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.

If you’re in my generation, there’s a certain 90s/early 2000s TV show that you probably think of when you hear the word “trifle.”

Listen, I do agree with Joey that all of the things that were in Rachel’s Thanksgiving trifle are good, but you won’t catch me eating them all together in the same dish, ok? Luckily, we can make a much better trifle ourselves.

I love making trifles because they are so easy but look so fancy! My brownie trifle is a big hit any time of year. I’ve also made ambrosia trifles at Easter and even pumpkin trifles during the fall. 

My homemade banana pudding isn’t exactly a trifle, but it is beautiful when served up in a trifle dish. So we can let it into the trifle club.

This time we are making a fresh strawberry trifle. It’s a no-bake beauty that is perfect for summer gatherings or as a centerpiece for any holiday dessert table.

Long-time MBA readers know how much I love mini desserts. I have made all kinds of mini cheesecakes, mini bundt cakes, and even mini cinnamon rolls over the years. 

These mini fruit tarts are my newest mini dessert love affair. With the buttery tart shell, luscious vanilla pudding, and bright, fresh fruit, they are a whole lot of goodness in a single bite (or two).

Since I made these during the summer I was able to use a whole variety of my favorite fruits, but I can’t wait to try a berry version, a tropical fruit version, and even a citrusy version during the winter months.

It’s like having multiple recipes all in one!

One thing we do really well here in the Midwest is summer produce. From the very best sweet corn to the juiciest strawberries and blueberries, our farmers sure know what they’re doing.

Most of the country’s tart cherries come out of Michigan. If you live in Michigan or one of the neighboring states, you probably have seen piles of these bright red beauties at your farmers’ markets.

This year, make sure you grab some and bring them home to make this sour cherry pie.

If you’ve been following MBA for a while, you know that I’m a big fan of my homemade bisquick mix. It’s one of my favorite homemade kitchen staples – maybe only surpassed by my pumpkin pie spice. 

I love using my homemade bisquick in everything from 7UP biscuits to impossible coconut pie. And of course bisquick pancakes are on the weekend breakfast menu all the time around here.

You also probably know how much I love my hash brown breakfast casserole. So when I realized I could use my homemade bisquick to make another super easy and delicious breakfast casserole, I was on it immediately.

Does anyone else like doing “breakfast for dinner”? Breakfast is arguably the best meal of the day, so it’s not hard to convince my family to eat things like hash brown breakfast casserole or sheet pan pancakes for dinner. 

This easy quiche recipe is the perfect “breakfast for dinner” option because you can use any of your favorite fillings to fit your family’s tastes. Or use it as a chance to clean out the fridge of leftover veggies and cheeses that need to be used up.

Whether you’re making it for dinner, a weekend breakfast, or for a special brunch, this is one recipe you’ll want to save to come back to again and again.

I love finding new ways to use my homemade bisquick mix. It’s one of my very favorite kitchen staples to keep on hand, and it makes so many recipes so quick and easy.

Recipes like apple cobbler and impossible coconut pie are staples for us, since I can toss them together in almost no time. And with our packed schedule these days, fast is necessary. 

These 7UP biscuits are yet another easy bisquick recipe. They have an unusual mix of ingredients that turns into super fluffy, buttery, tender biscuits that you’ll want to eat for every meal of the day.

We love a make-ahead breakfast around here. My family loves them because who wouldn’t want to wake up to a delicious breakfast. And I love them because I don’t have to think before I’ve had my coffee.

Whether it’s our favorite make-ahead breakfast casserole, overnight cinnamon rolls, or overnight french toast casserole, I just really appreciate being able to prep breakfast the night before and pop it in the oven in the morning.

You might not think of quiche as a make-ahead breakfast, but it really is. Make it the night before and serve it chilled the next day. It’s just as delicious and you spent exactly zero effort on it that morning.

This ham and cheese quiche is begging to be added to your next brunch menu, or even made on a Sunday night for you to eat all week long.

I came across this carrot bundt cake recipe in a bit of a strange way. 

My right-hand woman Stephie sent me a TikTok telling a story from Reddit of how a carrot cake recipe was threatening to pull a family apart. And it just so happened that the Redditor shared the recipe in their post.

Well, you know that I was curious and had to try this cake. 

I ended up making a couple of tweaks, including turning it into a bundt cake, but the end result is one great carrot cake recipe that would be an amazing addition to your Easter menu.
