No-Bake Butterscotch Bars If you are looking for a dessert that is full of flavor, yet light and not super rich, this is the dessert you want to make.

Beef Lo Mein

Easy Beef Lo Mein Quick and easy Beef Lo Mein made with tender flank steak, soft noodles, and a flavorful sauce. A simple 10-minute weeknight dinner everyone loves. I was browsing my email the other day and this Beef Lo Mein recipe popped out at me for two reasons - it looked easy and it was an Asian dish. We haven't had an international dish in quite some time so I decided to make this our own.  The flank steak was perfectly browned, the fusion of sauces soaked in with the noodles and made it the most simple, flavorful, weekday dish. Jace and I cleared our plates and even had leftovers.  • Difficulty Level: Easy/Intermediate • Serving size:  3 • Family friendly:  YES!  • Rating:  10/10 • Total cook time: 10 minutes •  Serving suggestions:  Serve with a side of sourdough bread and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions What You...

Chick-fil-A Chicken Nuggets - Copycat Recipe

Recipe and photos by Abbie Guerrero , food blogger and creator of Savvy with Abbie. All photos original. Chick-fil-A Chicken Nuggets I don't think I've ever had Chick-fil-A Chicken Nuggets, but if you try this recipe, you’ll have to let me know if it tastes similar. These chicken nuggets were fried perfectly—crispy, juicy, and golden in every bite. The heat was light, they were super addicting (I kept eating more off another plate), and Jace had seconds. The hardest part about this recipe is getting the perfect fry on the chicken without burning them (which has taken me a long time to perfect). You can adjust them to your flavor palate as well as your level of crispiness. Crispy, juicy homemade Chick-fil-A style chicken nuggets – perfectly golden, flavorful, and addicting in every bite. • Difficulty Level:  Intermediate • Serving size:  3-4 • Family friendly:  YES! My son and I both had seconds (and possibly thirds) • Rating:...

Homemade Air Fryer Cinnamon Sugar Pop-Tarts

Recipe and photos by Abbie Guerrero , food blogger and creator of Savvy with Abbie. All photos original. Homemade Cinnamon Sugar Pop-Tarts Our family loves pop-tarts, but unfortunately they come at a high price and a high ingredient list. With me only working 5–10 hours per week, I've been into cooking and baking more than usual. I decided to make these cinnamon sugar pop-tarts and let me tell you — I made 8 of them and they were gone in one day (I wish I was joking) — that's how good they were. We already made them a second time. The icing on top of the pop-tarts is homemade as well but with only 8 ingredients, it really was a simple breakfast, dessert, or snack option overall. Although we made 8 pop-tarts both the first and second time, it may be more or less depending on how thin the dough is and how big or small you want to make them. • Difficulty Level:  Easy/Intermediate • Serving size:  Makes 8 pop-tarts  • Family fri...
