Sometimes you need a leisurely breakfast casserole to impress your guests. This simple recipe uses oil-free frozen hash browns, which I always have on hand. For the vegetable filling, feel free to substitute any of your favorite veggies, such as broccoli, zucchini, peppers, and asparagus.
Fig Newtons are a classic cookie from the past, but these reinterpreted gems are much healthier and tastier than anything store-bought. In these bars, delicious gluten-free cookie dough is layered with a thick, rich, jammy fig puree, a perfect pairing. Figs are honey-sweet and have a unique, slightly berry-like flavor that makes these cookies almost magical. They’re great as a breakfast, snack, or dessert.
Loaded nachos are the ultimate game-day appetizer for sharing with family and
