I have another quick and easy chicken recipe for you today, honey garlic chicken. This is one of those recipes you’ll be glad to have in your back pocket on busy weeknights because it cooks up fast and easy. You just need a handful of pantry ingredients, 20 minutes, and one pan. The chicken comes out moist and tender, cooked in a sweet honey garlic sauce that you’ll want to drizzle over everything....
Hey, friend, you ever marvel at that super creamy nacho cheese sauce you get at restaurants and movie theaters and wish you could make it at home? I have just the recipe for you. This nacho cheese sauce is sharp and creamy, just as spicy (or not) as you want it to be, and everything you ever dreamed of smothering over nachos, veggies, or a giant pretzel (<–my fav). To make it, you just need 5 minutes, AND my secret creamy cheese sauce weapon: evaporated milk....
What is your go-to milkshake flavor? I’m usually an Oreo Shake or Chocolate Milkshake fan, but there are days where it feels like nothing in the world would be better than a strawberry milkshake. Is today one of those days? If so, let’s make the very best strawberry milkshake. The Very Best Strawberry Milkshake with Strawberries IMHO, the best strawberry shake is made with vanilla ice cream and real strawberries....
Looking for more easy pasta dishes? Try my Creamy Chicken Pasta With Bell Peppers and Chicken Asparagus Pasta for Two. Chicken cacciatore is one of my mom’s best dishes (her Carrot Cake is another of them). Growing up, nights when we got to have it for dinner were a big deal. We were a busy family, and her recipe involved digging out the giant electric skillet, cutting up an entire chicken, and waiting for what seemed like hours for that to cook....
Hey, I have something pretty fun for you today, One-Pot Homemade Spaghettios! I know, I’m excited about it too. This is the ideal dinner idea for those world-weary days when you’d like to feel like a kid again and eat something delicious out of a can with a cartoon character on the side of it, without actually, you know, eating something out of a can with a cartoon character on the side of it....
Sometimes eating healthy can feel like a drag. I love veggies. I love light, healthy meals, but there are days when all I want is to just bury my face in a plate of pasta. Who’s with me? When I feel like that, but still want to eat well, I whip my Easy Baked Chicken Parmesan (For Two!). This dish is made with crispy, crunchy panko-coated boneless skinless chicken breast, served over fettuccine and topped with your favorite red sauce, cheese and more cheese....
Looking for more freezer-friendly meals? Try these Easy Beef Pasties and Slow Cooker Tri-tip Sandwiches! I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, I love every recipe I post here (well, except these Samoa Cupcakes–shredded coconut is gross, y’all 😉 ), but sometimes I work on a recipe, and I get a little extra obsessed with it. These Freezer Meatballs are one of those. They are sooooooo good!!! Meatballs are kind of the perfect food for freezing because making them is just time-consuming enough that it makes sense to make a big batch of them at once rather than lots of little batches, and because since they are nice and moist, they freeze and reheat beautifully....
Okay, you guys know I usually do small-batch desserts around here. But life isn’t all quiet nights in with your partner or a friend or two. Sometimes six cookies just aren’t going to cut it, and you need something sweet that will feed a crowd. That’s what I have for you today, a big batch of completely decadent frosted brownies perfect for parties, potlucks, and bake sales. These are a full-size version of my ever-popular small-batch brownies, which means they’re my favorite brownies in the world....
Hello, fine friends, I hope you feel like living a little on the edge today because I’m about to share one of the most dangerous recipes I know: One-bowl Small-batch Brownies. That’s right, I said brownies. (We’ll try fugu some other time, you crazy adrenaline junkies.) Why are these cute little triangles of chocolate goodness so dangerous? Because they are completely irresistible and way, way, WAY too easy to make....
A couple years ago, I shared this bacon and butternut squash mac and cheese. One of the steps calls for roasting the butternut squash in bacon grease and during testing I kept running into a problem with the recipe… Every time I made it, the squash would come out of the oven roasted and beautiful, and I would want to eat it all instead of pureeing it for cheese sauce....
Oh hey, it’s a recipe post! It’s been a little while since we’ve had one of these. I’ve been MIA the last couple of weeks finishing up a big life-consuming project (more on that very soon), but I am now officially done and happy to be back, catching up with you lovely readers and making yummy food. I’ve missed you guys! How are you? What going on in your life?...
Saturday Morning Snapshot If someone could explain my own 2AM photo shoot planning sketches to me, that’d be suuuuuper helpful because they are incomprehensible by the light of day. State of the Blog Happy Easter, everyone! How are you celebrating the day? I have barn duty all weekend, so I’ll be spending it shoveling manure and covered in horse hair. Basically the best. Baking Mischief had a couple of recipes featured in BuzzFeed posts this week....
Saturday Morning Snapshot Putting the leftover cheesecake whipped cream from my “Captain America” parfaits to good use after Saturday’s photo shoot… State of the Blog On the blog this week, we finished up the April Hot Sandwich series with my favorite panini and a roundup filled with some of the most beautiful sandwiches I’ve ever laid eyes upon. Friday I posted a Captain America: Civil War dessert, and I’m particularly pleased with the way that one turned out....
The Tips A Few Weeks in Advance Decide early on what you are going to bake. That way, there’s no last minute scrambling through Pinterest/books/your favorite blogs for recipes. This also gives you time to… 2015 Christmas Cookie Boxes
Nerd month, day three, and I have ANOTHER Captain America recipe for you (see also, my Avengers Chicken Shawarma and Civil War Parfaits for another Captain America Dessert). Another one!?, you ask. When will this madness end? Today. It ends today, because it’s Captain America: Civil War release day!! I’m seeing the movie tomorrow, so after this is posted, I’m basically going internet silent for the next 24 hours, but if you want to chat with me about the movie, leave a comment or tweet at me....

Hey, when was the last time you had a pudding pop? Maybe it’s been years. Maybe you’ve never tried one. Well, you should fix that today, because these homemade pudding pops are THE BEST THINGS. Like, I don’t want to over-hype these popsicles, but they are legitimately one of my favorite recipes I’ve made for the blog. I was so excited about how good they turned out that I made everyone within a 2-mile radius try one, and then I was so sad when I realized I had shared them all away and instantly regretted my generosity....
Boneless skinless chicken breasts are a great cut of meat. They’re lean, healthy, versatile, but they can be surprisingly tricky to cook. If you’ve ever struggled with cooking chicken breasts on the stove, maybe your chicken always comes out dry or the outside burns before the inside is cooked through, friend, this is the recipe for you. Cooking the perfect chicken breasts on the stove is actually really, really simple....
Happy April Fools’ Day! Seen any clever tricks yet? Tell me about them in the comments! As is the tradition here at Baking Mischief, I like to use this day not as a chance to play a trick on you, lovely readers, but for us all to play a trick on our bodies and make something terrible and ridiculous and insane. Last year, I made a Salted Caramel Snickerdoodle Milkshake (I still have cinnamon and caramel dreams about that one), and this year, since Easter falls in April, I made an EASTER CANDY FREAKSHAKE!...
It’s week two of Nerd Month, year 2 (What’s Nerd Month? Read more about it in my Potato Gratin for Two post) and today’s recipe is inspired by one of my favorite new comedies from 2016, The Good Place! Have you watched The Good Place? If you haven’t, you absolutely should. It’s sweet, incredibly funny, and very, very clever. If there’s been a bit of a hole in your heart since Parks and Rec left the air, this might be just the show you’re looking for....
