    I hope you'll enjoy some of the cream of the crop from Tara Teaspoon. They are perfect dishes to gather people around the table.

    Tara Teaspoon Favorite Recipes

    It was hard to narrow down my very favorite recipes. Here are the picks I can't live without.

    The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies In The World

    If you ask me what my favorite food is, I’ll usually say, “chocolate chip cookies, straight out of the oven.” So you'd better believe I have an amazing (and may I mention, award-winning) classic chocolate chip cookie recipe in my repertoire.

    Real Cashew Chicken

    Like your favorite takeout without leaving the house. I usually have all the ingredients on hand. It's one of my staple dinners and tastes so authentic. Serve with steamed white rice.

    Super Soft Cinnamon Rolls (Tangzhong Method)

    The best cinnamon rolls you’ll ever eat! The Asian milk bread method called tangzhong is easy to master and yields the softest, fluffiest dough ever. Your friends and family will devour them.

    Healthy Slow Cooker Chicken Curry

    Heathy because it's low-fat, and packed with veggies. It's loaded with flavor and one of my favorite recipes for a busy weeknight. Throw all the ingredients in the slow cooker and have dinner ready on time. Kids will love the sweet and savory flavors.

    The Ultimate Brownie Recipe

    Is there anything more perfect than a warm, fudgy brownie? Maybe a warm, fudgy brownie with The Best Frosting for Brownies slathered on top 🙂  This ultimate brownie recipe has the classic crinkle top, a dense, very chocolatey center, and is super simple to make.

    North Carolina Pulled Pork

    The most delectable, melt in your mouth pulled pork recipe you’ll ever try! You won’t want to cook pork any other way. Cook it with my favorite Mop Sauce and you’re in heaven.

    Shortcut Boston Baked Beans

    Boston Baked Beans are my absolute favorite side dish for a summer BBQ. They go with anything: burgers, dogs and brats, ribs, brisket, you name it. This shortcut recipe comes together in just a few minutes so there's no need to a long, slow cook.

    Favorite Apple Crisp

    Everyone needs a go-to apple crisp recipe for summer cookouts, or fall festivities! This one has the perfect balance between sweet apple filling and crispy oat topping.

    Ginger Thai Chicken Patties

    When you dip we dip! Great, flavorful finger food for an easy weeknight dinner. Ginger Thai Chicken Patties is my favorite meal to make what I need to use up the boneless skinless chicken breasts that I always have on hand.

    Mango Pie with Coconut Graham Cracker Crust

    This is one of my favorite show-stopping desserts. The coconut graham cracker crust is to die for, and that mango flavor is blow-your-mind good! I'd better tell you this pie has won contests! Bring it on!

    Homemade Soft and Sweet Cornbread

    Cornbread is a staple in my home and this recipe yields a soft, cake-like cornbread that is irresistible. The perfect accompaniment to almost any weeknight meal or leisurely weekend supper.

    Classic Iced Oatmeal Cookies

    Like the classic store-bought cookies you loved when you were a kid, but better. Perfectly spiced, sweet, and wonderfully crunchy with a crackly icing on top.

    Pesto and Red Pepper Italian Meatballs

    I have more than 10 meatball recipes on my blog.. You can say I’m a meatball fan! This one is my favorite because it’s so versatile and packed with flavor. These meatballs have a classic taste and they are a crowd pleaser.

    Cashew Cookies with Brown Butter Frosting

    I just had to include something with Brown Butter Frosting in my favorites list. And, these cookies are one of my childhood favorites. They are soft and chewy, and completely delicious. You'll never have another cookie like them.

    Fresh Green Pesto Pasta with Lemon Ricotta Cream

    The freshest green pesto pasta with a divinely creamy ricotta dolloped on top. One of my favorite recipes to make when the weather is gloomy and I’m craving a taste of Spring, or on a summer night for a delightful meal. This is a huge reader favorite.

    Dinner Rolls with Savory Seed Topping

    Everyone needs a classic dinner roll recipe in their repertoire. This one has a yummy seed topping that adds a beautiful flavor and a perfect crunch. Read the blog post to find out where the inspiration came from for these tasty rolls.
