Sheet Pan Quesadillas

Sheet pan meals aren’t new, so you may already have a sheet pan quesadilla recipe you love. But if not, pulling this together is fairly easy! We’re a big fan of Gimme Some Oven’s approach, but The Bookery favorite the Pioneer Woman also has one in Super Easy! The thing we’re loving about sheet pan quesadillas is that you get all the goodness of quesadillas without having to stand over the stove top making them one by one. This way, you assemble and bake once, speeding up the process and making sure everyone gets to eat at the same time!

Easy Mexican Rice

We’re willing to bet that Mexican rice is a popular side dish at your local Mexican restaurant. But if you’ve ever dabbled around in the kitchen adding this and that to attempt to make your own. . . you know that you can indeed mess up rice! If you’d rather not use a boxed version, this recipe can help you achieve a Mexican restaurant-worthy side dish in the same amount of time! Plus, it’s just a few ingredients that you likely already have on hand: oil, long-grain rice, garlic salt and cumin, chopped onion, chicken broth and tomato sauce. Try the recipe.

Brookies

So, a brookie is a cross between a brownie and a chocolate chip cookie—and what could be more delightful??? And we’re about making life easier, so we suggest using Ghiradelli’s prepared mixes to make this family favorite dessert. You can also use your favorite brownie mix and refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough. Feel free to make it your own and enjoy with a scoop of vanilla ice cream! We’re using this recipe.
