I was talking about my site the other day, and someone made a recipe request: McDonald’s Sweet and Spicy Jam copycat recipe! It’s the first request that I’ve had. This recipe took quite a while to figure out, mostly because I never had it. So I had to do a bunch of reading online of what it was supposed to taste like, along with the ingredients list on the little container itself. If you’ve ever tasted it, give me a heads up about how authentic it is. Either way, I’ve heard it’s pretty good!
How to Make Homemade Strawberry Jam (Delicious Recipe)
This is a wonderful recipe for how to make homemade strawberry jam. You gotta trust me, it’s so much better than the store bought stuff, which contains all sorts of preservative and other yucky stuff. And it only has three ingredients: strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. I love to collect strawberries from my patch of evergreens. They are bursting with flavor … but I don’t get that many of them. I freeze them and make this jam. But don’t worry, you can use store bought strawberries, too.
Easy Chocolate Babka Bread Recipe With Hazelnuts and Rum
This easy chocolate babka bread recipe features a filling mixture with cocoa, hazelnuts, and rum. It’s a sweet bread that you can serve as a dessert. Babka is sometimes called the King of the Jewish breads, and for good reason. The sweet indulgence is a great recipe for celebrating the end of Passover. You can bake my version either in the oven or the bread machine. Its rise (haha! get it!) in popularity marks its transition from a holiday exclusive to year-round in bakeries worldwide.
The Secret To A Perfect Chocolate Raspberry Pavlova Recipe
Pavlova is an Australian meringue desert. This one is a chocolate raspberry pavlova recipe that is topped with fresh cream and chocolate shavings. I’ll admit that I am not the best meringue baker, but I took some liberties to make it easy peasy. I love the addition of the chocolate to the meringue. I am also in love with all berries. Raspberries are no exception! The secret to making this pavlova is to make sure it has no moisture while baking. That’s why spring is the time to bake a pavlova.
Classic Carrot Cake Recipe with Cream Cheese Icing
Since it’s hippity hoppity Easter time, I decided to make this classic carrot cake recipe with cream cheese icing. I do love me some cream cheese icing! It’s my guilty pleasure, rich and tangy, slathered generously over the moist, tender crumb of the cake. It makes the perfect pair. The versatility of this cake is fantastic, too, whether as a showstopper cake or delightful cupcakes. Either way, it comes out delicious, with that beautiful carrot color. Bugs Bunny will be so jealous!
How To Cook The Best Easter Ham
Today, I am going to show you how to cook the best Easter ham. Our family only eats ham occasionally, like every other year. This year, I decided to host an Easter dinner, which will feature this hammy ham and its wonderful glaze. It had nothing to do with wanting to take beautiful pictures of all the delicious things I will make. Not at all. The spice rub is very simple. You can leave, as is, or you can create a honey, brown sugar glaze that can be put on in the last 30 minutes of cooking.
Amazingly Easy Sweet Easter Bread Recipe
I’m slowly making my way to a complete Easter meal! And today, I have this easy sweet Easter bread recipe to serve at your dinner table. I realize that I just did a hot cross buns recipe, but this bread is for my centerpiece surrounded by colorful dyed eggs. I love the braided texture, and I think traditionally, you put some of those colorful eggs inside the braids, too. You can just use those chocolate eggs wrapped in pastel foil for a no-fuss decoration. Mine will be served on a cake platter.

I love Reese’s, but candy prices are through the roof! Here are some homemade Reese’s peanut butter “cups” for you to make. They are so good, and the best part is that you can use whatever ingredients you want without all of that yucky preservatives. If you want, you could also make your own peanut butter for them, use different chocolate, or throw in some Nutella instead. If you’re feeling adventurous, why not some sea salt sprinkled on top, or maybe crispy rice cereal? Or even caramel!
How To Make Colored Deviled Eggs For Easter (A Beautiful Rainbow)
Today I am going to show you how to make colored deviled eggs for Easter. These eggs came out absolutely gorgeous! They are also really easy to make. If you don’t want to use my deviled egg recipe, you can substitute your own. The secret is in how much food coloring to use for each egg set. But don’t worry, I have the exact drop measurements you need to make a rainbow of Easter egg colors. I gave my eggs bold colors (instead of a more pastel palette) because I wanted them to pop on the plate.
Beautiful Green Rainbow Cake Recipe for St. Patrick’s Day
The luck of the Irish is in every bite of this St. Patrick’s Day green rainbow cake. It’s bright, happy colors are just the thing to bring some shamrock and gold to the end of the rainbow. I made four layers, but you can make as many (or as little) as you want. You can also change out the colors, if you want an actual rainbow. Below, I included a mascarpone cheese substitution, too, if you can’t find it. The cake itself is a simple vanilla cake, but not overpoweringly so.
Super Duper Korean Mung Bean Sprouts Salad Banchan Recipe (숙주나물 무침)
This Korean mung bean sprouts salad banchan recipe (숙주나물 무침) has a special place in my heart. It uses the bean sprouts that someone might normally think of with Pad Thai, but you can literally use any kind of bean sprout. Even sprout your own beans, if you’d like! It’s one of The Kid’s (and my own) favorite Korean banchans (those are the little Korean side dishes you get when you have Korean food). Maybe we just both like bean sprouts, or maybe it’s something about the satisfying texture.
