Cherry Almond Crumble Bars
These Cherry Almond Crumble Bars are my go-to when I want something fruity, chewy, and just a little nutty. The almond crumble topping pairs perfectly with the jammy cherry center, making each bite sweet, tart, and totally addictive.
Better-Than-Takeout Orange Chicken
This Better-Than-Takeout Orange Chicken is crispy, tangy, and perfectly sweet with just the right amount of citrusy kick! Made with juicy chicken breast pieces tossed in a homemade orange sauce, it’s the ultimate comfort food that tastes just like your favorite Chinese takeout—except even better.
Brown Butter Banana Bread Blondies
There’s banana bread, and then there are these Brown Butter Banana Bread Blondies. Chewy, gooey, and packed with caramelized banana flavor and nutty brown butter, these bars are my go-to when I want something indulgent and comforting that still feels homemade and nostalgic. Plus, no mixer required!
Toasted Brioche Sloppy Joes with Smoky-Sweet Tomato Sauce
There’s something about Sloppy Joes that hits a core childhood memory — saucy, messy, sweet-savory joy on a bun. This elevated version trades in the canned mix for a rich tomato-balsamic jam, smoky spices, and deeply caramelized ground beef (or mushroom mix!).
Smoky Pineapple Teriyaki Burgers
Nothing says backyard barbecue like a juicy, flavor-packed burger fresh off the grill! These Smoky Pineapple Teriyaki Burgers are a tropical twist on a classic, featuring a perfectly grilled beef patty glazed in homemade teriyaki sauce, topped with caramelized pineapple, and nestled in a toasted brioche bun. Smoky, sweet, and absolutely mouthwatering!
