Torta Paradiso (Italian Paradise Cake)
What a week! I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving–I am kind of jealous of those of you who were also celebrating Hanukkah, as I think combining those 2 culinary traditions would have made for an awesome meal. I did not cook much, as I was at my in-laws and they declined all of my…
Alex cooks! Simple Vegetarian Lasagna

Some traditional cookies I have kept, such as the wedding cookies and painted sugar cut-outs. Some, mostly those involving dried fruits, I have left behind. I have never made pizzelles…
Back In The Saddle: Daring Bakers’ Lasagne
And people wonder why I think counter space is a necessity for the Daring Bakers! This is the cooked noodles lying out to dry and waiting to be assembled–while I was still cooking more noodles. You read that title right–although depending on how well you know me it could either be the Daring Baker part…
