Peanut Butter Oatmeal Biggies [6]

Caramel-Banana Muffins [14]
Reimagine an all-time quick bread favorite as a moist single serving, and it's an instant classic. Caramel sauce adds a luscious accent to cinnamon and pecans. Originally published: February 2010.
German Chocolate Pecan Rolls [18]
Choices, choices. This recipe makes a mouthwatering regular cinnamon roll -- or an equally compelling German Chocolate Pecan Roll. The secret ingredients for the pecan roll variation: Chocolate cake mix (it adds an extra-delicate texture) and coconut. Originally published: February 2010.

Chicago-Style Deep-Dish Pizza [34]

Mediterranean Eight-Layer Dip [38]
We've seen a lot of dips through the years, but we've never forgotten this one -- juicy veggies, tangy olive tapenade and feta piled on a thick layer of hummus. We like to make it ahead and serve it with warm toasted pita wedges. Originally published: December 2005.
