No Bake. No Fuss. No Problem!

One of my favorite things to do as a mom is to cook with my kids. I started letting them help me in the kitchen from the time they could hold a wooden spoon. Finding recipes that are yummy to serve as well as easy enough to have your kids help out isn’t always easy but this one totally works.

Not only are you talking about measurements and teaching your kids to follow directions, you allow them to help serve someone else.

Being able to make something that others appreciate gives kids a real sense of accomplishment. The recipe we usually made involved layering a few ingredients in a pan and baking. This recipe is very similar. Only instead of baking, you just pop this pan in the fridge to set up!

In fact, don’t be surprised if your kids volunteer to bring dessert more often!

The fudge sauce is also great on ice cream so you might want to make an extra batch just to have on hand!

The simple taste of graham crackers, vanilla pudding and chocolate are a sure winner for any occasion or potluck gathering.

An Added Bonus Is That This Dessert Is Gluten Free

Once of my mom’s best friends from high school married a man from Australia and moved to the land of Koala Bears and Kookaburra birds.

I remember it was a big deal every time her family traveled to the states because it was usually several years between visits. I think it was when they were having a get together that we had pavlova for the first time. After that, every time my mom made the melt in your mouth dessert I would think of Wendy and her family.

Serving Pavlova in Australia is what serving pie is in the United States.

It was when they were having a get together with Wendy’s Austrailian family that we had pavlova for the first time. After that, every time my mom made the melt in your mouth dessert I would think of my mom’s friend and the joy they stories they would laugh about when they were together.

I am a such a pushover for anything with lemon in it

When our neighbor’s lemon tree start to show bright yellow dots against the green leafy branches I get ready to apron up and try a few new recipes. They have several citrus trees that are full of fruit, but they can’t use all of it and are happy to have me come and pick the tree ripened fruit anytime I want.

When I saw a recipe for Lemon Magic Cake, let me just be honest, my mouth began to water!

What really captured my attention was that this recipe has only once batter that bakes into three separate layers! Super cute, so easy, and you don’t need to spill the beans on how easy this recipe is.

Simply magical.
