Crowd-favorite dessert recipes — cobblers, dump cakes, cookie bars, and sheet cakes big enough to feed the whole gathering.
I Remembered at Noon. The Team Was Coming the Next Day. Caramel brookie cups are what happens when you remember at noon on a Monday that you volunteered to feed twenty-five volleyball girls lunch the very next day.

Everyone Will Be Impressed. Only You and I Will Know. This pecan pie is the easiest, most delicious one there ever was, and I mean that.

You Just Have to Make Sure You Get Your Bite First Cookies and cream dessert lasagna is the no-bake treat one of my girls asks for on repeat all summer long — and the one I never mind making, because it gives me a perfectly good excuse to beat the daylights out of a package…
I Couldn’t Wait Until Fall to Make These These soft chewy molasses cookies taste just like something your grandma would pull out of the oven on a rainy day — warm, spiced, and impossible to stop at one. I usually save them for fall when the cinnamon and cloves feel just right, but the truth…
I Am Not a Delicate Southern Lady — But I Can Make This Cake This Southern butter pecan pound cake might just be my favorite dessert I make — because I am butter pecan everything. The coffee creamer, the ice cream, pecan pie, pecan bars: if it’s butter pecan, I’m in. So I took all…
