I am going to try a pinterest recipe, Peanut Butter Eclair Cake, to bring for Father's Day. Also making Key Lime Pie since it is DH and my Dad's favorite.
What is your go to recipe?
-
Cupcakes decorated to match the theme of the party. If it's a more formal event like Thanksgiving or Christmas Dinner I make a cheesecake of some sort (traditional, pumpkin, oreo, etc).
-
Pioneer Woman's Pig Cake
-
Cheesecake because it's Hubs' family dessert and the one thing I'm really good at.
ETA: Although this weekend I'm making chocolate chip cookies because it should be easy to make them dairy-free!
-
@MamaMoose: I suck at cupcakes! They never rise up enough. When I make 24 like the recipe says.
@LuLu Mom: pig cake? I am going to have to google that. -
@Smurfette: It's amazing (stupid name) but it's a mandarin orange cake with pineapple whip forsting...so good and always a hit.
-
@Adira: I love making bite size chocolate chip cookies and putting icing between and making a sandwich. Yum! They always go so fast!
-
If it's indoors, cheesecake because the people we hang out with and DH included, love, love, cheesecake. We also bring a fruit tart for those that aren't cheesecake lovers and to bring some kind of fruit to the table!
-
I don't have a go-to because I change my mind SO OFTEN.
-
@Smurfette: Yum, I bet! That sounds delicious!
-
Lemon velvet cake! It's a moist lemon cake with a lemon glaze, and served cold in summer it is amaaaaaazing. It's also stupid easy to make.
-
Chocolate trifle
-
Blondies. I make Martha Stewart's Halloween ones with a few modifications.
-
Lately, I like to bring fruit salad, because it doesn't have to go in the fridge, and I find that most people have their fridge full and can't accomodate dess
-
I don't have a go-to, since I want to make all of the things. I change my mind a lot
-
I always bring pie - which one depends on the season. Summer is strawberry rhubarb time !
-
Smitten Kitchen's Oreos are my current go-to, I like that they are a grab and go type of dessert. Lemon bars get tossed into rotation frequently too.
-
@Bookish: oooooh do you have a recipe for that? Sounds amazing!
-
Berry delight
Graham cracker crust
Layer of cool whip and cream cheese combined
Layer of instant vanilla pudding
Layer of strawberries
Layer of cool whip
Garnish with strawberries and blueberries.
So simple and people go nuts over it. -
Lemon bars, or similar. Sometimes raspberry. Sometimes lime. I don't really care for chocolate desserts in the summer because the fruits are so good!
-
I like to bring homemade fruit salad with some vanilla pudding.
-
oatmeal chocolate chip cookies
But now I want all the desserts! Especially some cake!
-
@travelgirl1: I totally forgot to respond to this! As soon as DH is home, I'll go look it up and post!
-
Paula Dean's banana pudding. So good!
@Bookish: I also must have this recipe!
-
Ice cream sandwich cake ... SO easy
-
@rahlyrah: @travelgirl1: Okay here it is:
Mix: 1 small pkg lemon jello, 1 pkg lemon cake mix, 4 eggs, 3/4c oil, and 3/4 cup water. Bake in 9x12 pan @ 350 for 20-30 mins
While cooking, whisk together: 2c powdered sugar & 1/3c lemon juice (if using fresh - approx 2 med lemons). Should be glaze-y.
When cake is done, poke holes all over with a fork or toothpick and then immediately pour the glaze over it.
Tastes best the next day after it's been in the fridge! ENJOY!!
-
@Bookish: Awesome, thank you!
-
Cookies Or cupcakes.
-
I usually make trifle - fruit in summer, chocolate in winter. It's easy and looks pretty.
-
Blackberry cobbler in the summer. We go to a pick your own berry place and usually get a ton of berries for cheap. In fact, I am makin one now for a party tomorrow.
-
If I want to really impress, then I make faux Hostess cupcakes. So good. Otherwise, it depends on what I have on hand. I've been known to make peanut butter bacon cookies.
