Easy Energy Balls
These easy no-bake energy balls are quick to make, call for simple ingredients, and are one of my go-to homemade energy bites! Use our recipe below as a guide. Many of the ingredients can be substituted (for example, quick oats for rolled oats or flaxseed meal for chia seeds). You can also add some extra ingredients based on your needs. Protein powder, for example, is a nice addition (I’d use 1 to 2 scoops).

Quick Easy Chocolate Croissants
For these easier chocolate croissants, we use a store-bought puff pastry sheet instead of making our croissant dough at home. Puff pastry needs to be thawed before being used in our recipe. I take my sheet out of the freezer, place it onto a plate, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it sit in the fridge for a few hours. You can also thaw at room temperature for 40 to 50 minutes.

Easy Soft Flour Tortillas
How to make flour tortillas that are soft, pliable, and perfect for folding or wrapping. Our recipe for the best homemade tortillas uses a few tricks. Dissolving the salt in the warm water helps season the dough. I especially recommend doing this if you are using coarser salt. Rolling the tortillas very thin and dialing in the heat of your pan guarantees bubbles, which create that perfect texture (our video shows just how large these bubbles can be).

Brown Sugar Roasted Strawberries
Roasted strawberries are shockingly good. As they roast, the flavor of the berries cooks down and concentrates. Use this recipe with ripe strawberries for incredible flavor, or use it to enhance less desirable strawberries! These make a fantastic dessert with some whipped cream, but I also love them in the morning added to my everyday oatmeal or Greek yogurt.

These are the most tender and fluffy biscuits from scratch we’ve ever made. These baking powder biscuits are big, tall, tender, and delicious. My preferred method is to get out my food processor. It’s an excellent tool for cutting the cold butter into our flour mixture since it’s quick. If you don’t feel like getting your food processor out, you can use your hands or a pastry cutter to work the butter into the flour (tips are provided in the notes section).
