Here’s a quick and healthy way to jumpstart your day.

Your morning favorites – eggs, sausage and hash browns – are packed into a cheesy casserole that can be prepped the night before. All you have to do is pop it in the oven and relax with your Bailey’s and coffee – I mean, after all, it is the holidays – while it bakes.

Don’t let Beef Wellington scare you. It’s basically prepping and assembling four components.

Just as decadent as it is beautiful, this chocolate mousse strawberry shortcake is sure to satisfy everyone’s sweet tooth.

Butter, brown sugar, saltines and chocolate – yes, only four ingredients – combine to create saltine toffee so crisp and delish, you will not be able to stop eating it.

This creamy pumpkin custard is full of the warm flavors of fall and topped with a crisp, caramelized sugar layer that is such a delight to crack into.

Thanksgiving dinner is one of the most anticipated meals of the year, and one that truly keeps on giving. And by that, I mean giving you leftovers for days. But instead of just piling them on a plate to zap in the microwave, how about transforming them into a hot, juicy dip? Think French dip, but with that celebrated holiday bird.

Say hello to sweet potato pecan crisp – luscious, crunchy and insanely delicious. Like eye-rolling delicious.

Everything but the Bagel Seasoning is everywhere these days, including on this Dutch baby.

Pretzel sticks are coated in melted white candy coating, arranged and decorated as a spider web, and embellished with spider sprinkles.

When pies and lattes are just too basic, venture over to the other side of the patch with these creatively delicious pumpkin churros.

It’s simple, creamy, and deliciously rich, served with a crisp parmesan crostini, that when dunked, makes for the perfect bite.

During a family visit, Audrey Alfaro made this elevated French toast with her aunt. It’s become one of her favorite breakfasts.

This version, made in a slow cooker, creates chicken so tender is falls apart in a comforting, delicious gravy swimming with veggies and moist, cloud-like dumplings.

This big burger isn’t for the faint of heart.

Cling to summer with this vibrant and oh so pretty salad.

Pancit translates to “noodles,” and bihon are thin rice noodles. It’s a flavorful one-pot dish.

Zucchini never tasted so good. (That is, you can’t actually taste it in this recipe.)

The salsa is a mixture of pineapple, bell pepper, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño, lime juice and seasonings. It’s fresh, crisp, sweet and a pinch spicy.
