocolate allure.

Entertaining gets no simpler than this rich, creamy, indulgent, elegant cheese spread made from three ingredients. Tasting is believing. Go on.

Yup. We went there. To that homemade Cheez-It place. Go ahead. Admit it. You're awfully glad that we did.

Fancy schmancy mac and cheese canapés? Why not? Plop these lovelies on a silver platter alongside flutes of Champagne or tuck them into a lunch box.

A ginormous riff on the iconic American snack cake, this Twinkie look-alike boasts a beauteous appearance, an amped-up vanilla smack, and ingredients you can actually pronounce.

These sweet little somethings may just entice you to forget all about the rest of your day's plans.

An easy, foolproof, ever so slightly sweet corn bread that comes together as quickly as it disappears. Just watch it.

Words sort of elude us when we attempt to describe just how stunning and scrumptious we consider this dish. Just...wow.

This irresistible scoop of the milkiest chocolate ice cream is like having a bar of fine Swiss chocolate on a spoon.

Though we dearly loved Pop Tarts as kids, even then we thought the packaged pastries ought to be better. Flakier. Fruitier. Fresher. Just like these. And they're quite simple to pull off.

Know how every once in a while you taste something that's so insanely satiating that a single spoonful pretty much satisfies? Nah, neither do we. Pass this ice cream, please.

Everyone who's made this easy and show-stopping pancake is lauding it as the airiest, most perfect puffed pancake they've encountered. Sorta makes you want to experience it, yeah?

No longer are you safe from temptation just because you summoned enough fortitude to skip the Nutella aisle at the store. Not safe at all.

Ooooh baby! Broccoli blanketed with a creamy rich white sauce that takes its oomph from blue cheese and its hint of heat from cayenne.

Shrimp and longnecks. There's little else a summer shindig requires, except perhaps these eminently easy dips.

A little something dark and decadent to swoon over on a sultry summer afternoon. A little cinnamon- and cayenne-laced chocolate and cream never hurt anyone.
