So you've always wanted to make risotto or homemade pasta but never got around to it ... we get it. Consider this your recipe checklist for conquering all those cooking projects.

 

  1. Homemade Pasta

    It's a recipe that's actually pretty simple for when you have some extra time. If you don't have a pasta maker, no problem. We'll tell you how to hand-cut the dough in the instructions.

  2. Risotto

    Risotto requires a bit of additional stirring to make sure the liquid is incorporated into the rice. The good news is that stirring is the hardest part!

  3. Pizza Crust

    Pizza night is even more fun when you make the pizza yourself. The same can be said for pizza in the morning.

  4. Beef Jerky

    There are lots of things you can make in a dehydrator, but homemade beef jerky alone makes it worth having one.

  5. Braised Ribs

    It may take a little longer than throwing them on the grill, but no one ever regrets the time spent slow braising baby back ribs.

  6. Empanadas

    The most time-consuming part of this recipe is filling the empanada dough and frying them in batches. Even still, consider making a double batch, as these freeze wonderfully.

  7. Pretzels

    These from-scratch doughy pretzels taste just like the ones at the ballpark. We'll even show you a step-by-step to get the twist just right.

  8. Cauliflower Crust

    We know there's a fabulous store-bought version of cauliflower pizza crust out there, but when you make it yourself, you get to control how much Parmesan you add.

  9. Apple Chips

    You don't need a dehydrator to make homemade apple chips. Just follow this simple recipe for a healthy snack you can feel proud of.

  10. Homemade Yogurt

    Get out your Instant Pot and learn how to make homemade yogurt from milk.

  11. Pizza Rolls

    Yes, you can make your own pizza rolls! All you need are a few ingredients and an ice cube tray.

  12. Granola

    Use any kind of nut and dried fruit along with oats to make a tasty homemade granola.

  13. Fresh Ravioli

    Set up your own pasta factory in the kitchen! Make your own pasta dough—directions included—then turn it into cheese-filled ravioli.

  14. Homemade Dog Treats

    Don't forget to add Fido to your cooking project list. Here's an easy-to-make homemade treat your pup will love.
