Crowd-favorite dessert recipes — cobblers, dump cakes, cookie bars, and sheet cakes big enough to feed the whole gathering.
The Recipe I Almost Kept to Myself I’ll be honest with you — this banana bread recipe almost didn’t make it to the blog. My mama’s banana bread is something I am deeply, emotionally attached to. I grew up eating it, I make it for my kids now, and in all honesty? I think this…
Mama’s Apple Pie Is the One Everyone Asks Me to Bring Mama’s apple pie is the recipe I make every single time someone needs a homemade pie — and it never lasts long. The secret?

The No-Bake Dessert That Will Make You the Hero of Every Potluck Eclair Squares are one of those recipes that I have been making for years and years, and every single time I put them on the table they disappear fast. This recipe comes from Kathy Petty — a wonderful lady I went to church…
