Love the versatility and so easy.  Perfect for beginning bakers.

"When I want to turn a Southern staple into a little bite of pure joy, I make my Cheesy Country Ham Grit Balls. They’re crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside, and full of that salty ham flavor we all love."  Comment from 
Kardea Brown of The Food Network

What a great way to use leftover grits and ham.  Why didn't I think of that?

"Why buy a frozen cheesecake when you can make an even better fresh cheesecake at home? This easy chocolate cheesecake recipe is decadently delicious and loaded with chocolate flavor."  Comment from Taste of Home

This cheesecake looks absolutely delicious!  As much as I love cheesecake, I have never had chocolate cheesecake.  Since I found the chocolate chip cheesecake many decades ago, that is all I would make.  I need to expand my horizons.

"A luscious, chocolate-studded cannoli filling separates the tender layers of this rich cannoli cake, which (surprise!) starts with a packaged mix."  Comment from Taste of Home

This is going to be my new favorite cake.  That chocolate-studded cannoli filling sold me.

DIY In-N-Out Burger at Home

"Craving that iconic Double-Double but not the drive or the line? Bring it home instead! Juicy beef, melty cheese, crisp lettuce, tangy pickles, and that legendary sauce come together in a burger that hits all the right notes. Bonus: you get to control every layer (and yes, double-ups are totally encouraged). Homemade, satisfying, and way cheaper than the drive-thru. Just how I like it!"  Comment from Everyday Cheapskate

Since I live in Florida where there are no In And Out Burger restaurants, I can't wait to try this since I have heard so much about their burger.

"Layers of sausage gravy, cheese and noodles work so magically together, you'll wonder why you never ate lasagna for breakfast before. Three different types of cheese (Cheddar, Parmesan and mozzarella) work together to ensure you'll have a bubbling lasagna with crisp edges. For easy preparation, use no-bake lasgana noodles."  Comment from The Food Network

I'm wondering why I didn't think of this.  This breakfast lasagna looks delicious!
