These really are the Best Ever Homemade Flour Tortillas, no one can believe how easy and delicious they are! They’re perfect for enchiladas, soft tacos, burritos, quesadillas, wraps… Check out the over 400 5-star reviews! So many people have loved this recipe during this stay-at-home time and have reported that they'll "never again purchase tortillas at the store".

Years ago, I had a couple of different Mexican cooks show me how to make tortillas. They had made them their entire lives and made it look so easy! MY attempts failed because they merely said, “A little of this and a little of that” without measurements and I wasn’t told to let the dough sit for at least 15 minutes, so they won’t spring back when rolling. When Mission tortillas at Wal-Mart were out of stock, I decided it was time to LEARN once and for all! Thank you for the perfect recipe and tips! My 4, 5, & 9 year-olds and husband all loved them!

 

These tall, flaky, Ridiculously Easy Buttermilk Biscuits take less than 10 minutes to throw together. They’re also ridiculously delicious! I never dreamed when I posted this simple recipe that it would be life-changing for so many readers. I've gotten tons of comments, like the one below, that compare these biscuits to their "mama's" or "grandmother's". To me, that's the ultimate comment!

I made these biscuits today, and I was shocked by how good they are! Absolutely perfect, and so simple to make. I’ve tried replicating the biscuits my grandmother use to make but never could get them quite right, these are on par with those delicious biscuits that I haven’t had in years. This will be my go-to biscuit recipe from now on. Thanks!!

Like the name says, this stuff is seriously the Best Ever Hot Fudge Sauce. What it doesn’t say is that it’s so easy you’ll hardly believe it!

 

This One-Bowl No-Mixer Homemade Naan is soft, puffy and impossibly delicious! It rivals the naan at your favorite Indian restaurant and you can make it yourself at home with minimal effort!

Finally!! I found the perfect and East Naan recipe!! I don’t have to buy the frozen ones from Trader Joe’s anymore!! I think it is even better than my favorite Indian joint down the street!! Thanks so much for posting!! Happy in Seattle!!
