Pineapple Upside-Down Cake
Pineapple upside-down cake is my favorite upside-down cake. This classic dish never goes out of style and is definitely a party favor. Pineapple Upside Down Cake is a throwback to the 1920s when canned foods were all the rage. It’s beautiful, glittering slices of sweet, […]
Red Apple Sangria Recipe
I’m in a bit of denial and I’m guessing I’m not the only one that is having this problem. You guys, it’s the end of summer. We are watching the last few weeks of summer slip away from us and it’s a bit depressing. This […]
Pumpkin Spice Latte Blondies
Tell me: are you guys ready for the pumpkin? PUMPKIN?! Our summer is so short (okay, relatively short) here in Manitoba that fall always seems to come too early. But my birthday is in September, and I’ve always kind of loved back to school time… maybe that’s […]
Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Pudding Cups
My youngest son turned three recently, and I had a hard time deciding what to take to school for his birthday celebration. (Do you notice a trend? I have decision anxiety on a regular basis!) First, it was going to be mini chocolate banana muffins. […]
Cherry Cheesecake Dip

I’ve been cooking oven fries so long and I’ve done them in so many different ways that I was shocked that I didn’t post a blog about each of them.! Maybe, though, that was because I was waiting for a really great recipe to come […]
Apple Pie Bread Pudding
While flipping through the channels one evening, James asked if there was a show on Food Network dedicated to dessert. I told him that there was not. Strange thing happened shortly thereafter. Dessert First was introduced! I think he is a little psychic or something. […]
Banana Pudding Cake
The cake is dense and super moist, topped with vanilla bean whipped cream. On top of that are little bites of amazingly flavorful vanilla wafers that have been coated in a brown sugar mixture to make a toffee and then baked until crisp. You had […]
Lemon Loaf Recipe
I saw this very recently over at Cook Like a Champion and the only thing that stopped me from making it that day was that I was almost out of sugar (the horror). I definitely picked up sugar during my weekly grocery store trip and […]
White Texas Sheet Cake
Everyone thinks of chocolate cake when they think of a Texas sheet cake, but I decided to make a white version with white chocolate chips sprinkled on top. It’s a quick and easy white cake recipe and you don’t even need to use a blender. […]
Lightened-Up Carrot Cake
So I made this carrot cake lighter with some simple swaps. You won’t BELIEVE how moist, fluffy and SCRUMPTIOUS this spicy
Chicken Pot Pie

Cream Pie Poke Cake
What we don’t bicker over is cake. We love the stuff in this household, and this Boston Cream Pie Poke Cake was a real winner in this house. It starts with yellow cake mix. Throw it in a pan and bake it up like you […]
