Pecan-Sticky-Buns_HERO

What’s better than the smell of warm cinnamon sticky buns in the morning? How about those buns being covered in rich, gooey caramel sauce and topped with pecans? Thanks to Dennis Prescott’s easy, make-ahead recipe, this dream can become a reality. Do note that the buns should be assembled at least 8 hours ahead of baking, so plan accordingly.

What's better than mac and cheese? A homemade 4 cheese mac and cheese by Diva Q. But skip the elbow macaroni and use cavatappi, a thick curly tube that grabs hold of all that cheese.

Fontina-Dip_Hero

Here’s the perfect dip for entertaining. Why? Aside from its cheesy, roasted garlic goodness, the whole thing can be made ahead before cooking and refrigerated. Then, about a half hour before serving, all you need to do it stick it on the grill. Serve it with sliced apples, crostini, crackers, or crudité for dipping.

0716_Simple_Pineapple_Upside_Down_Cake_RE_HE_M

We’ve given Grandpa’s favorite pineapple upside down cake recipe a kick by baking the cake on a wood-fired grill to saturate it with flavorful hardwood smoke. We’d like to think he’d like it better this way.

Blueberry-Clafoutis_Hero

A clafoutis may not be the easiest dessert to pronounce (clah-foo-TEE), but this French cross between a custard and a cake is one of the easiest desserts to make. You basically mix some flour, milk, sugar, and eggs in a blender, pour it over some fruit, and bake. The classic uses fresh cherries, but Diva prefers a blueberry clafoutis flavored with lemon zest and vanilla. Feel free to use whatever tender fruit looks good—peaches, blackberries, apricots, or raspberries, or even a mix.
