Grandma is known for many legendary recipes. Whether her towering coconut cake, her perfect Easter ham, or her famous chicken and dumplings, she’s no novice in the kitchen. She’s an expert cook and baker, but sometimes it’s just too hot (or busy) to turn on the oven or the stovetop. That’s right—even Southern grandmothers can appreciate a cooking shortcut from time to time.

Whenever I make muffins on Sunday, I feel like Monday morning goes a little more smoothly. So I try to make muffins as often as possible. Though very easy to make, there are three tips to keep in mind when making muffins. First, make sure that you don’t overmix the batter, which can cause the muffins to become tough. Second, spray the paper liner with cooking spray before adding the batter. This will ensure you don’t leave half the muffin stuck to the liner. Lastly, let the muffins rest in the tin for a couple of minutes after baking, but then remove them and let them finish cooling on a rack. This keeps the bottoms of the muffins from getting soggy.

As a recent college grad, I can safely say I am a ramen connoisseur and expert. I’ve tried my fair share of brands—from the more expensive Momofuku to the $1 packs of Maruchan. And while you can eat the ramen as it comes in the package, I always got creative with my ramen dinners. A little shredded chicken, a boiled egg or two, and some hot sauce always helped elevate the package contents and made me feel like I was getting more for my money.

All these pesto recipes include basil, but not all of them just use basil. If you are a pesto lover like me (and a true basil fan), these recipes are for you. Some include other leafy greens like spinach, chives, and Swiss chard. Many of these recipes don't break the bank by using a nut or seed other than pine nuts. There is a recipe for everyone here—and plenty of ways to change up this herbaceous, bright sauce.

Listen, I’m a huge fan of everything pumpkin. When fall rolls around, I get giddy at the thought of consuming everything and anything pumpkin-spiced. Coffee, desserts, candy, and even the scented stuff I can’t eat (but desperately want to). But it's time to come to terms that there are other fall flavors that sometimes get overshadowed by the kingpin that is pumpkin—and maybe it's about time we give them their time to shine.

Whether you prefer penne or fettuccine, a hearty plate of pasta with Alfredo sauce always hits the spot after a long day. Tasty as is or made more filling with steamed broccoli or strips of crispy breaded chicken, the star of this comforting dish is its rich, creamy sauce. Despite the fact that Olive Garden's signature Alfredo sauce used to be shrouded in secrecy, the savory stuff is generally straightforward in terms of its ingredients, which include butter, heavy cream, garlic, Parmesan cheese, and some seasonings and herbs like parsley. However, it can still be deceptively difficult to get right. Besides flavor, of course, the sign of a restaurant-worthy cream sauce usually comes down to consistency; Alfredo sauce shouldn't be so thick that it's unappetizingly goopy or so thin that it can't cling to pasta properly.

If there’s one thing McDonald’s knows how to do, it’s keep us coming back for more—and make utterly delicious food, of course. Typically, we’re taking return trips to the Golden Arches because we can’t get enough of its McFlurrys or burgers—and, more recently, its $5 meal deal.
