I'd include the recipes in my posts in case my friends were interested in trying them out. I also wanted to keep track of my favorites so I wouldn't have to go far to find them again.

Quiche is my favourite way to use leftover ham from Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. I cut the ham in chunks and freeze it.
You can make a pie crust or use a frozen one like I do. If your crust is frozen, be sure to thaw it first. Cooking it from frozen will make your quiche soggy.
Some people use evaporated milk in their quiche but I don’t like the taste of that. Milk works just fine. Use what you have.
You can use Swiss cheese in this recipe to change it up a bit.

Here’s a blondie recipe that I have made many times!
Mine are never as gooey as Gemma’s and that’s probably because I over-bake them. I should keep a better eye on them next time. I like to brown the butter first but it’s not necessary. Enjoy!

My cousin makes this crock pot brown sugar pineapple ham recipe for most holidays and it's delicious! She got this recipe from My Incredible Recipes.
Get yourself a good quality, spiral cut ham and throw away the flavour packet that comes with it. Use this recipe instead, you'll love it!

1/2 cup honey
1 20oz can of pineapple, do not drain (we use rings)
Directions
Spread 2 cups of the brown sugar over the bottom of a large crock pot.
Place the ham on top.

I have been using this cream cheese frosting recipe on my bundt cakes and sheet cakes regularly. I especially love it on carrot cake and banana bread / cake or cupcakes. You could also use it to frost cinnamon rolls!
This recipe is adapted from Baked by an Introvert. I cut the recipe in half and left out the orange zest. This is enough for a good layer of frosting on one bundt cake.

This Italian lemon pound cake is a recipe that I'd had my eye on for a long time. I finally made it back in April!
I skipped adding frosting but if you visit the original recipe it'll tell you how to make it.
The glaze needed a lot more lemon juice than the recipe called for. I used 5 tablespoons of lemon juice and it was still very thick. The cake itself isn’t very lemony so you really do need either the glaze or the frosting to bring the lemon flavour to this recipe. I'm not complaining though, it was still really delicious!

My kids have always loved meatballs.
I recently made a batch of burgers and had the brilliant idea to turn some of the burger mixture into meatballs for easy week-day lunches.
Just heat them up from frozen in your favourite sauce or gravy and serve over pasta or rice. It doesn't get any easier.
The burger recipe can be found here >> click me. Simply take this recipe and roll it into walnut size balls.

During quarantine, my 13 year old kept in touch with her friends by having baking conference calls. It was 3 of them with us moms “helping” out. I’m so glad I was allowed to join because I really don’t want to know what brownies with 11 cups of flour and egg shells taste like.
Here's a delicious brownie recipe given to us by one of the girls. This recipe is dangerous. Once you have one slice, you won't be able to stop until they're all gone.

This cake is really yummy! It was like one giant doughnut. I bet if you add chopped apples it would resemble an apple fritter.
I didn’t mix the cinnamon swirl into the cake well enough and ended up with delicious gooey cinnamon pockets. I may or may not have made this a few times 2 or 3 times in one week.

Banana consumption at my house is unpredictable. One week, I can't replenish them fast enough, and other weeks nobody eats them at all. I can't freeze them all or I'd have a freezer full of bananas. So here's yet another way to use up those brown bananas sitting on your counter.
These cookies actually remind me of muffin tops. You can add chocolate chips or other things in place of the nuts if your heart desires.

If you're looking for something super fast to make for dessert, try this recipe! The texture of these is not as fluffy as if you were to just follow the recipe on the box. These are a little more dense and doughnutty.
I divided the batter in half and made 2 flavours, but you could just do one or the other.
