I’ve had enchilada casserole before, but I am not so proud that I don’t think there’s ever a better way to prepare a meal. I really loved the idea of putting tots on top of this! I have had it layered with tortillas before, and also topped with a croissant roll. I couldn’t wait to try!

The instructions have it turn out perfect! The tots were golden brown on top, and I was able to regulate how seasoned the meat was by using a bit of the Old El Paso seasoning at a time. I didn’t put the toppings on, but let my family add them as they desired. What a great meal and a real winner in my house. I love that!

Quick Tip: Want extra crispy tots? Bake them for about ten minutes first.

This cake is going viral!

Light layers of meringue filling sandwiched between fluffy cake layers and topped with coconut? How’s that sound? I could definitely go for some.

That’s why when we grilled out the other day I whipped up this simple cake that has a flavor that’s out of this world, or at least this city.

It was the perfect complement to our shish ka bobs which had teriyaki chicken and pineapple chunks. I knew right away something coconut would be perfect. It was super hot outside, we’re talking heat advisory. It was brave of my hubby to grill out, then we ate inside. Dessert was served poolside and it was just right!

Quick Tip: Be sure the cake layers are cooled completely before frosting. Then I kept it in the fridge until serving time so it was nice and cool on a hot day.

Coffee, tea, and this treat will sweep your guests off their feet!

Need a fast, sweet fix? Turn to this cinnamon tea cake and have it on your plate and devoured in less than an hour. It comes out perfectly, with the gooey inside and outside that’s a bit crispy. The best thing you can top it with is powdered sugar or Cool Whip.

It’s the perfect amount of sweetness, without overloading you. There’s a reason they call it a tea cake, it’s just right for a coffee or tea date with your loved ones or friends. Whip this cake up and impress whomever you’re entertaining, or just sit and relax on your own – you’ve earned it!

Quick Tip: If you want a taller cake, you can use a smaller pan. This is about 1-inch high.

The first time I heard about Tres Leches Cake was in my Spanish class in high school. We had to make one for a project, and I didn’t remember much about the process but I do remember it was absolutely delicious.

The name comes from the three milks the cake is soaked in. They are evaporated, sweetened condensed and half and half. Then it’s topped off with whipped topping. The result is a very moist, delicious cake that’s not overly heavy – so it’s excellent any time of year.

Quick Tip: Use a pastry bag to apply the whipped topping and make it look fancier.

I feel like only the best cake makers know how to incorporate the best candies in their cakes. You have Oreos, Hershey bars and of course Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. My son’s absolute favorite candy is Reese’s so I would’ve been doing him a disservice if I didn’t try to make a cake with his candy as the star.

I searched recipes high and low until I found one I thought would be the moistest, most delicious and impressive and this one for cupcakes was the winner! Not many people can deny their love for peanut butter and chocolate, and with a scoop of vanilla ice cream I too, was in heaven.

Quick Tip: I think topping the cake with Reese’s that are cut in half looks the best.

Lemon cake is usually a fancy cake that you can’t find anywhere.  However, after you make it at home, you won’t be able to stop…and you won’t want to.  This simple cake is so easy to make and you’ll likely have all the ingredients on hand already (well, maybe not the jello lemon pie filling, but definitely everything else!).

This cake is truly refreshing for summer.  It’s perfect for a summer afternoon treat or a birthday cake.  No one will complain when you make this, they may want it for all occasions!  The simplicity of adding the lemon flavor with a box of jello pudding (surprise ingredient!) makes it such an easy treat, too!

Quick Tip: Don’t use margarine instead of butter for this recipe.  Butter makes the cake so much lighter.

This is such an easy weeknight meal to either sit in front of the TV, or grab and go as you have evening activities.  It’s easily finger food, but has all the flavors and ingredients needed to make it a filling meal.  It’s basically a bread covered in toppings and all baked it the oven.  It’s almost like a pizza, really.

What makes this recipe so simple is that it’s made with crescent rolls.  I mean, that just saves you over 2 hours in making a homemade crust! Add some pizza toppings along with anything else you absolutely love and it’s just the perfect dinner that your entire family will love.
