You know that saying that most things worth doing are difficult? Well, that does not apply in the case of these pumpkin spice tiramisu parfaits—they’re super quick, no-bake, and no-cook. In a word, they're no-fuss! Life has been incredibly busy lately—but then again, I feel like fall is the season of busy, wouldn’t you agree? ...

Cranberry Orange French Toast Casserole

All opinions are mine alone. #SameSilkySmoothTaste #CollectiveBias It’s not too early to start counting down the days until the holidays, right?

Chipotle-Peach Chicken Salad
This chipotle-peach chicken salad is the first thing I’ve made in the kitchen in two weeks, and I’m not even sure it counts, given how many shortcuts I took. I used rotisserie chicken that I had shredded and frozen weeks ago. Too lazy overheated to turn on the oven, I bought pecans that had already been roasted. ...

Caramel Banana Pecan Muffins
The other day, I spotted a solitary ripe banana languishing on the counter. In my household, ripe bananas mean it’s time to do some baking! Rummaging through the fridge and pantry, I found some leftover homemade caramel sauce and an unopened bag of pecans, and the idea hit me: caramel banana pecan muffins! ...
Cranberry Sweet Potato Couscous
Couscous and I did not get along when I was a child. I think I regarded it as a poor substitute for white rice, which I loved. It wasn’t until sometime in college that I realized that couscous was actually pretty great in its own right, and—the best part for a student pressed for time—it cooks a lot more quickly than rice! ...
