This king of pops is based on the classic flavors of a banana split. Traditionally, the banana is split lengthwise, but I put the banana on the pop stick to make it a hidden surprise.

Mashed Potato Rolls by myra byanka

Accidentally deleted this recipe, so here it is again. It's my favorite, go-to general purpose recipe for dinner and sandwich rolls, because they last longer than a day, due to the potatoes in them.

Cajun Chicken Linguine Alfredo by Skinny Kitchen with Nancy Fox

A bit spicy, a bit creamy, this decadent pasta brings a classic Chicken Alfredo to a whole new level. It’s bursting with flavor and spice thanks to the Cajun seasonings.
