Cookie bars are a lazy baker’s dream come true. You can whip up an easy cookie dough, spread it into a pan, and bake everything all at once.

It’s the best way to get a bunch of cookies in the shortest amount of time.

Plus, you can cut the bars into large pieces for a big, indulgent dessert or slice them into smaller squares if you’re feeding a crowd or taking them to a cookie exchange.

Whether you’re making my sugar cookie bars, monster cookie bars, pecan bars, or these chocolate chip cookie bars – you really can’t go wrong.

You know what I love? Appetizer recipes that can pull double duty.

I’m talking about dips and small bites that you can put out for a casual movie night or game-day party or dress up for a formal holiday gathering. 

Apple butter brie bites and spinach artichoke bites are two of my favorites for this, as is cranberry cream cheese dip.

And this marinated cheese? Definitely belongs on that list. It’s easy to throw together for a casual get-together but is pretty enough to serve at your fanciest dinner party.

And the best part? It’s so delicious that everyone will be asking you for the recipe.

Sweet dips are one of my favorite party desserts. Whether it’s a cookout, movie night, game night, or book club, I’m yet to see a group that can say no to a bowl of fruit dip and a spread of fun dippers.

This peanut butter fruit dip is my latest sweet dip and it might be one of my favorites. It’s got the rich flavor of peanut butter with a light, creamy texture that pairs great with everything from fruit to pretzels and cookies.

And a bonus? It’s super fast and easy to make, so you can prep it ahead of time and grab it on your way out the door.

Even as someone who cooks and bakes from scratch on a regular basis, I fall back way too often on coffee shop drinks or bottled lemonades from the store.

And then I remember that I can make my own iced shaken espresso or homemade strawberry lemonade or chai concentrate and it becomes a hyperfixation for a while. 

Last summer I was all about my watermelon lemonade and this year I’m all about this blueberry lemonade. It’s got a great blueberry flavor and is just the right amount of tart and sweet.

There’s nothing better than a cold glass of this lemonade while hanging out next to the pool!

If you grew up thinking that classic pecan pie and fruit pies were your only pie options, think again.

Don’t get me wrong; I love a slice of homemade cherry pie or apple crumb pie, but during the summer I really love cool and creamy pies.

I’m talking about pie recipes like no-bake s’mores pie, lemon icebox pie, or rich peanut butter pie. These pies require very little to no baking and are served chilled, so they are both a satisfying sweet treat and cool you down on a hot summer day.

This Oreo pie is my new favorite no-bake pie. It’s a dream for anyone who loves cookies and cream ice cream and wants those same flavors in pie form!

Cobblers are a summertime favorite for a reason. They’re easy, delicious, and there are so many different ways you can make them!

From biscuit-topped stone fruit cobbler and pie-crust-topped mixed berry cobbler to easy peach cobbler or easy blackberry cobbler and even savory tomato cobbler, I love them all. 

This easy cherry cobbler is a take on my homemade peach cobbler. It’s quick to make and can be made any time of year thanks to using cherry pie filling.

I know that this is primarily a baking site, but I still love sharing savory recipes with you all from time to time.

After all, we can’t survive on cheesecake alone, as much as I wish we could. 

Summer is one time of year when I really love to dig into savory recipes. Simple grilling recipes, appetizers, and especially easy summer salads are things I love to make at home, so of course I want to share them with my readers!

This watermelon feta salad is one recipe that I’m really looking forward to making all summer long and I think you’ll feel the same way.

Shrimp is one of my favorite foods. Honestly, I would choose it over a steak any day of the week.

Creamy pesto pasta with shrimp is one of my favorite date-night-in meals and it’s pretty hard to beat grilled garlic basil shrimp. And lately, all I can think about are these easy shrimp tacos.

If there’s one thing that the world has tried to tell us, it’s that grilling is for Dads and Dads only. But I am here to tell you that anyone can grill up a fantastic dinner.

So if you’ve been intimidated by firing up the grill before, set aside your nerves and give it a try! You can even dip your toe into the grilling waters by trying out a grill pan indoors before you head to the backyard with a gas or charcoal grill.

After all, wouldn’t it be fun to celebrate Dad this Father’s Day by making him a delicious dinner on the grill? These grilled pork chops are a great starting point – they’re super flavorful, juicy, and easy to make!

The instant summer hits, I start craving all the pineapple. There’s just something about a perfectly sweet pineapple that is so delicious and refreshing on a hot summer day.

I love to throw it on the grill for simple grilled pineapple, turn it into pineapple fluff, and I really love using it in cakes.

Pineapple upside-down cake might be the most well-known cake that uses pineapple in it, but it’s not the only one! My pineapple cake with cream cheese frosting is always a hit, pineapple angel food cake is a light and fluffy delight, and cherry pineapple dump cake and pineapple dump cake are perfect for taking to any cookout.

And today we’re going to add this easy pineapple cake to that list!
