The last time I made this mini chocolate cake for two, we ate it in the car on the way to dinner. And if I remember correctly, we had burgers and fries. It’s not that this cake is ’light’ or ’not too sweet’ or whatever it is that people say about dessert to make them feel less badly about eating it. It’s a solid, rich chocolate cake. The cake has a crumb that is one notch closer to pound cake than boxed cake mix, which I love....
Is there anything quite as refreshing as a scoop (or two, let’s be honest) of Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream on a hot summer day? Well, this mint chip ice cream is sure to satisfy any craving. It’s light, yet creamy, infused with minty flavor, and loaded with chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chips. It is my daughter’s favorite ice cream, so naturally I had to add a recipe here!...
The weather is slowly warming up around here but life just doesn’t seem to get any calmer. If anything, once the sun starts to come out and Spring is near, we are just rushing around even more. Sometimes, I wonder how it’s even possible that this catches me off guard every year? I think that after the holidays, in January life will slow down and it’ll be more relaxing. But school, and lessons, and homework, and with 3 kids in very different age groups (all still young!...
Step by step recipe video included in the recipe card. I can’t speak to how things go at your place, but some days 5:00 hits and I stand in my kitchen, casually looking around for dinner to jump out and make itself. And then nothing happens. Sometimes I even — gasp — go to the emergency boxes of mac & cheese. This One Pot Spaghetti? It’s made for Real Life....

If you’re one of those people who pulls apart a chocolate sandwich cookie to eat the creamy filling first, then please, join my club. Let’s be friends forever, because we all know that the creamy, fluffy vanilla filling is the best part. What if you could have eggless chocolate cupcakes piled high with a frosting that tastes exactly like the inside of an Oreo? You would probably eat more than one cupcake, am I right?...
Why you will love these Oreo Balls Whether you are making these for yourself or a cookie exchange party, it will be hard to find an easier recipe for Oreo Balls. I cut the recipe in half and used 20 Oreos and half the amount of cream cheese typically required. The math works out to about the same number of Oreo balls as the number of Oreos you use, so you are very welcome to scale down this recipe further....
Is it just me, or are mocktails having a moment right now? I’ve been noticing mocktail menus more and more at restaurants these days. I had a fantastic one at a fancy place a few weeks ago that I would re-order even if I didn’t have a human growing inside of me. The truth of the matter is, once I hit 30, all those gin + tonics in my 20s started catching up to me....
You guys. I am getting so hangry for pizza just writing this post. There is a super quick, incredibly easy pizza dough recipe that I have been using for the last year or two, and it’s just time to share. I’ll admit, I have another whole wheat pizza dough recipe on The Recipe Rebel that uses active dry yeast, and requires rising (though I supposed you could bake without), and I just don’t use that one anymore because this recipe is so easy....
Romantic dinner ideas for two at home is what I’m pushing for Valentine’s Day this year. If you haven’t made a dinner reservation at a restaurant yet, let me stop you right there. It’s just not necessary! You can cook at home and make something totally delicious for your partner at home and skip the restaurant. Plus, when you make romantic meals for two at home, you can wear sweatpants and end the night on the couch watching Netflix....
Today, we’re going to talk about something very cute, very small and very lovely. Are you ready? Of course you are! Her name is Molly Yeh (pronounced YAY!), and when I first laid eyes on her new book, I snatched it up. Molly’s book is my top pick for holiday gift giving this year. Her book has recipes that showcase the lovely mix of her Asian and Jewish roots (plus her husband’s Scandinavian influence) with a fair dose of her personal food obsessions thrown in (think: tahini, marzipan, and so many eggs!...
Can I interest you in cool, creamy (and crunchy!) creme brûlée that doesn’t require the oven? Of course I can. Do you own a crock pot? I’ve been looking for ways to use the slow cooker on Dessert for Two for years. Even though I have the smallest model of crock pot that makes meals for two, most of you do not. So I just felt silly developing recipes for you in it....
If there’s any dinner that garlic butter doesn’t make utterly amazing, I’m not sure what it is. This Slow Cooker Garlic Butter Chicken and Potatoes is such an easy dinner recipe — all you need is 5 minutes to stir together some melted butter and seasonings, throw some chicken breasts, potatoes and green beans in a crockpot, and drizzle the butter over the top. Then you let it simmer away for a couple of hours until the potatoes are tender, and serve with a drizzle off that buttery goodness from down in the slow cooker....

There are days when you just need a simmering slow cooker full of comfort food, and this Slow Cooker Pot Roast is just the ticket. The roast beef is fall apart tender, and a couple special ingredients give this roast beef so much incredible flavor!...
Don’t these hot pink cookies look like the perfect thing to bring to potlucks and picnics all summer long? These beauties are from my sweet friend Heather Christo’s new cookbook. Her book Generous Table is just as gorgeous as she is. Heather makes me feel like I can entertain any night of the week. Heather has recipes for any type of entertaining festivity. From Ladies’ Luncheon, Southern Housewarming, Backyard BBQ, Game Night, and Holiday Dinner Parties, Heather has you covered....
Watermelon Margaritas Recipe This is the time most people start to think of Fall (hello, August), but for us, our melons are just getting ripe in the garden. I notice cans of pumpkin in people’s grocery carts, but we’re over here with melons stacked on our counter. My birthday is in late September, and that is when I choose to start embracing pumpkin. August has always been, and will always be, for the watermelons!...
Not to be a buzzkill, but someone looked me right in the face and told me a wedding cake for two is a dumb idea. She clearly has not drank the ‘dessert for two’ koolaid and realized how cool it is to make miniature desserts. (Or, she can resist leftover cookies and cupcakes better than I can, who knows? Maybe a pan of brownies doesn’t whisper to her, begging her to eat them the way they do to me)....
PIN THESE RECIPES FOR LATER Here we are, smack in the middle of summer, and I can’t get enough. Often this time of year I feel so thankful that we live in a place with such drastic changes between seasons, because when summer comes we go all in. I feel like Manitobans are a breed that soaks up the sunshine, the lake days, the fair days, the camping days, and all the grilled al fresco dinners like no others....
If they seem too good to be true, just stay with me and trust me, please! A few months ago, I stumbled across a 3 ingredient healthy brownie recipe that had a vegetable in it, and my first thought was just ’no.’ But I suppose the ick was worth it, because it really got me thinking about just how few ingredients we can use to get fudgy brownies. If we boil down the science of brownies, it’s basically an excess of sugar (which is why they’re dense and not fluffy like cake), a protein binder for chewiness (usually eggs), and cocoa powder, which is very high in fat....
These Double Chocolate Cookies, or Chocolate Cake Mix Cookies, are so stinking easy, you guys. They have just 4 simple ingredients and come together in no time to satisfy allllll of your chocolate cravings! I know you have those, too 😉 I was looking through my recipe index the day I was making these, and when I went by my Bars, Squares and Cookies category all I saw was chocolate....
