The Weekend Dish: 5/4/2024
A very happy Saturday to you!

What I’m Loving Right Now: April 2024Â – My April favorites!
Tres Leches Cake – Sweet and refreshing, this easy-to-make tres leches cake is the ultimate poke cake! A light and airy vanilla sponge cake soaks up a sweet three-milk mixture and is topped with a luscious homemade whipped cream frosting. Perfect for Cinco de Mayo dessert and other summer celebrations!
Homemade Chocolate Pudding – Rich, chocolaty, and oh-so-creamy, this homemade chocolate pudding is a must-make treat! Just as easy to make as boxed pudding, you’ll never want to go back to the store-bought stuff. This easy-to-follow pudding recipe is made with 6 simple ingredients and comes together in just 10 minutes (plus it’s egg-free!). An easy dessert for even a weeknight!

What I Bookmarked This Week
I’m not a big breakfast eater, but these crispy cheesy breakfast tacos sound amazing.
I’ve never seen these Chicago bakery-style apple slices, but I absolutely have to make them now!
And speaking of apples, these caramelized cinnamon apple crumb bars look phenomenal.
Garlic butter buns to go with any pasta you ever make!
So obvious, but I’ve never seen a classic chocolate peanut butter cookie!
Have a delicious weekend!
