Chicken Ranch Wraps – Flour tortillas are stuffed with grilled chicken, Monterrey jack cheese, ranch dressing, and chopped cilantro and then grilled to heat through and seal. Perfect for snacks, dinner, or parties!

Easy dinners never get old. And with a baby on the way, I’m gonna need a whole lot more of these to get me through those hectic days!

I’ve got a few easy recipes on my blog already, like these Easy Meatball Subs, Taco Spaghetti, and my favorite Cilantro Chicken Bites. But I’m surprised that I don’t have a single easy sandwich or wrap recipe yet.

So today, I have a super simple wrap recipe that can be eaten for dinner or snack or appetizer that me and my husband both loooove. And surprise – it has cilantro in it! Check out my Chicken Ranch Wraps!

When I say that these chicken ranch wraps are easy, I mean EASY! From start to finish, they’ll take you no more than 15 minutes to throw together. And they’re so versatile – you can use whatever chicken you want, whatever ranch dressing you want, and even add in more ingredients, if that’s what you’re feeling.

To make the wraps, I used medium flour tortillas – not the small taco-sized and not the huge burrito -sized. I think the ones I got are called fajita tortillas but all you need to know is that they’re about 6 inches wide.

Take the tortilla and top with precooked chicken, shredded Monterrey Jack cheese, a drizzle of ranch dressing, and a sprinkle of freshly chopped cilantro. I love Monterrey jack cheese for these because of the slight flavor in the cheese. Mozzarella works fine too, if you like that better – it’s just a little bland for my taste.

After you’ve added all the fillings, it’s time to roll them up! You roll them up just like you would a burrito. Make sure you wrap them nice and tight so they don’t unwrap before we seal them on the stove.

To seal them, I just placed them on a skillet over medium heat and cooked on both sides. It takes about 6 minutes to heat them through, but you don’t want the tortilla to burn before the center is hot so don’t raise the temperature of the skillet above medium!

Here are a few more tips you might want to note when making these wraps:

  1. I love the texture of freshly shredded cheese – it’s softer and melts better. So I bought an 8 ounce block of cheese and shredded it myself. Highly recommended!
  2. As mentioned above, make sure to wrap up the wraps tight so they don’t unseal as you try to eat them.
  3. For the chicken, I bought pre-cooked chicken but you can easily use left over rotisserie chicken or grill up some fresh chicken yourself. Hey, you can easily use fried chicken tenders, if you have those laying around.

And that’s all there is to it! I hope you enjoy this yummy, easy recipe. If you have any incredible easy recipes that are a MUST, please send them my way. I’m going to need a bunch of them in the next couple of months!

Do you remember those Danish butter cookies that c Do you remember those Danish butter cookies that came in the fancy blue tin? The ones your mom would buy every Christmas and you'd go absolutely CRAZY for? 

Well, guess what? You can make them YOURSELF! And they're shockingly simple!

I'm talking about those perfectly crispy-on-the-outside, melt-in-your-mouth-on-the-inside shortbread cookies that are basically edible butter. And honestly? 

I don't think they should be reserved just for the holidays. These cookies deserve to be eaten ALL YEAR LONG!

Here's what makes them so special:
-The Recipe: Only FIVE ingredients—butter, flour, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. That's it! If you can cream butter and sugar together, you can make these.
-The Texture: They're like shortbread cookies but slightly softer, so when you bite into them, they literally melt in your mouth. It's pure butter heaven.
-The Secret: Use European-style butter! It has a higher fat content which makes these cookies extra creamy and flavorful. It's worth the upgrade, I promise!

Important tips:
Be VERY careful measuring your flour—too much and the dough will be impossible to pipe
Use a LARGE star tip (not a small one!) or you won't be able to squeeze the dough out
These actually taste BETTER after they cool! The crispiness is what makes them so good, so resist eating them warm (I know it's hard!)

These are perfect for coffee breaks, gift-giving, parties, or honestly just because you deserve a good cookie. You can make them in under an hour from start to finish!

After making approximately ONE MILLION pumpkin tre After making approximately ONE MILLION pumpkin treats recently, I was desperate for something with all those cozy fall vibes but maybe... a little less pumpkin? 

So I set my sights on something that doesn't get nearly enough love in the dessert world: SWEET POTATOES! 

And here's my controversial opinion: Sweet potato beats pumpkin ANY DAY OF THE WEEK. There, I said it! 

These Sweet Potato Cupcakes are super moist, perfectly spiced, and topped with the creamiest cinnamon cream cheese frosting. 

