This cookbook is full of SIMPLE dessert recipes that require less than 10 ingredients or less! I’m not supposed to play favorites, but this cookbook has my whole heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of my favorite things about Sweet and Simple is that the chapters are divided by the pan needed to bake! If you have a muffin pan, turn to the muffin pan chapter to bake small desserts. If you have a quarter sheet pan, a 6″ cake pan, ramekins–you can make every single recipe in that chapter with that one pan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull has-quaternary-background-color has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"block-ci cwp-inner is-style-shadow block-ci--reverse\">\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group block-ciimage is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/dinner-two-white.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-78839\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1;object-fit:cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/dinner-two-white.png 1200w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/dinner-two-white-400x400.png 400w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/dinner-two-white-550x550.png 550w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/dinner-two-white-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/dinner-two-white-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/dinner-two-white-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/dinner-two-white-720x720.png 720w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/dinner-two-white-360x360.png 360w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/dinner-two-white-180x180.png 180w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/dinner-two-white-600x600.png 600w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/dinner-two-white-100x100.png 100w, https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/dinner-two-white-96x96.png 96w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group block-cicontent is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>And yes, I even wrote a FOURTH COOKBOOK! My 4th book is entitled <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/409I9sZ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Dinner Just for Two<\/a><\/span>. It came out in 2019, and I’m sure saw me all over the country promoting this book! I was even invited to go on the Hallmark Channel to promote these perfect date night at home recipes. This book took nearly 3 years to produce, and the recipes in it are the ones I cook to the most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My favorite thing about this book is that it has a ‘LEFTOVER INGREDIENT’ section so that no food goes to waste. If you buy a bundle of fresh parsley, you can simply turn to the leftovers chapter to find a list of all of the recipes that use parsley.  The same is true for leftover ground meat, spices, buttermilk, etc. I want you to use what you have on hand, and make a delicious dinner for two.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I am so incredibly grateful that you are here, and I hope you and I can become cooking buddies. I started this blog over 6 years ago to document myself scaling down my Mama’s recipes, and I cannot believe everything that has stemmed from it. I am so very blessed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may have seen me on TODAY show and QVC a few times. The cooking for two movement is really taking off these days, as baby boomers are retiring and empty nests are popping up everywhere.

Rose fed many people very well throughout her entire life, including the cast of Bonnie and Clyde while it was being filmed in Dallas.  In her earlier years, she smoked her own barbecue and served plate lunches to the people working in downtown Dallas.  My mom has memories of Rose’s arms being black with smoke.  I wasn’t around for that time, but considering people still talk about it, I know it was delicious.  Rose worked in her restaurant at the griddle until she died, just 8 years ago.  She closed up on a Saturday afternoon and passed away the following Monday. We still sit around and talk about what we wouldn’t do for just one more of Rose’s burgers.  <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-want-more-of-me\">Want more of me?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find me on <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/DessertForTwo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Facebook<\/a><\/span>, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/dessertfortwo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pinterest<\/a><\/span>, and <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/dessertfortwo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Instagram<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have a question?  See the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/faq\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">FAQ PAGE<\/a>, or shoot me an email at dessertfortwo AT gmail DOT com.
