Irish Cream Poke Cake

Total Time:1 hour 30 min
Servings:12 pieces
Test Kitchen Approved
From the Recipe Creator: I served this cake as dessert one evening when my parents were visiting. They informed me this was the only cake they wanted me to make for holidays, birthdays, and all other celebrations moving forward. —Lauren Habermehl, Pewaukee, Wisconsin
Nutrition Facts: 1 piece: 640 calories, 44g fat (21g saturated fat), 139mg cholesterol, 381mg sodium, 51g carbohydrate (35g sugars, 0 fiber), 6g protein.

Just in time for St. Patrick’s Day, our new Irish cream poke cake is the perfect St. Patrick’s Day dessert to serve right after all that corned beef and colcannon. It starts with a chocolate cake (from a mix!) that’s poked all over, then filled with Irish cream pudding and finished with whipped Irish cream chocolate frosting and chocolate curls.

Marry Me Salmon

Total Time:40 min
Servings:4
Test Kitchen Approved
From the Recipe Creator: Inspired by the infamous Marry Me chicken recipe, this is my salmon version featuring cream, sun-dried tomatoes, basil and spinach. —Lauren Habermehl, Pewaukee, Wisconsin
Nutrition Facts: 1 serving: 698 calories, 55g fat (25g saturated fat), 162mg cholesterol, 1387mg sodium, 22g carbohydrate (5g sugars, 4g fiber), 30g protein.

Whether or not you believe in the power of Marry Me recipes, at the very least, they make a delicious dinner. We riffed on the viral Marry Me chicken here with salmon instead for something a little more luxe. Serve it over tender orzo with a side of veggies (like the cabbage Caesar salad below!) and dig in.

3/19

Vegan Scalloped Potatoes

Total Time:2 hours
Servings:9
Test Kitchen Approved
From the Recipe Creator: While this dish is vegan, it still delivers on the creamy and delicious flavors of standard scalloped potatoes. We use dairy-free cheese, soy milk, vegan butter, nutritional yeast and more to harness all the flavor of the classic side dish. —Margaret Knoebel, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Nutrition Facts: 1 serving: 214 calories, 16g fat (8g saturated fat), 0 cholesterol, 686mg sodium, 15g carbohydrate (2g sugars, 1g fiber), 3g protein.

Easter is a little early this year (April 5th!), so it’s almost time to start prepping. Scalloped potatoes are a classic Easter side dish, but as it turns out, dairy is entirely optional. If you are expecting any plant-based guests, prepare this indulgent vegan option that the whole table will love.

Carrot Cake Cinnamon Rolls

Total Time:50 min
Servings:12 rolls
Test Kitchen Approved
From the Recipe Creator: This recipe produces carrot-forward cinnamon rolls with a soft, fluffy texture and warm spices. They're the ultimate springy brunch recipe! —Molly Allen, Hood River, Oregon
Nutrition Facts: 1 roll: 625 calories, 25g fat (15g saturated fat), 99mg cholesterol, 460mg sodium, 93g carbohydrate (47g sugars, 3g fiber), 9g protein.

Is there a more perfect Easter brunch idea than carrot cake cinnamon rolls? The dough is flavored with shredded carrots and ground cinnamon, then rolled up with a sweet, warming filling made from brown sugar, chopped pecans, cinnamon, nutmeg and clove. And just like any good carrot cake, they’re finished with cream cheese frosting.

5/19

Roasted Cabbage Caesar Salad

Total Time:25 min

Test Kitchen Approved
From the Recipe Creator: In my opinion, cabbage is one of the most overlooked vegetables. This roasted cabbage Caesar recipe is my attempt to make it sexy. —Lauren Habermehl, Pewaukee, Wisconsin

Cabbage is finally getting the rebrand it deserves. We’ve been indulging in all sorts of cool cabbage recipes lately, like this roasted cabbage Caesar salad. Here, the cruciferous vegetable is sliced into wedges, roasted, then finished in your favorite store-bought or homemade Caesar dressing.

Cheddar Bay Biscuit Chicken Potpie

Total Time:1 hour 5 min
Servings:8
Test Kitchen Approved
From the Recipe Creator: This recipe combines two of my family's most favorite foods: chicken pot pie and Red Lobster's Cheddar Bay Biscuits! —Lauren Habermehl, Pewaukee, Wisconsin
Nutrition Facts: 1 serving: 570 calories, 35g fat (17g saturated fat), 121mg cholesterol, 1005mg sodium, 41g carbohydrate (6g sugars, 2g fiber), 25g protein.

