Get No Bake Biegel Éclair Cake Recipe from Food Network

Learn little-known secrets about this co-host of The Kitchen.

I love a casserole, and this one was a Kitchen first! I upgraded the classic recipe with a homemade béchamel, and an easier method for cleanup (who doesn't love a one-pan plan?). Even tuna noodle casserole skeptics will help themselves to seconds!

I was the bake sale chair at my daughter's nursery school and I made these brown butter crispy rice treats. They were a total hit! We all know the classic version of these treats, but the simple act of browning the butter first gives a new depth of flavor, and the addition of crushed butter crackers adds a salty element that plays off the sweetness of the marshmallows. For the sale, I decorated with a sprinkle of edible gold glitter, but they're certainly gilded enough on their own!

Get Cincinnati-Style Chili Recipe from Food Network

I love dishes that can be made in advance for a dinner party. This chicken is totally simple. You marinate it in the same dish you cook it in, then pop it in the oven about 45 minutes before you want to eat. It’s so easy and flavorful—a real crowd pleaser!

Tuna melts can be polarizing; you either love them or hate them. I fall into the “love them” category. I think you’re also either an open-face or grilled cheese-style tuna melt fan, and for me it’s open-faced all the way!

My great aunt Pat shared this recipe with me. She said it was quite popular amongst the “Woman’s Club” crowd back in the 1970’s and even though it looks like an unusual recipe (you don’t have to separate wet and dry ingredients), it totally works. It really is so easy and produces a great cake.
