My sister told me this is the best cake she's ever had. And believe me, my family knows cake. Generally when I crave something sweet, it's your typical birthday-type cake with a chocolate base and buttercream frosting, or white cake with chocolate buttercream icing. But this bundt-style coffee cake has officially made my top dessert list. It's decadent, extremely heavy, and even good for breakfast.
Read MoreRicotta and Tomato Pizza Frittata
On a whim, I created this vegetarian, gluten-free frittata for brunch for Easter (which also happened to be Passover weekend). Don't be fooled by the vegetarian/gluten-free thing - this is NOT healthy. I made this for my whole family and everyone agreed it was the best frittata they ever had. This is cheesy, delicious, gooey and a seriously good alternative to pizza, especially for breakfast.

When my mom made these for Super Bowl, I honestly didn't know if I was going to like them. I've never eaten a chicken wing in my entire life (and have no desire to do so - too labor intensive), and I am so over the cauliflower craze. That being said, I could not stop eating every. last. bite. The great thing about these is that you don't have to be vegetarian to love them (although any vegetarians in the room will be thrilled). You can also use gluten-free breadcrumbs and you've got the least gluten free-y, veggie dish I've ever tried. You would never know this was (sort of) healthy. Make for a party, nosh on it at home, or place it in front of you while watching TV. This is a crowd pleaser - even if the crowd is just you.
Read MoreThai Peanut Pasta with Shrimp
My husband made this for me for the first time. I fell in love (with the pasta; was already in love with the husband). I decided to make it for myself while adding more veggies and changing the marinade on the shrimp. You don't have to follow my directions for the veggies or protein though - mix it up and create whatever you'd like. As long as you have the sauce and pasta, you've got this dish in the bag. It's super easy, better than take-out and you can double the sauce recipe to freeze for another time. This dish is the gift that keeps on giving!