It’s hard to beat a classic chicken potpie, but swap the pie crust with a savory lid made from Red Lobster’s famous Cheddar Bay Biscuits, and there’s no contest: I’d go for the cheesy, fluffy biscuits. It’s just as easy as any chicken potpie, maybe even easier since you use a box mix for the topping.

7/19

Reuben Sliders

Total Time:50 min
Servings:6
Test Kitchen Approved
From the Recipe Creator: My husband and I enjoyed a pan of these hot and melty Swiss cheese and corned beef Reuben sliders during our weekend movie night. They’re so flavorful and satisfying, and I know they’ll be a big hit at our Super Bowl party! —Nancy Mock, Southbridge, Massachusetts
Nutrition Facts: 1 serving: 538 calories, 31g fat (17g saturated fat), 128mg cholesterol, 1725mg sodium, 38g carbohydrate (14g sugars, 3g fiber), 31g protein.

Not sure what to do with all that leftover corned beef from St. Patrick’s Day? Layer it into these Reuben sliders with Thousand Island dressing, sauerkraut and Swiss cheese. A generous brushing of caraway butter on top of the Hawaiian rolls before baking adds another layer of flavor. It’s a great way to repurpose leftovers into something entirely different.

8/19

Pull-Apart Deviled Egg Easter Carrot

Total Time:1 hour 10 min
Servings:12
Test Kitchen Approved
From the Recipe Creator: This festive and adorable carrot-shaped deviled egg arrangement is always the centerpiece of our Easter lunch. —Lauren Habermehl, Pewaukee, Wisconsin
Nutrition Facts: 1 serving: 218 calories, 19g fat (4g saturated fat), 283mg cholesterol, 349mg sodium, 1g carbohydrate (0 sugars, 0 fiber), 9g protein.

Deviled eggs are a must-have on the Easter table, and I love that this recipe reimagines the classic appetizer into something so fun and festive. Arrange egg halves as close together as possible into a carrot shape, then use a sun-dried tomato and roasted red pepper flavored filling to cover the bottom triangle and a basil Parmesan filling on top for the stems.

9/19

Million-Dollar Gnocchi

Total Time:1 hour 20 min
Servings:6
Test Kitchen Approved
From the Recipe Creator: Million-dollar gnocchi is a dish that screams indulgence! There are so many layers of savory flavor in this creamy sauce, and it’s just perfect with the tender bite of potato gnocchi dumplings. This recipe makes dinner extra special. —Nancy Mock, Southbridge, Massachusetts
Nutrition Facts: 1 serving: 881 calories, 63g fat (35g saturated fat), 178mg cholesterol, 1291mg sodium, 54g carbohydrate (5g sugars, 4g fiber), 25g protein.

You all loved our million-dollar soup during the winter (one of our best recipes of 2025!), so here’s our lightened-up-but-still-indulgent spring version. The base flavor of the sauce includes caramelized onions, fennel, garlic and celery, then heavy cream, cheddar cheese and fresh spinach are introduced. Everything is tossed with pillowy, plump gnocchi and succulent bacon.

Biscuits de Fromage

Total Time:35 min
Servings:about 1-1/2 dozen
Test Kitchen Approved
From the Recipe Creator: I drew inspiration from a tartine I made over the summer that I loved, with a nice mix of sweet and savory: cheese, figs, pistachios, a drizzle of honey, and a sprinkling of fresh thyme. I thought, 'Why not put those flavors into a cookie?' I added the brown butter to add a little more complexity—and also because it got me a win the year before! —Elizabeth Tittle, Garfield Heights, Ohio
Nutrition Facts: 1 cookie: 111 calories, 5g fat (3g saturated fat), 30mg cholesterol, 61mg sodium, 15g carbohydrate (9g sugars, 1g fiber), 2g protein.

Ever tried pecorino in a cookie? This genius recipe has all the components of a cheeseboard rolled into a slice-and-bake cookie for a sweet-and-salty treat. Sandwiching the cookies with a little bit of honey adds a final touch of sweetness.

Cottage Cheese Bagels

From the Recipe Creator: You'll only need three ingredients to make these fluffy cottage cheese bagels. You can dress them up with a variety of toppings, including shredded cheese, seasonings and seeds. —Molly Allen, Hood River, Oregon
Nutrition Facts: 1 bagel: 225 calories, 6g fat (3g saturated fat), 52mg cholesterol, 624mg sodium, 29g carbohydrate (3g sugars, 1g fiber), 13g protein.

We’ve all been super obsessed with cottage cheese lately. It’s tasty, high in protein and adds lovely moisture to baked goods, like these fluffy cottage cheese bagels with caramelized Asiago on top. Did I mention the entire recipe has only four ingredients?

