This month's Recipes to Rival challenge was to make strata. The original recipe used spinach and pancetta, but my father has a clotting problem and can't eat too many foods with Vitamin K in them. Pancetta? Well, I would have to go (read full article)
Although cinnamon rolls are fun and delicious, I have always wanted to go to the next level and make one of these pretty rings. Basically, they are cinnamon rolls that haven't been cut apart and placed separately in a pan. You roll them u (read full article)
