I’m on a mission to take over the internet with Coquito Recipes. So far, I’m doing a fantastic job of turning tons of regular-shmegular recipes into their best coquito versions, but I think I can do more. If you are a fan of the Puerto Rican cocktail, read on for my all-time favorite versions of…

Apple Pear Butter (Slow Cooker Recipe with Alternate Cooking Methods)
You won’t be surprised to find out that Apple Pear Butter is comprised mainly of apples and pears. What may shock you is that this fruit spread also contains a respectable amount of a secret ingredient. I could tell you now, but where’s the fun in that? I know, right? In addition to fresh fruit, this apple…
Apple Cinnamon Rolls with Apple Butter Glaze
Apple season means more to me than pumpkin spice season. There I said it. These Apple Cinnamon Rolls might even make you a convert. Not only is the bread dough filled with warm spices, but it also has a healthy dose of apple butter baked right in. Thinly sliced crisp apples get enveloped in a cinnamon-sugar filling…

Brioche Bread from Scratch
Every person on the planet should experience eating a loaf of Brioche Bread in France. Or, at the very least, a slice of brioche. Those of us from the U.S. who fancy ourselves breadmakers can never touch the level of finesse that the French has regarding this bread. It is my most humble opinion that brioche is…
Quiche Lorraine (Egg, Bacon, and Gruyere Tart)
Quiche Lorraine is one of my family’s favorite things to eat. I’m a fan because it’s simple to assemble and bake. Eggs, milk, cheese, and bacon baked in pie crust. What’s hard about that? My family loves it because it’s a versatile dish. They get away with eating it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. If…
Chorizo and Egg Breakfast Nachos