They taste similar to pumpkin cupcakes (so if you're a die-hard pumpkin lover, you can absolutely swap in pumpkin puree!), but here's why sweet potato wins:
✨ More starch = MORE moisture and density in the cupcake
✨ The flavor is 100x better (fight me on this!)
✨ That perfect balance between sweet and earthy

But what I'm MOST proud of is how the frosting and cake work together. You know how sometimes you get a cupcake with frosting that's way too sweet so you just eat the cake? Or killer frosting but blah cake so you only eat the frosting? NOT THIS CUPCAKE. 

The spiced cake needs a little sweetness to balance it out, and the tart cream cheese frosting is PERFECT. They're soulmates! 

Important tips:
-Don't undercook them or they'll sink in the center (but more frosting fixes everything!)
-Fill the liners 3/4 full—not all the way—to get exactly 12 cupcakes
-Use a 2M Wilton tip for that fancy frosting swirl (or just spread with a knife!)

Y'all, I need to talk about these Kentucky Derby C Y'all, I need to talk about these Kentucky Derby Cookie Bars because they might just be the most decadent thing I've ever created!

So here's the deal: I love taking traditional recipes and giving them a major upgrade. 

Traditional Derby Pie is delicious, but I wanted to make something even MORE special. And these bars? They're Derby Pie on steroids!

Here's what makes them absolutely incredible:
The Cookie Crust: Instead of regular pie crust, we're using a thick chocolate chip cookie base. Game. Changer.
The Filling: Loaded with pecans, chocolate chips, and a hint of bourbon that adds this rich, complex flavor. The filling is more dense and cakey than traditional Derby Pie, which gives you the perfect chewy texture.
The Bourbon Caramel: This homemade bourbon caramel sauce is what takes these bars over the top. It's sweet, buttery, and has that gorgeous bourbon depth. And yes, the alcohol cooks out, so it's safe for everyone (even made these while I was pregnant!)!

Important tips:
Don't chop your pecans too finely—leave nice chunks for better texture
If the bars start browning too quickly, just cover them with foil while the center finishes baking
Don't over-thicken the caramel sauce on the stove—it will thicken as it cools!

These bars are perfect for Derby Day (obviously!), but honestly, they're amazing for any summer gathering, BBQ, or potluck.

Y'all, I just made the BEST hot chocolate of my li Y'all, I just made the BEST hot chocolate of my life and I need you to try it immediately!

Growing up, I only knew hot chocolate from those packets where you just add hot water. I had NO idea you could make it from scratch so easily! 

All it takes is hot milk, cocoa powder, chocolate chips, and the secret ingredient... PEANUT BUTTER!

I've always been obsessed with the peanut butter and chocolate combo (if you've been following me, you know this is true!), but for some reason, it never occurred to me to add it to hot chocolate until recently. And now I'm officially never going back to regular hot chocolate!

What makes this recipe so special? The peanut butter adds this incredible creaminess and depth of flavor without overpowering the chocolate. 

Plus, you don't need to add any extra sugar because the chocolate chips provide all the sweetness you need. 

Top it with marshmallows and maybe a drizzle of chocolate and peanut butter sauce, and you've got pure heaven in a mug.

Important tips:
-Be careful not to overheat the chocolate and peanut butter—too much heat will cause the chocolate to harden
-Add the milk SLOWLY to the chocolate mixture and whisk constantly. It makes blending so much easier!
-This recipe makes 4 cups, and leftovers keep for 5 days in the fridge!

This is the ultimate cozy drink for cold winter nights, holiday gatherings, or honestly any time you need a little comfort. It's ready in less than 10 minutes!

When I had a serious craving for pain au chocolat When I had a serious craving for pain au chocolat but didn't want to spend DAYS making croissant dough, I had a brilliant idea: What if I used brioche instead?

And let me tell you... this might be even BETTER than the original!

Brioche au Chocolat gives you all the buttery, flaky flavor of croissants but with the soft, pillowy texture of bread. Plus, that melted chocolate center? Pure heaven! 

The best part is that the entire process is done in a stand mixer, which makes it so much simpler than traditional croissants.

Here's why this recipe is perfect:
🌙 The dough is made overnight, so you can just wake up and bake in the morning
✨ No lamination or complicated folding techniques required
🍫 Each bun has a hidden chocolate surprise in the center
💯 Foolproof method that works every time
🔑 Three tips for success:

Add the butter one tablespoon at a time and let each piece fully incorporate before adding the next (it might look like it won't mix in, then suddenly it disappears!)

The overnight refrigeration is essential—it lets the dough rest AND makes it so much easier to work with.

Don't skip the egg wash! It's what gives these buns their gorgeous golden sheen

These are best served slightly warm (just 10 seconds in the microwave will do!), so the chocolate gets perfectly melty. Trust me, you'll want to make these on repeat!
