I love making this easy appetizer recipe because nothing goes to waste. You use the potato skins for the recipe and the inside part can be used to make mashed potatoes or Shepherd’s Pie! This recipe makes 8 servings, but can easily be doubled or tripled if you need to.

Prep the recipe ahead of time by baking the potatoes first and scooping out the soft middle portion. If I’m making it for a party or special occasion, I’ll start the recipe in the morning and finish it off just before I want to serve it.

I love homemade brownies, but you know what I love even more? Brownie Parfaits. They are brownies on overdrive! They remind me a little of a dessert you might see on a fancy restaurant menu. They are perfect for Valentine’s Day with their sweet elegance.

I made a batch of my favorite brownie recipe. You could also use a boxed brownie mix – I won’t judge! Whatever works for you and your schedule.

If you haven’t yet tried a poke cake, you are missing out! They are seriously delicious and one of the easiest and most decadent cakes you’ll ever make.

All you have to do is take a box of cake mix and bake the cake in a 9x13 pan according to the directions on the package. As soon as the cake comes out from the oven, poke holes all over the cake.
