Cheese Soufflé

This recipe just says “cheese” and doesn’t specify what kind of cheese. Recipes that I looked up call for sharp cheddar and parmesan, but I am sure those aren’t the only options.

Spaghetti Pie

The spaghetti serves as the “crust” for this casserole. Then layer with ricotta, and meat mixture.

Margarita Salmon

Mix this glaze up with tequila, lime juice, olive oil, and spices and rush over salmon.

Torte

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.

Cookie Frosting

I used this frosting for the first time in 2024. Previously I mostly winged frosting, and this really wasn’t much different than what I usually did. One difference was the almond extract – which I liked, but certain family members complained about.

Tamale Pie

Cornmeal, milk, egg, sautéed onions, corn, and ground beef in a casserole dish.

1.2.3. Plain Pastry

Just a simple pastry dough recipe.

Lemon Meringue Pie

Classic lemon meringue pie. Yum!

Ratatouille

Personally, I am not a fan of eggplant. But if you like eggplant, try this version of ratatouille.
