This dump cake recipe takes advantage of not one, but three store-bought items for an easy homemade dessert. Canned cinnamon rolls are topped with ready-made cream cheese frosting and a box of cinnamon swirl coffee cake mix tops it off all in one 9- by 13-inch pan. Make sure to cover every bit of the cake mix is covered with butter—this provides the moisture it needs to cook properly.
Ingredients

- 2 cans deluxe cinnamon rolls , 17.5 ounce
- 1 container canned cream cheese frosting , 16 ounce
- 0.5 cups chopped toasted pecans
- 1 package cinnamon swirl coffee cake mix , 21.5 ounce

Bake until puffed, golden, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool 10 minutes. Drizzle with the reserved icing from the cinnamon roll cans, if desired, and serve warm.

Sous Vide Whole Turkey
I looked everywhere online to find a way to sous vide a whole turkey. Nothing! The recipes either recommended taking the turkey apart (just not compatible with a traditional Thanksgiving), or getting a very small 10-pound turkey. So this is the way I did it, and it turned out awesome.
