Basics: One Bowl No Mixer Cupcakes
There is one basic every family needs. Why cupcakes? Because cupcakes are always a last minute thing. Need to send something to school party? Forgot someone’s birthday is coming up?

The 9×13 Life: Outrageous Lotus Blondies
These are perhaps my favorite bar ever. And they couldn’t be easier to make. As long as you have a jar of Lotus Biscoff spread around, you’re good to go. When I looked at the list of our “Top 20” recipes of the past year (you can view the list here), I thought it…

This is the Best Peanut Butter Cup Recipe on the Whole Internet
What’s even more incredible is that these peanut butter cups are pareve (non-dairy; vegan). I’ve tried to make a copycat of Reese’s peanut butter cups before, trying lots of different recipes from all over, but none of them came out the way I imagined they should be. Whether the filling wasn’t tasty or creamy enough…
