Here’s Our Secret To The Perfect Holiday Mini-Dessert!

These cute little holiday treats are as easy to make as they come. With fresh strawberries, and a little dash of creamy goodness, they’re nutritious and delicious!

Not to mention the brownies, which makes these perfect for all chocoholics, too! This recipe uses a store-bought brownie mix (which makes this even easier) but feel free to make your favorite homemade brownie batter instead, if preferred. Buy some pretty little boxes, and give them away as gifts, for the holiday. Whatever you do, they’re cute, creative, and a crowd pleaser!

I’m so glad I came across Jen’s recipe and I’m pretty sure we are going to be making these Santa hat brownies every year, from now on. The kids were crazy about the test batch I made! I can’t wait to give these as gifts to our neighbors and friends over the holidays.

You’ll Make Your Family Super Happy With This Dessert

When my sister was little, she absolutely loved the cartoon Strawberry Shortcake. She had every little doll and every movie and adored all of her things. During that time, she found out that Strawberry Shortcake was actually a dessert. So, naturally, she wanted it. And once she tried it, she wanted it every day.

While strawberry shortcake is usually considered a summertime dessert, I found the perfect recipe that turns it into a festive treat! No baking involved, and the if you’re using mason jars they make the servings super pretty. The perfect match for kids and adults alike who love these flavors. It’s easy and simple and it is extra tasty and pretty fun to eat!

Kids love the colors in it, and if you’re not a fan of strawberries you could always use cherries or pretty much any kind of fruit or berries for this!

Quick Tip: Use fresh strawberries if they’re available, however if they’re not, feel free to use frozen.

Combine These Unexpected Ingredients For A Red Coleslaw You Cannot Resist

So, now that Thanksgiving has come and gone I thought I’d be able to take a breather from cooking for at least a few days. But then it dawned on me that Christmas is only four weeks away. I am hosting a major family dinner at our house for the holidays this year and I need to get to planning my meal STAT. So, the first order of business is to find some yummy side dishes that I can serve alongside my prime rib roast. I came across this delightful red coleslaw recipe and I was instantly smitten.

You guys, this coleslaw is so pretty! It combines all of the colors of Christmas into one, cabbagey bowl. Talk about a robust combination of flavors.

This sponge cake recipe is a must-know for every woman.

My mother has always said that a girl needs to have a basic knowledge of any recipe in the kitchen. It’s because these basic recipes are actually what will help you create the more complicated recipes. She told me that if I want to make a complicated stew, I should know how to make a basic beef stew. If I want to make a really beautiful cake, I should be able to make a simple pound cake or a simple sponge cake, which are mostly the base for most cakes.

My mom has her own sponge cake recipe, but I figured that sometimes, I need to find something on my own. This sponge cake recipe is what I found. It’s very simple and very easy to make, but you will be surprised at how well it will turn out. Just follow all the steps indicated and you will have your perfect sponge cake by the end of it all.

This sponge cake recipe gives you the best moist sponge cake that I have ever tasted. Everyone will surely fall in love with this once you serve it to them. Other than that, you can make this simple sponge cake into a full-blown cake if it’s a special occasion!

Quick tip: The sponge cake will bake better if you don’t use a convection oven, meaning use heat coming from top and bottom only. Also, do not open the oven until the baking time is over.

Wedding showers are one of my favorite things to attend.

I love sharing all the joy that my friends and family feel when they are about to celebrate their big day. It’s especially fun when I don’t have to make any of the food. In my younger years, it seemed like I was the bridesmaid for about two weddings a year on average. Part of being the bridesmaid is helping out at the shower.

Well, this past year, I was definitely not a bridesmaid, and I was not in charge of anything. My niece was getting married and her and her friends came up with some pretty fun and interesting dishes to serve all the guests.

When I got to the dessert table and saw a crock pot, I couldn’t wait to find out what was inside. Come to find out, it was this incredible peanut butter fudge cake. I found a recipe just like it on All Recipes.

Man, when I tasted this, I didn’t want to stop eating it. Thankfully, there were other people around or I may have cleaned out the whole pan!

Quick Tip: Serve with a scoop of ice cream!

My love of dark chocolate started as a kid.

I prefer it over any other type because it’s so rich and not too sweet. Every time I grab candy for a fix it’s dark chocolate. I love the Dove brand best, and I will pop those in my mouth every time I need some, which is always. Anyway, chocolate cake is also my daughter’s favorite and her graduation from boot camp was coming up, so I decided to make her a cake. Imagine how thrilled I was when I found this dark version! Let me tell ya, it didn’t disappoint.

Imagine how thrilled I was when I found this dark version! Let me tell ya, it didn’t disappoint. If there hadn’t been other people, there I would have had a much bigger slice after my initial one. I guess I’m thankful I had to share for calorie reasons but honestly, this one deserves a spot in my official cake recipe hall of fame. I just started it today!

When it comes to vintage recipes I often gravitate towards those between the 1930s and 1950s.
