Chewy, easy sugar cookies come together in a snap with zero chilling, rolling out, or cutting required. Make these cookies extra colorful and fun by adding nonpareil sprinkles or sandwiching them with buttercream frosting.

I’m a self-professed sugar cookie connoisseur. I’ll take ’em frosted, cut-out, rolled in sugar, soft, chewy, crispy, or straight out of the plastic container from the bakery section at Walmart.

What I’m saying is that I’m fairly obsessed with sugar cookies and I’m honestly not very picky about them.

Wait, maybe that makes me less of a connoisseur and more of a human sugar cookie garbage disposal. Whatevs.

While I do appreciate a beautiful sugar cookie complete with royal icing, I’m more of a buttercream type of girl. And I’m impatient. It’s why I love no-chill sugar cookies when I do want to make cut-outs.

And I’m definitely not fancy, so these easy sugar cookies are totally my thing. They come together in less than 10 minutes with everyday ingredients that I’m betting you have in your fridge and pantry right now.

Fresh, juicy mangos are paired with black beans and fresh veggies in this tangy mango and black bean salsa. Scoop it up with your favorite tortilla chips or use it as a topping for tacos!

Long-time readers know that I love a good dip. Cheesy, tangy, hot, cold, I love them all.

But as much as I love digging into a good buffalo chicken dip or spinach artichoke dip, when warmer weather rolls around, I crave cool, refreshing dips and salsas.

I’m talking spicy guacamole, fruit salsa with cinnamon tortilla chips, and now this mango and black bean salsa.

This is the recipe that will be on repeat for our family all summer long. I’ll be taking it to every party and cookout and putting it on anything and everything.

With a coconut graham cracker crust and rich and creamy filling, this coconut cheesecake is the ideal cheesecake for anyone who loves coconut.

At this point, my neighbors and family members all know to expect me to show up at their door on a pretty regular basis with baked goods.

Don’t get me wrong: my immediate family loves eating the recipes I make, but there’s only so much we can eat in a week.

I think my neighbors get extra excited when it’s a cheesecake testing week. Whether it’s banana pudding cheesecake, caramel apple cheesecake, or this coconut cheesecake, they are all happy to take a slice or two off my hands.

So I guess it’s a good thing that I can’t get enough of riffing on my vanilla cheesecake recipe. If you love cheesecake as much as my neighbors and I do, you’ve come to the right place.

Made with a simple oat-packed crust and a fresh strawberry filling, strawberry oatmeal bars are a delicious way to welcome berry season.

As you can probably guess, my team and I spend a lot of time at the grocery store. And we’ve all been noticing that fresh berries are starting to come back in stock.

In my mind, fresh berries are a sure sign that the seasons are changing, even if it’s still sweatshirt weather here in Ohio. And while peak strawberry season won’t hit my region for a little while yet, I love making recipes that allow even pre-season berries to sing.

From strawberry banana muffins to strawberry popsicles to these strawberry oatmeal bars, these recipes keep me going even when the weather isn’t so great.

I love a good dip. I could easily make a meal off of chips and dip, and sweet dips – such as my cream cheese fruit dip – are one of my favorite easy desserts.

And since the TikTok algorithm knows way more than it should, it sends dip recipes my way all of the time. Not that I’m complaining. After all, cinnamon rolls with heavy cream are one of my favorite things thanks to TikTok.

A week or two ago a video of someone making their family’s version of chili cheese dip came up on my FYP and I had to put my own twist on it immediately. My dad and brother loved this easy chili cheese dip and I thought you all would enjoy it, too.

If you’re anything like us, there are two big seasons going on at your house right now: Christmas (or Hanukkah) and Football.

I’m way more into the holidays than I am into watching football, but luckily both things come with great food.

One of my favorite things to make for any party, but especially game-day parties, is a good dip. From buffalo chicken dip to spinach artichoke dip to spicy sausage dip, they’re one of my very favorite foods.

I mean, they’re easy to make and impossible to stop eating. A win/win in my opinion!
