Marble Bundt cake, ganache glaze. Got to use my (semi-tall) covered cake stand my aunt found for me.

Carbonara Pasta pie. Buccatini, pancetta, peas, cream, eggs and cheese. Was really good.

Exactly. My aunt put them in her spaghetti sauce, and that’s all you could taste 🤢.

Since I’m back in the south, I’m making biscuits more often. Having better access to self rising White Lily helps Bacon, Gruyère and chives.

Second round of Hatch chiles and 60lbs of Roma’s into marinara.

Tomato galette, a little wonky, but it’s a galette. . Herb and parm dough, tomatoes, Italian blend cheese, extra parm and basil. Tasty with a side salad.

I despise them. Pick them off/out anything they are in. Doesn’t really help much, everything they touch tastes like them🤢.

Getting my first Hatch chiles ready to freeze. Really surprised I’ve been able to get some here.

Made a grandma style pizza. Gas is shut off so we can have a repair for a leak, so no pizza oven. Italian sausage, pepperoni, caramelized onions, garlic oil and basil.

More macs. Baby pink with vanilla buttercream. And an inside shot of a full shell (so satisfying ☺️),

Happy 4th macarons. Vanilla bean buttercream and a pack of free 4th sprinkles that came with an order.

I make this recipe all the time and they can be baked whenever you want. The longer wait time allows for the flour to hydrate more, but there won’t be that much difference and you’ll be able to tell if they are ok to use for your event.

Bake some off and see. I left out the brown sugar while I was on the phone, so I just mixed it in. The dough was fine. I don’t think it will affect it that much.

Happy Birthday to my Pops. Still rides his Harley at 77. Chocolate cake, peanut butter filling and mini Reese’s.

Happy Birthday to my mom’s cousin Peggy! White almond cake and vanilla buttercream (that’s all they ever want 😑)

Baby shower cake for my cousins first granddaughter.

Nice day by the pool for snacks. Pancetta Mushroom Tartletts, Hot Honey Roasted Brussels Sprouts, Arancini with tomato sauce, olives, grilled rosemary bread and Prosecco!

Groovy Chocolate cake and cupcakes for a graduation.

Made a few raspberry macarons for mother's day. I tried out the rosette style, but I'm still not sure about them. And then a cream cheese pound cake for lunch with my mom's sisters tomorrow.

Needed to use up a fennel bulb. bucatini with caramelized fennel, Kalamata olives, capers, tomato, garlic, Calabrian chilies.

May the 4th be with you! 😋 Made some Grogu pistachio macarons.

Happy Birthday to my Aunt Sibbie. White almond cake and vanilla buttercream.

A few Easter cookies. I designed and printed the icing sheets in Procreate. I think $11 for one printed icing sheet is ridiculous. So, I’ll make my own since I have everything.

Baked corned beef, roasted cabbage and carrots, Champ, Irish soda bread, horseradish sauce.

It’s got red wine vinegar in the dressing, along with pepper. I was looking at the chile flakes when I was making it. I was leaning toward pistachios instead but tried the original recipe. My mom suggested bacon. Probably would help. It has raw shallot, and I thought they were too harsh, so I would think roast them with the sprouts.
