Baking pies is my all time favorite desert to make. Cheese cake comes in a close second! Than give me a great bar cookie and I'll try those recipes too. I like to make manicotti from scratch making my own crepes instead of filling store bought manicotti shells. My meatballs & sauce is a family favorite that I enjoy cooking. Pork roast with mashed patatoes and home made pork gravy is the best. When I go to a pot luck I always have requests for my pulled pork roast. Making Italian cookies. Favorites is a nice crunchy pizzelles and Cuccidati (fig and date cookies) My Moms recipe is excellent; with a tender easy to roll dough with a flavorful filling Entered Annual Peach Festival cooking contest on a whim. I won first place with a peach desert I put together.
