Pumpkin Magic Cake

We already love plain cake, but this delicious recipe takes the classic dessert to the next level. It features three layers: sponge, custard, and fudge for a mix of textures and flavors we can't get enough of. If you're a pumpkin lover, leave the recipe as-is, but feel free to leave out until pumpkin spice season. (via Brit + Co)

Twice-Baked Potato Chip Soufflé

We didn't think potato chips could get any better, but then we figured out that they make a pretty awesome addition to everything from oysters to ice cream (yes really!) to soufflés. Using cheddar chips adds some extra cheesy goodness in addition to the bacon, potatoes, and cheese. (via Brit + Co)

Gluten-Free Cloud Bread

Cloud bread is fluffy, tasty, and the fact that it's gluten-free is just the cherry on top. Top with your favorite jam, or with the classic peanut butter + banana + chocolate chip breakfast combo. Not only are they easy but they'll also take you under 30 minutes to make! (via Brit + Co)

Eggnog Colada

This recipe combines a classic summer cocktail with a winter staple, and turns them into something that you'll want to drink all year long. Turns out, pineapple and coconut taste great with eggnog. (via Brit + Co)

Robin's Egg Macarons

Egg whites will help you make seriously airy macarons. A little bit of blue food coloring (as well as flicking some black food coloring once they're on the pan) gives these treats that recognizable robin's egg look. Just make sure you save enough of the chocolate buttercream filling to lick the spoon! (via Barley & Sage)

Egg White Frittata with Spinach and Peppers

We love that this gluten-free recipe is full of peppers, spinach, and cheese, which means that it's both tasty *and* healthy. Plus it'll take you less than 30 minutes, which makes it a great option for anyone who doesn't have a ton of time in the morning. (via A Spicy Perspective)

We love snacking on nuts when we're hungry, whether it's during our workday or any time during the weekend, but sometimes we want more than just plain salt. Set these sweet, spiced nuts out for your next shindig, or package them up as a thoughtful gift. (via Daisy's World)
