Kiss summer goodbye with my Mandarin Orange and Spinach Pasta Salad. First, this recipe combines tender pasta with spinach, sweet mandarin oranges, craisins, and a flavorful teriyaki dressing that ties everything together. Additionally, light yet satisfying, this easy pasta salad recipe is ideal for summer barbecues, potlucks, or even as a quick weeknight dinner. It’s a unique twist on traditional pasta salads and adds a burst of flavor to any table.

My Buffalo Chicken French Bread Pizza is everything you love about buffalo wings and pizza night, combined into one quick and easy meal. It’s loaded with toasted French bread with juicy grilled chicken, zesty buffalo sauce, and a drizzle of creamy ranch dressing. A touch of garlic brings out the savory depth combined with the golden, bubbling layer of cheese in every slice. Pair it with a fresh salad, or celery sticks with blue cheese to satisfy those wing-night cravings, minus the mess!

Wrap up the week with a sweet treat that’s sure to be a family favorite: My Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie. This baked dessert comes together in under an hour and fills your kitchen with the irresistible smell of fresh-baked cookies. This easy cookie pie recipe can be served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce! Make it ahead, reheat leftovers, or even enjoy it chilled, it’s delicious any way you slice it!
