This mac and cheese is for those times when you just can’t be bothered to pull out a pan. You need some cheesy goodness, and you need it now. One bowl. All yours. No leftovers.
Elaborate snacks are great once in a while, but it can be hard to invest a lot of ingredients and cooking into something that should be quick and easy. This isn’t dinner, after all. If you’re feeling lazy but want something more than just an apple or raw vegetables, consider making one of these super easy snacks that have just four ingredients (or in some cases, even fewer!).
From peanut butter and chocolate energy bars, to strawberry-yogurt popsicles, these simple snack recipes will always be there when you need something in between meals.

“Shying away from the typical tomato or wine based steamed mussel recipe? This one features tequila and lime and it as easy as 1..2..3 to prepare! Serve right away with some crusty Italian bread to soak up the juice.”
What I love about summer is the fruit. There are peaches and plums for pies, nectarines for dribbling down your chin, apricots for tarts, cherries for snacks, and all sorts of berries for breakfast — plus other melons, like cantaloupe and honeydew, to wrap ham around. But what other fruit offers a crunchy snack, a juice for drinking (with or without a boozy booster), seeds for spitting contests, and a big round shape for greasing and throwing around the pool, lake, or ocean (have you played greased pig yet this summer)?
It’s the watermelon. When it’s good, it’s really good, and needs little else to completely satisfy a craving for a cool, sweet treat.
Every day is someone’s birthday, so celebrate accordingly with this festive sweet treat. It’s easily concocted on a whim from ingredients found in most convenience stores, but also feel free to mix it up by using other kinds of chocolate candy bars or even flavored pre-packaged popcorn. The possibilities are endless! Just make sure you have some sprinkles on hand in order to up the fun factor.
The beginning of my sophomore year in college, I had a moment that was both mundane and packed with meaning. It was around 6 or 6:30 p.m. on a Tuesday; I’d gone to the grocery store to get food for the next few days. Making my way to the produce section, I was hit hard by the sweet, buttery smells floating from the bakery’s gleaming glass cases. I was routinely assaulted by their tempting scents, and almost as routinely, I’d yield. I’d grab a couple cookies or a bear claw for an afternoon snack or to have after dinner.
But that day was different. I wanted a piece of cake, and I wanted it right then. For my evening meal. Not following it. As it.

“This salsa is a staple at our house. There’s nothing better to serve as a dip for tortilla chips or as a condiment for your favorite Mexican food. Include jalapeno peppers for added heat.”
This Funfetti-inspired mug cake is all about you celebrating you. This version is somewhat healthier than a regular cake because it’s made with Greek yogurt and almond milk and calls for less sugar. It’s also smaller than a full-sized cake, so if you mindlessly eat the whole thing in front of the TV, the damage is minimal. (Although, a hefty dollop of whipped cream on top never hurt anyone.)
The best part? It takes less than five minutes to whip up.
