Nothing says springtime quite like a light, lemon-y dessert, so that's precisely what we wanted to make this Easter. While Easter has come and gone, it's not too late to try this recipe out for yourself because this is one that will be delicious all spring (and summer!) long. We got the recipe for Mina's Lemon Bars from the Magnolia Table cookbook, by none other than "Fixer Upper's" Joanna Gaines. We're convinced that anything Gaines puts her stamp on is going to be amazing —

Augusta and I are pretty excited to be in New York in the springtime. The weather has been a bit unpredictable, but every so often there is a gorgeous day in the high 70s. We feel like April is flying by and we can't believe Easter Sunday is coming! This past weekend we sat and planned our brunch menu since we are finally living in the same city and can celebrate the holiday together! Last year, we spent the holiday a part but still made it a point to make a recipe together a

Diet, shmiet. It's okay to indulge and fix yourself or buy yourself a treat every now and then. It's all about moderation, of course. But when we were doing Super Bowl prep/snack research, we couldn't help but stumble upon yummy dessert recipes. For whatever reason, ice cream was on the brain. We found ourselves clicking on things like "Oreo Lasagna" and "Cookie Dough Ice-Cream Quesadilla." Having ice-cream by itself is already a luxury, but taking the time to prepare a recip

Maybe it's because the holidays are right around the corner or the fact that my sister and I are both not "home" for the first time, but we've been craving recipes we used to eat growing up. And monkey bread is definitely one of those. So, in honor of making it feel like home wherever you are, here are seven monkey bread recipes to make if you're attending holiday parties or otherwise feeding a crowd. Of course, we also highly recommend keeping this all to yourself! This isn'

If you are anything like us, you like to spend most of your weekends in your PJs having a lazy day. It's important for us to eat as many of our meals... from bed. While scrolling on Pinterest, as one does during a pajama day, we found a picture with quite the luxurious spread. You can totally have a tea party of one your next free weekend. We thought we could totally recreate that moment ourselves! You just need macaroons, cake, and fruit. We'll also highly recommend throwing

Summer is going to be here before we know it!! That is really so crazy to us. It really feels like it skipped straight from winter to spring. But that being said, we couldn't be more excited that summer is almost here; it's our favorite season after all. Our perfect day would be spending all day in the sun on the beach with a cooler full of yummy snacks. We are always trying to keep our beach bodies in tact, while not depriving ourselves of desserts. That goal is always a lit

Who doesn't want dessert for every meal, really? The Labels and Lacquer girls definitely have a sweet tooth and are down for dessert for breakfast. That being said, we wanted to research all the ways to have cake for breakfast. There are coffee cake recipes in this post, that are meant for breakfast. But there are also a few ways to disguise other sweet breakfast items as cake, like stacking crepes or pancakes. Yes we know it sounds too good to be true but keep reading, and i

The Labels and Lacquer girls love mug cakes. They are just so easy to make. It’s pretty amazing that you can have a cake like consistency in a mug in less than 5 mins. Science is crazy haha It makes for a perfect late night snack. When you don’t have much to make for dessert, but you have eggs, flour, and sugar – you basically have everything for a mug cake. It also makes for a nice breakfast snack. This morning I made myself blueberry muffins in a mug. It makes mornings quic

Chocolate wine has been something that we loved for quite a while. The past few times we've gone the grocery store, we always hit up the wine aisle to see if we could find this decadent wine. But sadly, we would leave the aisle empty handed. But recently we were able to find it again! Rejoice! It is such a nice addition to end any evening. Because it's not quite like having a dessert, but it is the next best thing. It seriously taste like alcoholic chocolate milk. That being

There is just something so refreshing about lemon desserts, especially in the summertime! They are tangy and sweet, the perfect combo to enjoy in the warm weather. With more down time in the summer it's fun to test out new recipes in the kitchen for the Label and Lacquer girls. I personally love any type of lemon desserts. And the lemon pound cake loaf from Starbucks will CHANGE YOUR LIFE. I was excited to do a little research of good lemon recipes to have on hand! We include
