Feel-Good Recipes You Need in Your Life

Sometimes in life, you just need a good, home-cooked meal. Mashed potatoes, chocolate cake, Grandma's casserole...all of those feel-good dishes. Here are ten homey recipes for breakfast, snacks, or dinner that will make your mouth water.


Breakfasts

These coffee cake donuts will be one of the best things you've tasted in a long time! Cinnamon streusel, vanilla glaze, and sweet cake donut...best of all, they're baked, not fried, and cause minimal mess.


These scones are the perfect thing for Saturday brunch. With chai flavor, melty chocolate chips, and sweet glaze, I can guarantee they're a big crowd pleaser.

Snacks

These peanut butter pretzel energy bites taste like dessert but are packed with protein. Pop one or two for both peanut butter flavor and a burst of energy.


If you're a tea lover, this is the snack for you. These Earl Grey granola bars taste deliciously light with white chocolate chips and tea flavor. Make-ahead to grab for breakfasts or snacks throughout the week.


Breads

My family gives these salted honey butter Parker House rolls a big stamp of approval. Honey butter is baked into them and brushed on top, making the rolls soft and addictive. Who could say no to old fashioned dinner rolls?


If you really want to have happy dinner eaters, make a loaf of flaky honey brioche bread. This swirled loaf is light, sweet, and delicious. Pair it with a soup for a true feel-good meal.


Main Dishes

Who said salads are boring? This Paleo Pesto Chicken Salad is scrumptious and wins over picky salad eaters. Loaded with soft boiled eggs, vegetables, and shredded chicken, this salad is big on protein and big on goodness.


We all know soup season is the bomb dot com. This cozy wild rice soup is hearty and delicious, with mushrooms, carrots, and more.


Desserts

Who doesn't love old fashioned fudge? This almond-joy fudge is easy to whip up and tastes exactly like your favorite candy bar.


Impress your friends and family with a delicious white chocolate cake roll...they don't need to know how easy it is! This mousse cake roll is light and fluffy. Best of all, it only requires seven ingredients and looks sophisticated with minimal work.
