🍫 Why Is This Cake Called Wacky?
|
Hi friends, This week has been a busy one! I’ve been helping with Vacation Bible School, so our days have been full, loud, and a little chaotic, but in the best way. It’s one of those weeks where dinner needs to be simple, the coffee needs to be strong, and dessert is always welcome. This week’s new recipe is Wacky Cake, an old-fashioned favorite that doesn’t need eggs, butter, or milk. It’s simple, budget-friendly, and exactly the kind of recipe that proves our grandmas knew how to make something good with what they had on hand. I also updated a few favorites this week that are perfect for summer baking, old-fashioned desserts, and stocking your kitchen with the right tools. 🍫 Wacky Cake 🧁 12 Baking Tools Every Vintage Recipe Baker Needs I hope your week has been a good one, even if it’s been busy like mine.

If you've never made one, this is your sign. Apple Pan Dowdy 🍗 Chicken Stir Fry —...
Hi friends! I hope your week is off to a great start! Ours has been a little chaotic in the best way. Our son just got home from a mission trip to Panama, so we spent the weekend celebrating and soaking up all his stories. It's the kind of tired-but-full feeling that makes you grateful for a slow cooker doing the work while life happens around it. Speaking of which... It's that time of year again. Backpacks are packed, alarms are set, and dinner somehow still needs to happen every single...
Hi friends! I hope you're having a great week! We spent Monday and Tuesday at an amusement and water park with some family friends, and it was such a fun (and exhausting!) way to kick off the week. Between the roller coasters and the water slides, I think we covered every possible way to get soaked and dizzy at the same time. In between all the splashing and screaming (the good kind), I managed to sneak in some time in the kitchen too. Here's what's new this week: 7UP Cake 🥤 7UP Cake (New)...
