When we find a good cookbook, we just can’t contain our excitement. We find ourselves looking for any and every reason to host a garden brunch or dinner party or anything to show off our mad skills. And that exact thing happened when we discovered Half Baked Harvest after some mindless Pinterest scrolling. So today we’re sharing with you some of our favorite HBH recipes! Let’s get started.
Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato Chicken Pasta
We are suckers for any dish that includes sun-dried tomatoes, and we just know we can survive on pasta alone, so we knew we would gobble up every last bite of this creamy, herby, rich pasta. This is a one-pot meal making it perfect for weeknights, and equally simple yet impressive if you’re cooking for a crowd. Plus, time-wise, this dish clocks in at about 40 minutes, and we consider that a win. Get the full recipe here!
Crispy Parmesan and Pesto Egg in a Bagel
Frankly, slap anything on a bagel and we’ll eat it, but crispy parmesan? Pesto? Egg? Yes, please. These bagel sandwiches are great to serve up for breakfast or brunch, or if you’re more of a breakfast on the go kinda person, you can, well, grab it and head to the office or to class and eat it once you’re there. (Just don’t forget a few extra napkins!) Get the full recipe here!
Southern Style Baked Mac and Cheese
We are easy to please when it comes to mac and cheese (see what we did there?) but this recipe is one of the best we’ve ever had. This mac and cheese is an easy and comforting side dish to whip up for any meal, the end result is a rich, creamy pasta on the bottom, a crunchy cheesy top, and just a little bit of kick in every bite. The creators of this incredible dish also recommend topping the end result with a little basil, and we would have to agree that that takes this mac and cheese to another level.

Baked Cheese Rangoons with Sweet Ginger Chili Sauce
We aren’t even going to try to lie to you, these are perfect to ship up for those nights where all you want to do is sit on the couch, pop open a bottle of wine, and binge your shoes for hours on end. These cheese rangoons are light, crispy, and packed with flavor, and they’re a somewhat healthier alternative to what you would grab from a takeout place. (Hey, we said somewhat!)
