This Apple Dump Cake from Scratch is an easy fall dessert made without cake mix! Serve it with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream and caramel sauce.

I used my homemade Apple Pie Filling to make this cake and adjusted my Vanilla Cake recipe for the top layer. It is absolutely perfect!

Apple season is here and I am celebrating it with Apple Dump Cake from scratch. This very easy dessert is made without a store-bought mix since I never have these on hand. It’s too easy to make it! I also used my quick apple pie filling and the result is mouth-watering. Sweet filling topped with crunchy topping just needs a large scoop of ice cream or a dollop of fresh whipped cream! Enjoy!

Skillet Chicken Thighs

These Skillet Chicken Thighs are the best, pan-seared boneless skinless chicken thighs ever! This stove-top cooking method is simple to follow, even for beginners.

Serve them with roasted potatoes and carrots, sauteed spinach or mushrooms and a simple salad, for a wholesome meal your whole family will love. For a cast iron version baked with vegetables in the oven, you may like my Garlic and Herb Chicken and Potatoes.

Today, I am going back to basics. Boneless skinless chicken thighs are seasoned and cooked in a skillet, on the stove. My simple seasoning mix with spices that most likely you already have in your pantry adds delicious flavor. You can easily cook a larger batch and keep it for meal prep though out the week. These thighs are perfect as a main dish, can be grilled or baked, but also sliced and used as a salad topping. You will love this recipe!

Egg Drop Soup

This Egg Drop Soup is one of the easiest Chinese soups you can make in your own kitchen from scratch. Just a few pantry ingredients and 15 minutes is all you need to make it!

Easy Asian dishes are my favorite! This soup is on our menu often, just like my 10-Minute Teriyaki Shrimp or the Garlic Noodles.

One of the easiest soups and Asian dishes you can make at home is hands down Egg Drop Soup. It’s made by slowly pouring beaten eggs into flavorful hot chicken stock and stirring constantly to create ribbons. A finishing touch of sesame oil and fresh and crisp chopped green onions adds even more flavor to this classic restaurant favorite!
