No, I did not name this recipe. It’s an old Southern recipe that consists of moist yellow cake soaked in pineapple syrup, topped with whipped cream and coconut. I updated the recipe to include rum, and I used coconut oil because I think the extra coconut flavor makes this better than better than sex cake. If you’re looking for a coconut oil to try, can I recommend Kelapo brand? They sent me the most lovely little jar of the stuff and I can’t get enough....

I can’t help it. I was flipping through the November issue of Better Homes and Gardens for some recipe inspiration and I saw these Bourbon Cranberry Chippers. Now, I don’t cook or bake with or drink a lot of alcohol (hello, I have a 3 year old and a 10 month old), so I left out the Bourbon, but clearly I was not about to leave out the chocolate or dried cranberries....

Here we are in August, and my mind has gone straight to easy dinners for crazy weeknights. Bring on all the quick meal ideas and lunchbox snacks! (Don’t worry — I’m still going to have a few dessert recipes for you throw in there 🙂 ) When I was pregnant with our first daughter, I made a whole whack of freezer meals. I mean, I had time (with no other children wrapped around my legs), so I just went positively nuts....

As I’m writing out our dinners, I realize how lucky I am to have a toddler that eats well. I took a few steps to get to this place, and I want to share them with you in hopes that you have an adventurous eater one day, too. I think the main reason I have an excellent eater for a toddler is because I made my own baby food with inventive spices and whole grains....

Omelettes are one of those foods that feel more complicated to make than they actually are. But really, at its simplest, an omelette is just eggs, maybe a couple seasonings, and (hopefully) cheese cooked in a pan. That doesn’t sound too complicated does it? Although omelettes are simple, they are also pretty easy to mess up. Which is why I’m here to show you the perfect way to make an omelette....

I’m updating this post from 2010, guys! It’s been 9 years, and I still make this pretty little lemon layer cake every Spring! The tangy lemon cake and fluffy whipped cream frosting recipe stayed the same, but we’re going to substitute my new recipe for Microwave Lemon Curd for the filling to streamline it a bit! I hope you love this cake as much as we still do, 9 years later!...

I really want to be one of those ladies who lunch. I’m pretty sure that there are only two requirements to join the club: be a lady and have time for lunch. I think my eyebrows are too big to be considered ’ladylike’, but with a great hat or side-swept hairdo, I might eke by. I just wish I had time for lunch. I usually eat lunch standing up in the kitchen....

You guys, I’m just loving summer. I can’t get over it. Mostly because the weather has been just absolutely beautiful lately (even a touch on the too-hot side if you ask me, but as a Manitoban I really try not to complain about any summer heat), but also because my husband has been “at home” (somewhere on our 13 acres) for about the last month which means our 3 year old has had more freedom to get out and explore outside....

I know, I know. A smoothie recipe?!? This is one of those recipes I’m sharing just because of the amount of times I’ve made it. We have a few favorite smoothies around these parts: this Healthy Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie, this Tropical Smoothie and this Pineapple Smoothie. We could alternate between them every day and everyone would be happy (although we make others just to keep life interesting!). Not all fruit freezes as well or blends as easily when frozen, but pineapple is one of those fruits that freezes perfectly and it doesn’t turn out gritty if you don’t have a $500+ blender on hand....

This red velvet sheet cake walked right into my life. I’ve been making smaller Texas Chocolate Sheet Cake for years, and even included a White Texas Sheet Cake recipe in my third cookbook, Sweet and Simple: Cooking for Two. But for the holidays, I think we need a red velvet version! I love the way we all think red velvet has a season, and it’s different for everyone. In Texas, red velvet typically makes it appearance for the holidays....

I have something extra cheesy and extra easy for you; I can’t wait to share it! I made this Skillet Lasagna for two because I was craving the flavors of lasagna, but didn’t want to heat up the house by boiling water for the noodles and then baking the dish for an hour. Enter one-skillet, one-pan-to-clean lasagna! I made this a white version of lasagne by making a white bechemel sauce....
