Bake until a toothpick or skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 20 minutes before slicing and serving. Once cooled completely, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and store in a cool, dry spot for up to 3 days. Love the recipe? Leave us stars and a comment below!

Beergarita
My go to drink for summer gatherings is this refreshing Beergarita, and let me tell you, it's a total crowd pleaser.

Lime juice is packed with vitamin C, which is great for your immune system, and the whole thing takes just five minutes to throw together. Best part?

This tropical quinoa bowl has become my go to weeknight dinner because it comes together in just forty minutes and tastes like a mini vacation on a plate. Quinoa is one of my favorite ingredients since it's a complete protein with all nine essential amino acids, making it so satisfying and perfect for keeping energy levels steady. The combination of papaya, red bell pepper, and fresh cilantro brings vibrant flavors and colors, while the rice wine vinegar and orange zest add just the right brightness. Best part is the ingredient list is simple and affordable, yet feels fancy enough to impress anyone at your table.
