Welcome to LaurensLatest.com, where cooking is made simple, delicious, and enjoyable for everyone.
Originally founded by Lauren in 2009, LaurensLatest.com began as a passion project dedicated to sharing family-friendly, tried-and-true recipes.
In 2022, I, Katie Cooksey, took the reins to continue Lauren’s legacy. With a background in building Kroger Krazy into one of the top frugal blogs on the internet, I bring a wealth of experience in content creation and community engagement. Now, I’m focused on crafting recipes that are not only easy to follow but also deliver consistent, mouthwatering results.

At Lauren’s Latest, my team and I are committed to:
I believe that cooking is more than just a task, it’s a way to connect, share, and inspire. The community is at the heart of everything I do, and I’m proud to have a passionate group of home cooks who trust us for new ideas, tips, and recipes.
Here’s where you can find our community and be a part of the conversation:
Your feedback, comments, and interactions make Lauren’s Latest a place where everyone can learn, grow, and get excited about the next meal. Thank you for being a part of this awesome and growing community… I couldn’t do this without you!
Over the years, Lauren’s Latest has been featured by some of the most trusted names in food and lifestyle media. From national magazines to popular cooking platforms, we’ve earned recognition for sharing approachable, reliable, and seriously delicious recipes. Here are a few places you might’ve seen us:
While Lauren’s Latest is run by me, Katie, it’s not just a one-person operation. Behind the scenes, there’s a dedicated team working hard to bring you the best content, recipes, and updates.
From recipe testing to photography, content creation, and community engagement, every part of Lauren’s Latest is carefully crafted with you in mind. We’re a small, experienced, passionate group committed to making cooking easier and more enjoyable for everyone, and we’re excited to continue growing together!
Here at Lauren’s Latest you’ll find everything from weeknight staples to holiday showstoppers. Like a No Water Bath Cheesecake Recipe that never cracks, bakes up smooth, and tastes like a dream. Or Chocolate Buttercream Frosting that’s light, fluffy, and somehow still rich enough to steal the show. It’s the one frosting recipe I reach for over and over.
Every fall you guys go NUTS for this Pumpkin Pecan Cobbler! It’s self-saucing and wildly good. If cookies are your thing, these Shortbread Cookies are buttery and simple, with that perfect crisp edge. And when dinner needs to be easy but still impressive, go for this Garlic & Herb Baked Cod or my crowd-pleasing Baked Ham.
And yes, I have that Lasagna Recipe. The one with homemade sauce, layers of cheese, and zero shortcuts. It’s the definition of worth it.
Want more? I send out a weekly email with fresh recipes, helpful tips, and maybe a few behind-the-scenes updates too.
Sign up here to stay in the loop.
Thanks for stopping by. I’m really glad you’re here.
