Baked Chicken Empanadas
These baked chicken empanadas are quick and easy to make. And for even easier prep, I used diced rotisserie chicken and jarred salsa for this recipe.
Lemon Raspberry Crumb Bars
These not-too-sweet lemon raspberry crumb bars, with an in-your-face lemon flavor, is a quick dessert recipe to make anytime. The bars have a subtle crumb topping, which adds a nice bit of texture, but feel free to skip that part and use the whole mixture for the bottom crust instead. They taste great at room temperature, but are even better cold! Store in the refrigerator.
Tiramisu Cake
This tiramisu cake tastes just like the Italian dessert but in cake form. It's easy to make ahead and wonderful for a get-together or special occasion. Using a boxed cake mix as a base is a real time-saver!
