VIRAL DUMPLING BAKE

This one-pan dumpling bake recipe has gone viral! These dumplings are nestled in a creamy, coconut-spiced sauce. They are then topped with herbs and chili crisp to make a dinner to die for. This recipe uses frozen dumplings and a few pantry and fridge staples, and is so easy to make! This is my new favorite way to prepare potstickers.

Happy first day of football 🏈 to those who celebrate!

This easy Buffalo Chicken Dip is delicious and perfect for the big game! This baked appetizer is the best way to feed a hungry crowd. This is a high-protein, lightened-up version of the classic dish with all the flavor still there! It is made with buffalo sauce, chicken, cottage cheese, shredded cheese, greek yogurt, ranch seasoning, and green onions. Serve it with a side of carrots, celery, or chips, and watch it disappear.

Since some of you are insisting it’s Fall now, I thought I’d share my favorite protein hot chocolate recipe!

Make any hot chocolate mix but make sure it’s super hot!! Then, whisk together 4 ounces of milk with half a scoop of @cleansimpleeats protein powder until smooth. Protein powder doesn’t like to be hot so whisk it in until it’s blended, then pour it in the hot cocoa as a “creamer” if you will!

It’ll cool down the drink and add protein!! Would work in coffee too if that’s your jam. Try it!

I’m using #cseprotein snickerdoodle but any flavor works! Code AlexDaynes always saves you a little money too! #cseproffee

Beyond excited to add another baby to our crew 🕊️ 🤍 thanks for sharing in our joy!!

Skip the deep fryer and still enjoy all that indulgence at home with these deconstructed fried ice cream bars that are just as delicious!!

Prep Time: 35 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Additional Time: 8 hours
Total Time: 8 hours 50 minutes

INGREDIENTS

3/4 cup butter
3 cups crushed cornflakes
2 teaspoons cinnamon
5 Tablespoons sugar

For the Ice Cream

1 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup evaporated milk
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
2 teaspoons vanilla

Just Before Serving

warm caramel sauce
whipping cream
maraschino cherries

METHOD

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the cornflakes and cinnamon and stir until golden brown, roughly five minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the sugar. Cool completely.
To a stand mixer, beat the heavy cream, evaporated milk, and salt until stiff peaks form. Gradually pour in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla until thickened again.
Add half the cornflake mixture to the bottom of a greased or lined 9×9 pan. Pour the ice cream filling over the crust. Sprinkle the remaining cornflakes over the ice cream. Cover and freeze overnight.
Cut the bars into desired servings and top each with warmed caramel sauce, whipping cream, and maraschino cherries.

One last time in the @studio5ksl kitchen today 💜

This really is the greatest show!! 8 year old Alex’s biggest dream was to cook on TV, and from that first invitation at 20 years old, this kitchen has changed my life. People I looked up to through the screen became more than friends, they became family!

@brookewalker took a chance on me and brought me in with open arms. Being on her team and working alongside her taught me so much. Life long lessons I will hold and cherish dearly. Brooke is my hero and being able to call her a dear friend means the world to me 🤍

We tallied up more than 100 segments I’ve had the opportunity to share on this stage. 100 times I’ve walk in with an idea and a recipe and brought it to life. I’m so grateful for each and every time I was able to connect and share!!

I’m in denial that it’s over but I’m smiling that it happened. I’m smiling that Studio 5 has become a home away from home the past 8 years. I’m forever grateful for its impact!!!

Swipe for a quick memory lane rundown of a few of my favorite moments and segments on this wonderful show!
