"You can never go wrong with a simple take on a classic dish. A quick toss with salt and olive oil definitely does the trick when it comes to these perfectly roated Brussels sprouts." Comment from Food Network
Love this recipe! This is my favorite brussels sprouts recipe that I highly recommend. I would not change a thing.

"The best part of this twist on pigs-in-a-blanket isn't the roasted Brussels sprouts, buttery puff pastry or even the pleasantly salty prosciutto: it's the Parmesan cheese that is cleverly pressed into the dough while rolling and then sprinkled on top before baking. There's umami goodness throughout and toasty cheesiness all around." Comment from Food Network
This recipe is genius! They are the perfect appetizer and I can image a plate of them at the buffet table disappearing fast. I would love to have them for snacks. The brussels sprouts wrapped in buttery puff pastry sounds amazing!

"Cinnamon Roll Cake features a soft homemade cake that’s swirled with the most scrumptious cinnamon roll filling! It’s baked to perfection in a casserole dish in just 30 minutes before being served with a generous amount of sugary sweet glaze." Comment from The Recipe Rebel
I have never made a cinnamon roll from scratch since it takes so long and I usually make the refrigerated canned cinnamon rolls. This recipe is somewhere in between scratch and the canned rolls and I love that. I'm curious to try it!

"We can't talk about the iconic guava-and-cheese pairing without highlighting on of the pastries that celebrate it best: pastelillos. The Puerto Rican equivalent of a turnover, these pastelillos rely on storebought puff pastry to achieve that flaky crust that distinguishes them from their counterpart, the empanada." Comment from Food Network
These Guava Cheese Turnovers, like the guava empanadas, bring back childhood memories of a visit to a cuban restaurant in Ybor City where we would go to get a cuban sandwich followed by a Guava Cheese Turnover or empanada. These visits bring back wonderful memories and I still enjoy these turnovers when I visit a cuban restaurant or bakery. So happy to have the recipe to make at home.

"For recipe developer Larisa Alvarez, the age-old combination of guava paste and cream cheese brings back memories of sitting at the breakfast table, munching on sweet bites of guava paste coated with cream cheese before a long day at school. These empanadas balance out the sweetness of the ripe guava with the unmistakeable tang of cream cheese and a sprinkle of queso duro — an intensely salty and savory hard cheese — in a golden, handheld shell." Comment from Food Network
These empanadas also bring back childhood memories of going to a cuban restaurant in Ybor City for a cuban sandwich, was always followed by a guava empanada or turnover that we could take home and if we were lucky we would be treated to a fruity ice cream treat called helados. They were special trips that I always looked forward to and still do. One of my favorite desserts and I am so happy to have the recipe to make at home.

"These homemade oatmeal cream pies recipe bakes up perfectly chewy with lightly crisp edges and that signature bend in the center, thanks to tested ratios of brown sugar, butter, and quick oats.

For sure this is a nostalgic treat that I remember enjoying as a child and still enjoy the ones that come from the grocery store. I am very happy to have a recipe so I can make them at home.

"To track down the most clever uses for leftover plastic fruit containers, we tapped into the Reddit hive mind and saw what people were saying on a zero-waste thread. As expected, the responses did not disappoint, and we can back up several of them with our personal experiences as well. So, without further ado, let's get to it so you can stop tossing your plastic fruit container straight into the trash and breathe a little bit of extra life into them before they eventually find themselves in a landfill. It's a small win, but it'll be a win for both the planet and us all the same." Comment from Food Republic
Those fruit containers are actually pretty useful and I recycle them much like the advise in the article. However, I did learn some new clever ideas.

"What I absolutely love about air fryer fried chicken wings is that there’s no messy breading stations, no vats of oil, and no babysitting the stove like there is with deep frying.
Just a quick toss with pantry spices, a little baking powder for extra crispiness, and the air fryer does the heavy lifting! The result is crispy skin, juicy meat, and a flavor that stands up all on its own, even before you add sauce!" Comment from Life Love and Good Food
Delicious and easy air fryer chicken wings are perfect for a party. Air fryer recipes are so much faster and my new alternative to the stove.

"With very little work, it transforms pork chops into a comforting meal that will feed a family and then some. I’ve shared it with countless friends and family—even my vegetarian sister who will cook meat for close friends—and all report that it has become a go-to for busy, cold winter days. Add a side of mashed potatoes and a side salad, and dinner is on the table." Comment from Simply Recipes
