Easy tres leches cake for the happy newlyweds

Seven weeks ago my niece got married — Congratulations, Brooke and Kyle!

As tempting as it is to write a column with marriage advice, I’m not going to do that. They’re young and just starting out on their own in this world and they probably wouldn’t listen anyway.

As someone who took her parents’ threats — you can’t do that until you’re 30! — seriously and didn’t get married until I was in my early 30s, a part of me feels they’re entirely too young to be on this journey. On the other hand, if you know you’ve found the one, why wait?

My parents were roughly the same age Brooke and Kyle are now when they married and they celebrated their 59th anniversary this year.

As I type, the newlyweds are packing up their wedding presents and all of their belongings as they prepare to move across the country to start their life together. The Arizona desert will likely be just one of many places the couple call home.

I can’t wait to see what the future has in store for them. And Brooke, I’m just a text message or call away, whether you’re looking for a recipe or just want to talk. Speaking of recipes …

This one is for my new nephew and his bride.
