Honey Walnut & Pecan Baklava

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!

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.

Easy Sausage Stuffed Jalapeño Poppers

 

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!

Butterscotch Cupcakes with Creamy Butterscotch Frosting

Butterscotch brings back so many memories of my childhood. It is one of those old-fashioned flavors that you just do not see as often anymore, which makes it feel even more special.

We did not have many sweets in our house when I was growing up (which is probably why I have such a sweet tooth now!), so even getting a piece of hard candy was a treat. We usually had cinnamon, peppermint, and butterscotch candies, and butterscotch was always my favorite.
