Cinnamon Toast Crunch French Toast

Amy Oztan — Fri, 25 Apr 2025 18:41:07 +0000

Believe it or not, adding crushed Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal is the secret to great French Toast! But here's the weird thing: you don't end up with a dish that tastes overwhelmingly like the cereal, which would be way too sweet. It definitely has a great cinnamon flavor, but more importantly, Cinnamon Toast Crunch French...

How to Construct the Best Breakfast Tortilla Sandwich

Amy Oztan — Sun, 30 Mar 2025 17:00:09 +0000

This isn't really a recipe, more like a guide to assembling and folding a breakfast tortilla sandwich that makes the most sense. It's not the prettiest of sandwiches, but after one bite, you won't care. Tortilla sandwiches flew around social media a few years ago, and I was intrigued. I love quesadillas, but this was...

Fancy Baked Ziti

Amy Oztan — Wed, 25 Dec 2024 03:15:49 +0000

This baked ziti isn't the kind your local pizza place makes, with just ziti and sauce and cheese. But it isn't pretentious, either. It's a perfect mix of pasta, cheese, and flavor! It's not often that I create a ready-to-publish recipe on the first try. I think it happened once before, although I can't remember...

Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Banana Muffins

Amy Oztan — Wed, 25 Sep 2024 19:26:45 +0000

Bananas, chocolate, and peanut butter are in perfect harmony in these delicious muffins! I always end up with too many bananas. My family goes through a lot of bananas, so I never want to run out, but sometimes I guess wrong, or too many get ripe at the same time, and I need to do...

How to Use a Popcorn Sifter Bowl So That It Actually Works

Amy Oztan — Sun, 08 Sep 2024 04:25:52 +0000

Looking for an easy way to get those unpopped and under-popped kernels out of your popcorn? I found a good solution-but it only works if you don't follow the instructions. I usually make my popcorn in a pan. A saucepan if it's just for me, a big soup pot if it's for more than a...

Banana Buttermilk Cake with Chocolate Ganache

Amy Oztan — Sat, 07 Sep 2024 01:10:36 +0000

This banana buttermilk cake is the perfect mix of bananas and chocolate, with just enough sweetness to taste like dessert, but not so much that it's cloying. A few years ago I was looking for something to do with overripe bananas that wasn't muffins or bread. As good as those are, we always end up...

The Best Pesto Ever, The Easy Way or The Nonna Way

Amy Oztan — Sun, 21 Jul 2024 03:48:34 +0000

Judging by my completely unscientific sample size of about half a dozen friends, most people make pesto with a food processor. But there's a better way. Two, actually, but not everybody wants to do it the way the nonnas do in Italy. Good thing there's a much easier way that's just as tasty! One of...
