A few months ago, I got together with some friends for a sunday night dinner. Sunday night dinners are just a great way to end the weekend and get ready for the week ahead. This Sunday dinner was extra special because Alyson from SimplyNutricising was in town, and we were celebrating the last Sunday dinner in St. Louis for one friend. This definitely called for a delicious dessert and Texas Sheet Cake with some berries sounded like just the thing!
Texas sheet cake is so easy to make and is SO good. Be careful it can be hard to stop at one bite!
