The title of this recipe is “torte” but it isn’t really a torte. It isn’t really a pavlova either. Trying to find a recipe just like this one is impossible. But this is a traditional Christmas dessert in my family. It requires a DOZEN eggs. When it bakes, it ends up with a nice crunchy coating. It is covered with whipped cream.

Meatballs with rice on top of tomato-based sauce.

This is my go-to order at Cheesecake Factory. I really like the cheesiness of this dish. Have not tried the at-home copy cat recipe yet.

We really liked this version of chili. Unfortunately I have several children who only want our “family favorite” chili with spaghetti in it.

This recipe came from my grandmother, who got the recipe from Faye Cox. I don’t know who Faye Cox is, but this is a Jello dessert with several layers. It is probably actually called Strawberry Pretzel Salad. When I first read the title (when transferring recipes here) I thought it was a soft pretzel with strawberry flavor.

This is a recipe I can remember my mother making when I was a kid. Have not tried making it myself.

I love curry. Will have to try this recipe at some point.

We were looking for a quick way to make mashed potatoes, especially for when we make shepherd’s pie. Dylan found this recipe but added his own spin with the sautéed onions and garlic.
