Updated March 26, 2019 This post is in partnership with The Quaker Oats Company, but our opinions are our own. I often get asked what my favorite cookie is, but I can never decide. I am terrible at making decisions and I have too many favorites. We have over 200 cookie recipes on our site and it is just too hard to narrow it down. I love them all! I do know that I LOVE oatmeal cookies....

I have been intrigued with Boston cream pies for the longest time. I’ve always been intrigued by American culture and food and this cake has always been on my must-make list. I always found it strange that it was called a pie but in fact cake. However, this doesn’t even matter because this is the official dessert of Massachusetts. How fabulous do you have to be as a dessert to be an official dessert of a state?...

This bread absolutely positively BLEW MY MIND. So delectably moist and wonderfully packed with cinnamon (like my Healthy Apple Cake, Flourless Apple Cinnamon Muffins and Apple Cinnamon Overnight Oats!), bejeweled with juicy Honeycrisp apple and studded with luscious cinnamon sugar pecans. Does life get any better than this?! Ingredients Flour: We’re rockin’ all-purpose or whole wheat pastry flour here for fluff factor! Sugar: We’re using good old white sugar in the bread and brown sugar in the filling....

I used fresh fruit but frozen fruit works just as well. Sugar. Feel free to substitute with a sweetener of your choice. Lemon juice. Yogurt. I use full fat Greek yogurt.

Ingredients needed This recipe uses pantry ingredients with the addition of ricotta to make them impossibly fluffy and gives them the best texture. The lemon zest is completely optional but it adds incredible flavor to the pancakes. Flour. All purpose flour. Sugar. Granulated sugar or caster sugar will both work. Maple syrup or honey can also be substituted. Baking powder and baking soda. Salt. Milk. I used whole milk/full cream milk but oat milk or almond milk can be used instead....

Ingredients I love this recipe for weeknights when I need dinner on the table in under 20 minutes. You really only need pasta and shrimp and can flavor the dish with any herbs and spices you have on hand. I like fresh lemon because I think shrimp and lemon are a match made in heaven. To complement the shrimp even more, fresh garlic, chillies and parsley are added and to keep it light and fresh, I only use a few tablespoons of olive oil instead of butter or cream, however butter can easily be substituted....

Pork chop is one of my favorite cuts for dinner. It takes no time to prep and cook, yet the result is always satisfying. Plus, it is easy enough to cook on a weekday evening, and fancy enough to serve at a Sunday party. Super versatile isn’t it? In this recipe, I served the pork with my homemade orange sauce. The sweet and citrusy sauce pairs so well with the pork....

If you’ve never had a Prego roll before, get ready. Because this is the good shizz. It’s like the best steak sandwich you can imagine, but like x100. The steak is marinated in an aromatic blend of peri-peri sauce, tomato, olive oil, garlic and herbs and then grilled quickly on a scorching-hot pan/grill before being served on a squishy, fresh bread roll. The fresh chilli butter is a delicious add-on that adds just the right amount of heat to this delectable sandwich....

I’ll be honest, I was hesitant to try Turkish eggs. The idea of yogurt and eggs just didn’t appeal to me but after reading rave reviews from pretty much every person who has ever tried them, I knew I would have to give them a go. And oh. my. goodness. The yoghurt, soft and egg and spicy butter sauce are all kinds of delicious. It’s a light, fresh and healthy breakfast or brunch recipe....
