You can also top the one-pot cowboy beans with any shredded cheese you might have lying around.

Make your own honey yogurt using a multi cooker and just three simple ingredients. While making your own yogurt might sound a little intimidating, have no fear! With the right multi cooker, it’s a hands-off process that involves about three steps: pouring milk into a cooking pot, pressing some buttons, and mixing a little bit of yogurt with live cultures into the cooking pot. Honey yogurt is a wonderful light breakfast on its own, or you can pair with toast or eggs. We love mixing in seasonal fruit like strawberries in July or raisins in November; you can even sprinkle a little brown sugar on top for a sweet treat!

Here’s the trick: the Mexican flag is red, white, and green, just like this recipe made of equal parts tomato, onion, and cilantro (with a little jalapeño for heat)! We absolutely love the freshness of the tomatoes mixed with the crisp, clean taste of cilantro. The trick to delicious Pico De Gallo? You want equal parts of all the main ingredients (tomatoes, onion, and cilantro) so they can compliment each other and make the dish truly delicious. All the ingredients in this recipe can be chopped by hand, but we prefer using a food processor, especially for the onions, cilantro, and jalapeño. We also recommend using all fresh ingredients. Pico De Gallo makes any party taste like summer all year!

Lemon Rosemary Mashed Potatoes

Herbs and citrus combine in a delicious way in lemon rosemary mashed potatoes. We love that this recipe only requires three basic ingredients and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Try using a spud masher to mash the potatoes. Since potatoes come in all different sizes, we made this recipe by the cup, rather than by the number of potatoes. That way the recipe will be easy to adjust, whether you’re looking for 2 or 20, or using leftover mashed potatoes.

Sweet Potato and Apple Bake

A sweet potato and apple bake is a wonderful side to a roast or pork. Fresh apples and sweet potatoes come into season in the fall, which makes autumn the perfect time to try out this recipe. Maple syrup adds a touch of dessert-like sweetness, while lemon zest balances it out with a bit of tang. The sweet potato and apple bake can be made on the grill or on the stovetop; we like to make it outside during the September and move it to the stove once the October chill rolls in!

Slushy Punch

This frozen punch recipe combines two of our favorite summer treats: citrus fruits and Jell-O.

Mountain Dew Apple Dumplings

This Mountain Dew apple dumplings recipe may sound a little strange, but trust us: this is one of the most decadent, nearly sinfully good recipes that we have ever come across. Flaky crescent rolls and a huge helping of butter make this recipe dangerously delicious. We recommend using Granny Smith apples; a less tart apple can make the apple dumplings too sweet, while Granny Smiths provide just the right amount of tang.
