Pimento cheese is a Southern classic for good reason. Creamy, cheesy, and packed with little bites of sweet pimento, it’s one of those simple recipes that works for just about any occasion. Spread it thick on sandwiches, serve it with crackers, scoop it up with fresh vegetables, or keep a bowl in the refrigerator for an easy snack. This homemade version combines sharp cheddar, Monterey Jack, cream cheese, and pimentos for a rich, flavorful spread that’s hard to stop eating.
If you’re looking for a simple homemade frosting with a little something extra, this Brown Sugar Buttercream is an easy twist on classic buttercream. The brown sugar adds a subtle caramel-like flavor that makes this frosting delicious on cakes and cupcakes.
If you’ve never made baklava before, don’t let all those beautiful layers fool you—it’s easier to make than you might think! This Honey Walnut & Pecan Baklava combines buttery, flaky phyllo dough with crunchy pecans and walnuts, all finished with a warm honey mixture flavored with vanilla and lemon zest.
It’s sweet, crisp, and full of nutty flavor, and the honey soaks into all those delicate layers to make every bite delicious. This is one of those desserts that looks fancy enough for a special occasion but is still simple enough to make at home.
I use this simple sausage and cheese mixture in all kinds of recipes, but I originally started making it to stuff jalapeño peppers. If you love this filling, be sure to check out my Stuffed Squash & Zucchini recipe here. Even people who don’t usually like squash will love it prepared this way!
The best part? The stuffing only requires three simple ingredients: sausage, cream cheese, and cheddar cheese. It really doesn’t get any easier than that!