13/19

Kimchi Pancakes (Kimchijeon)

Total Time:25 min
Servings:4
Test Kitchen Approved
From the Recipe Creator: These crispy, savory pancakes make a quick and delicious side dish or appetizer using leftover kimchi. Traditionally, this recipe yields one large pancake that can be cut into triangles, but I grew up making latkes, so I prefer to drop the batter a little at a time. These smaller pancakes are easier to flip, and the edges get crispier. —Lindsay Mattison, Beaverton, Oregon
Nutrition Facts: 1 pancake: 127 calories, 7g fat (1g saturated fat), 0 cholesterol, 157mg sodium, 15g carbohydrate (1g sugars, 1g fiber), 1g protein.

These classic Korean pancakes are one of our favorite recipes with kimchi. Kimchijeon (also known as kimchi pancakes) combine kimchi with the usual pancake ingredients (flour, sugar and baking powder) plus cornstarch and a few spices to punch up the savoriness. They’re umami-rich and wonderfully crispy on the outside.

14/19

Creamy Peanut Butter Pudding

Total Time:15 min
Servings:2-1/2 cups
Test Kitchen Approved
From the Recipe Creator: For a creamy, comforting dessert, this smooth peanut butter pudding can't be beat. —Edna Hoffman, Hebron, Indiana
Nutrition Facts: 1/2 cup: 293 calories, 18g fat (6g saturated fat), 19mg cholesterol, 271mg sodium, 26g carbohydrate (21g sugars, 1g fiber), 9g protein.

I love these easy, homemade, individual creamy peanut butter puddings as a light treat after a heavy Easter dinner. Top them with homemade whipped cream, chocolate curls or egg-shaped chocolate candies to fit the holiday theme.

15/19

Potato Stroganoff

Total Time:55 min
Servings:4
Test Kitchen Approved
From the Recipe Creator: We mashed up a classic stroganoff recipe by serving the nostalgic, creamy sauce over potatoes instead of the traditional egg noodles. The result is just as comforting as the original dish! —Margaret Knoebel, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Nutrition Facts: 1 serving: 608 calories, 33g fat (19g saturated fat), 131mg cholesterol, 1131mg sodium, 56g carbohydrate (6g sugars, 6g fiber), 25g protein.

Beef Stroganoff is typically served over buttered egg noodles, but this recipe skips the pasta and adds another starch (potatoes) right into the sauce. Make this meat-and-potato dish for St. Patrick’s Day, or serve it for a weeknight dinner with a crispy green salad to lighten the meal.

16/19

Creme Brulee Doughnuts

Total Time:45 min
Servings:16
Test Kitchen Approved
From the Recipe Creator: These creme brulee doughnuts have a crackly shell, just like the surface of creme brulee. The doughnut version is admittedly a little bit messier to eat—but they're well worth the sugary mess! —Margaret Knoebel, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Nutrition Facts: 1 doughnut: 386 calories, 11g fat (4g saturated fat), 97mg cholesterol, 123mg sodium, 66g carbohydrate (43g sugars, 1g fiber), 6g protein.

Creme brulee doughnuts went viral recently for their shiny sugar coating that shatters with a satisfying crack and reveals a silky pastry cream filling. You’ll find every aspect of classic creme brulee in these yeasted doughnuts, from the vanilla custard filling to the crunchy sugar topping (no torch needed!). Every part is made from scratch, so save this for your next weekend baking project.

Korean Tacos

Total Time:20 min
Servings:4
Test Kitchen Approved
From the Recipe Creator: The meat in these Korean beef tacos gets all its flavor from an eight-hour marinade. Although kimchi, Sriracha mayonnaise, red onion and sesame seeds are optional toppings, I recommend adding them so your tacos have as much Asian flavor as possible. —Margaret Knoebel, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Nutrition Facts: 2 tacos: 550 calories, 29g fat (7g saturated fat), 66mg cholesterol, 1079mg sodium, 37g carbohydrate (4g sugars, 3g fiber), 31g protein.

By the time March hits, I think most of us are ready to trade in our heavy, rich and indulgent winter dinners for lighter, veggie-forward recipes. These Korean tacos are totally up my alley when I’m looking for a healthier weekday dinner. Marinated steak is quickly seared, then piled high with shredded cabbage, cilantro, kimchi and Sriracha mayo.

All the best aspects of fish tacos are found in this bowl. Tender, well-spiced tilapia sits on a bed of white rice with aromatic black beans, and toppings of cabbage, pico de gallo and an avocado crema tie everything together.
