It's My Son's Birthday, Let's Celebrate! ๐๐ฅณ
Hello, Reader!
I hope you don't mind me getting a little personal with you this Sunday.
Today is my son's 24th birthday!!!
I still can't believe it y'all!! It seems like just yesterday I was crying my eyes out watching him take his first steps, attend 8th grade formal, and later graduate college.
Now he's adulting in the world, working a corporate job, and trying to balance it all. Sounds familiar, right?!?
A big reason why Simply LaKita exists is because 10 years ago I was working a corporate job trying to find quick and easy ways to make a comforting dinner after a long work day. I wanted to document my journey and have a digital recipe box to store all of my kitchen experiments.
Since many of the recipes were approved and favorited by my son Mike, it only feels right for me to share his 3 favorite recipes :-)
Let's dive right into Mike's Simple LaKita Favorites!
โChess Squares: Who doesn't love dessert? These bars are made using 5 basic ingredients including boxed cake mix, cream cheese, butter, eggs, and sugar. So gooey and delicious!
โChicken Pot Pie: Save time making this comforting dish by using refrigerated pie crust to cover the top and the bottom of this savory pie.
โEasy Lasagna Recipe: Made easy with a jar of sauce, oven-ready noodles, plus three different kinds of cheese. Filling, comforting, and very freezer-friendly!
There you have it, three son-tested and approved recipes that will save you time without compromising on taste.
If you give them a try, please feel free to snap a photo & tag @simplylakita on Instagram. I LOVE hearing about & seeing your Simply LaKita creations, Reader!
Until next time Reader, happy cooking!

Happy Monday Reader! I recently made a batch of deviled eggs and let's just say it was a complete fail! The taste and texture just wasn't it.
