The Best Recipe
Do you ever find that you simply want to hop online really quickly and find a recipe for the best chocolate chip cookie or the best brownie or the best lasagna? You know, instead of searching through a hundred posts of a hundred different chocolate chip cookies trying to guess which one is going to be “the one,” you want to be able to find a great recipe fast!
Well, I do that all the time. I head online and search food blog after food blog trying to find a simple best recipe for cupcake frosting or a homemade yellow cake or…well, you get the picture.
Here is where I’ll detail my “BEST” recipes. I probably have over 50 recipes for cookies on my site…but if you want to go straight to the best chocolate chip cookie recipe, I’ll detail it here for you. The best whole wheat bread? I’ll tell you. Brownies? Got it right here.
I’ll continually be adding to this resource as I try new recipes. But I want you to be able to have a one-stop guide to the best recipes so you don’t have to spend hours searching for something simple. Click on the category heading below to see the “best of” that lies therein!

Hi, Melanie… I’m a friend of a friend and I’ve been loitering around your site for quite a while now. I really enjoy cooking, but hate the trial and error of it all. Thanks for taking the guess work out of it and making it easy to find great recipes!
By the way, you are famous at my house. Everyone loves when I make something “from that cooking site.” And my poor little netbook has flour finger prints all over the arrow keys
I can not begin to express my excitement for having come across this FABULOUSLY DELICIOUS website!!!! I am always searching for recipes and definately have a kitchen addiction!! Your tried, tested and true recipes are amazing and your tips and insight are incredible. I have so many of your recipes saved and on my ‘to make’ list. I just made your Carrot Sheet Cake with Whipped Cream cheese frosting and French Bread rolls. WoW! Absolutely delicious! Can’t wait to try many, many more. Thank you!
I’m so glad you did this. Now I can find all of your BEST (and my “go-to) recipes much easier!
Hi Melanie! Any suggestions for a good cookbook? Which ones are your favorite? I am hinting for an Easter present and I want to HINT for a the right one

Trapped in my house after 7PM night after night, with my laptop the only gateway to adult interaction. Thank you for saving me from hours on Facebook. Now I can’t wait to get my 4 little ducklings to bed, so that I can plan out my cooking projects for the week. It’s a win for all of us. Thank you!
I just made “The Best Frosting” and it is wonderful!!! I’m going to let it sit in the fridge so I can pipe it on cupcakes. It’s definitely a keeper!! Thanks!
I just discovered this website and I love it!! I made the Breaded garlic chicken in lemon butter sauce….it was a hit with my kids and hubby! I plan to make many more recipes from this website. I will also be spreading the word!! Thanks!!
Can I just tell you how IN LOVE with your recipes I am? I love that you don’t usually use “crazy” ingredients that 1. I don’t keep in my house or 2. would have a heck of a time finding in my local grocery store!!!! 2nd thing I LOVE about your site: your instructions on freezing and thawing various items— I’ve decided to start cooking and freezing extras to help take the burden off me b/c my husband CANNOT cook to save his soul… and once we have kids, this is going to get MUCH harder.
Thanks so much!!! Keep up the great work!
Love your website. I tried the pumpkin chocolate chip bread and it was amazing!
I love Food
Mel – I can’t tell you how happy and thankful I am that I found your blog with your amazing recipes! Thank you so much! I have a question too — do you ever make ravioli?

thanks!!
My very 1st day on Pinterest i came across your recipe for Crispy Southwest Chicken Wraps. WOW!! Awesome!! Can’t wait to try more of your recipes!!
