Game-Day Eats: 100 Recipes for Homegating Like a Pro

Posted on by simplegoodfood

Create epic feasts for game days at home with this full-color cookbook from former NFL star and celebrity chef Eddie Jackson that includes 100 fresh and inventive recipes for tailgating at home.

There’s nothing like day full of football and great food. While many fans tailgate on game days—gathering in the stadium parking lot to grill and eat with family and friends—the real fun of the weekend for former pro-football star and celebrity chef Eddie Jackson is “homegating”: throwing a party in your own living room or den. With homegating, the party doesn’t have to stop once the game starts.

Game-Day Eats combines Eddie’s two greatest passions—cooking and football—in one hearty cook’s playbook. Eddie gives you  100 recipes centered around eating, drinking, and spending time with friends while enjoying the game in your own space. The key to a great homegate is food that can be cooked while spending time with your guests. Because you’re cooking in your own kitchen, you can go way beyond brats, chili, and cheeseburgers. With Game-Day Eats you can enjoy mouthwatering Roasted Herb Wings and Chipotle Rib Nachos as well as fun surprises like Jalapeño Honey Chicken Biscuit Sliders and Citrus Beer Floats.

Eddie shows how anyone at any culinary skill level can create festive feasts any day of the week. Each inventive and hearty recipe includes steps that can be done ahead of time or prepped very quickly so that you never have to miss a play—whether you’re gathering for a traditional Sunday afternoon or for a weeknight game. With influences from Eddie’s international culinary escapades and pro days traveling the country, and illustrated with 150 mouthwatering full-color photos, the food in Game-Day Eats is sure to win over your favorite crowd.

43 Best Fall Baking Recipes

Posted on by simplegoodfood

Grab a comfy blanket, a good book and one of these soul-satisfying fall baking recipes. Our best sweet and savory autumn treats celebrate the season with pumpkin, apples, maple and warming spices.

Everything slows down come fall, and it’s easy to lean into the coziness of the season. We dig out our sweaters, finally get to use the fireplace again and whip up our best fall recipes to warm up. The Taste of Home Test Kitchen has spent decades perfecting the latter, making all sorts of fall soups, slow-cooked roasts and hearty vegetable sides, but nothing feels as comforting as our best fall baking recipes.

Our top recipes hit the spot whether we’re in the mood for savory, autumnal-inspired breads or crave something sweet and ultra-cozy. That often means something with pumpkin pie spice, but we love to switch it up with recipes packed with heady fall spices, apples from the orchard and rich sweeteners like maple syrup or brown sugar. And if you’re not into the pumpkin and apple scene, you’ll enjoy our fall baking recipes with ingredients like caramel, nuts, brown butter, dark chocolate and sweet potatoes.

We made sure the list included plenty of variety, and I think we’ve covered all the bases: fall breads, morning buns, rolls, brownies, muffins, cupcakes, tiramisu, cookies, blondies, bars and cakes of all kinds. There really is something for everyone, including beginner-friendly recipes and quick bakes that don’t require an all-day time commitment. The best part? If more than one recipe speaks to you, just save it for later. In the meantime, start stocking up on the best canned pumpkin; you’ll need it.

45 Easy-to-Make Dessert Recipes With 5 Ingredients (Or Less!)

Posted on by simplegoodfood

Need a sweet treat, but the pantry is running low on supplies? These easy-to-make dessert recipes need five ingredients or fewer, so you can still find something to make.

We’re living through a major everything-from-scratch Renaissance, and while there’s some merit to that, it’s OK if you can’t always muster up the energy to make the next viral snacking cake or over-the-top 12-ingredient cookie. Easy-to-make dessert recipes are what you need on those busy or tiring days, and they’re still just as tasty as more complicated ones.

To prove it, we compiled our favorite quick dessert recipes. They all use five ingredients or less—not counting everyday pantry staples like water, salt or cooking oil—so they’re very straightforward. There are recipes using cake mix with minimal measuring (we really mean easy), as well as no-bake desserts, so even the baking averse can enjoy a homemade dessert.

Expect favorites like peanut buttery Buckeyes, crisp palmiers, all kinds of fudge recipes and tried-and-true, simple dump cake recipes. There are a few unexpected ones, too, like Crock Pot lava cake, a genius three-ingredient banana bread, no-bake cheesecakes and even root beer float-inspired desserts. I highly recommend pairing any of these with the best vanilla ice cream—from the store, of course!
