Lemon Pudding Cakes Recipe: Perfect for Any Occasion

We had the sweet blessing this weekend of enjoying dinner at our daughter and son-in-law’s when they were hosting some of our precious missionaries. I love fellowship with my girls and their husbands in their homes. They are both terrific homemakers, cooks and bakers, and it’s a joy to watch them serve their families and others with their gifts.

When Alli invited us to join them for dinner, I asked what I could bring to contribute to the meal. She said she hadn’t planned anything for dessert, if I would like to make something sweet. I was happy about that!

She told me she was making baked chicken thighs, mashed potatoes, asparagus, carrots and rolls. Since it was going to be a filling menu, I wanted to bring something that tasted a little light. Suddenly, a recipe came to mind that I hadn’t made in a good while – Lemon Pudding Cakes.

Peach Cobbler for Two

June 23, 2025June 22, 2025 RefreshHer2 Comments

Because there are just the two of us eating most meals at our house, and because we try to eat healthy most days, I attempt to not keep sweets on hand! But when a celebration comes along, it seems that dessert is a special addition to the meal!

Recently on Father’s Day, I went to Taste of Home’s site to scroll through their recipes created specifically for two. I love that they offer scaled down portions! When I came across a small Peach Cobbler, I knew I had found the sweet treat we would enjoy! This was so easy and had amazing final results!

Low Calorie Pineapple-Orange Cake

March 6, 2023March 4, 2023 RefreshHer4 Comments

I have recipe today that is FAST, DELICIOUS and incredibly EASY! How about 2-ingredients for the cake? Yep, two. T-W-O! Cake mix and crushed pineapple is all it takes for the cake portion of this recipe. The icing has more – it has THREE ingredients! Another good thing about this yummy, moist cake is that it is a light dessert. It’s not calorie-free, of course, but compared to most cakes, this one is reduced in sugar and fat.

Three-Ingredient Donuts

May 11, 2020May 9, 2020 RefreshHer3 Comments

Maybe you don’t need another donut after all these weeks of being home and baking, but you do need this recipe for the days when you open your front door to usher in guests once again.

Often we feel money is too tight to have guests over. We may also be too busy to think ahead to make a dessert. This recipe takes care of both of those issues! Ten donuts costs the amount of a can of biscuits and they’re finished in under 15 minutes! All you need is some oil and then some sugar to coat them in after frying!

Here’s what you need:

Canned biscuits
Granulated Sugar – Place about 1/2 cup sugar into a shallow bowl

Oil for frying – I like Coconut oil, Crisco works well, too

You need about 1 inch of oil in your pan. Bring the oil to 350 – 375 degrees.
Meanwhile, prep your biscuits. I use a melon baller to make holes in the middle of the donuts. If you want to fill them with jam, just leave them whole.

Once the oil is hot enough, place the biscuits into the hot oil and cook until the donuts are light brown. It only takes a minute or so! Brown on one side, flip over and brown the other side.

Place browned donuts on paper towel to drain. Then quickly toss them in granulated sugar. Place on platter.

If you want to fill the donuts with jam, cut a small slit in the side and spoon in a tablespoon or so inside.

I love that idea that if I have a can of biscuits in my fridge, I can make a batch of donuts in minutes, if company were to drop in, or we would invite someone over last minute! I hope you’ll soon open your door to guests and pop open a can of biscuits so you can enjoy these hot donuts!
