Welcome to the weekend, my friends! My day started with a beautiful foggy drive, yoga, and then a giant brunch for my boys and some of their friends. This easy bacon, cheesy scrambled eggs, and a mountain of fluffy waffles added up to full bellies and happy smiles as they split off to either head for synagogue or to the gym. (Yes, teenage boys can apparently eat stacks of waffles and then immediately go workout. That is soooo not my world.)

ON THE BLOGS THIS WEEK: Roasting sausage with peppers and onions isn’t complicated. It’s not trendy. But, this Super Easy Sausage and Peppers is 100% absolutely that dish.

You know the feeling. You’ve got maybe 10 minutes before everyone starts asking for dinner, and you need something fast, hearty, and actually satisfying. That’s exactly when I reach for this Southwest Chicken Soup. 10 minutes, friends. And yes, I’ve timed it.

Air Fryer Hasselback Potatoes are proof that a little extra preparation goes a long, long way. The secret? It takes less than a minute with a chef’s knife. Your guests will rave about these crispy edges, loaded with fresh parmesan cheese and Italian parsley.

This Confetti Rice has been declared the best rice we’ve ever made. Yes. I said that. I served it with Crispy Italian Oven Chicken and the whole meal was a win.

Have you tried a mayonnaise cake? I know, it sounds suspicious at first. As it turns out, Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake is actually an old-fashioned recipe that was likely in your grandmother’s recipe box. And, fortunately, it has stood the test of time quite well. This is one fantastic cake.

Isn’t fall baking season just the best? Rich and full of warm spices, topped with the irresistible, buttery crunch of pecan streusel, this Pumpkin Crunch Dump Cake just might be the easiest, most tantalizing dessert to come out of your oven this year.

What I’m CRAVING: This Mac and Cheese with Salami looks sooo good! My mouth is watering and I’m craving that cheesy goodness today. My guys love salami anytime I include it in a meal, so

My peanut butter blossoms are everyone’s classic holiday cookie in bar form! Our kids love that they’re both fun and easy to make! These chewy peanut butter cookie bars are studded with Hershey kisses which make everyone so happy.

My favorite part is that they are easier than cookies; no rolling needed, just slice into bars and serve! Bonus, this recipe includes a how-to video!

Our son was begging for us to make “those Hershey kiss cookies” but I had been running around all day and though it may sound silly, the thought of rolling out every single cookie sounded exhausting; so I made them all in a pan and they turned out adorably delicious!!

Ingredients for Peanut Butter Blossom Cookie Bars

• Peanut Butter: that classic nutty flavor and creamy richness we all love.
• Unsalted Butter: keeps the bars soft and melt-in-your-mouth.
• Sugar and Brown Sugar: sweetness plus a little caramel depth for chewiness.
• Vanilla: ties all the flavors together.
• Egg and Egg Yolk: hold everything together while adding tenderness.
• Flour: gives the bars structure so they bake up just right.
• Baking Soda and Baking Powder: the lift that keeps them light instead of dense.
• Cornstarch: the secret to that soft, chewy bite.
• Salt: just enough to balance the sweetness.
• Hershey’s Kisses: the signature chocolate topper that makes them taste (and look!) like the classic blossom cookies we all grew up with.

How to Make Peanut Butter Blossom Bars

Mascarpone Ice Cream is velvety and rich like gelato, but has that cheesecake-like tang that makes each bite feel absolutely indulgent. This is not one of those cottage cheese rip offs that you have to convince yourself tastes good. There’s no going back from this kind of dreamy decadence.

Mascarpone Ice Cream

I tried a few different ways to develop this recipe. At first, I thought this would need to be a custard-based ice cream, made with eggs. But, the results of that attempt were actually my least favorite. The texture wasn’t super smooth, and you could totally taste the eggs. The mascarpone was too subtle.

I’m glad that I stuck with it, though. Because it turns out that the simple combination of mascarpone, condensed milk, cream, and milk resulted in a perfectly smooth and creamy, barely tangy ice cream that kept me coming back for more. I was in paradise.

This ice cream is perfect for pairing with fruits. That should come as no surprise. Because fresh fruit and cheese just go together. Always. But, I like to kick it up a notch with grilled peaches, a warm berry sauce, or even a baked apple. Drizzle some salted caramel sauce on top, and you can put a fork in me. I’m done.

The most popular question I get is whether it’s possible to make ice cream without a machine. The answer is YES. You can make ice cream without a machine. Find the full directions here!
