All you need is a nonstick pan, some oil, and some tips and tricks to help you get that perfectly fried egg or a stack of pancakes on your plate for the best and most delicious breakfast you can make yourself.

Make a homemade beef tapa recipe (four ingredients!) that you love having for breakfast, a creamy pasta, or a fudgy brownie you have longed to but never thought you could make. Whatever the recipe is, bookmark it and then, make it your kitchen mission to make it this year.

Dessert doesn’t have to be baked. Ice cream, no-bake desserts, and even cooked and steamed desserts like leche flan and chocolate pudding can be dessert! So, if you’re looking to do something simple and delicious for dessert, aim for these.
