Fried Eggplant Parmesan
My dad made me eggplant parm one night and I thought, Hmm, I wonder if this would be good as a fried dish. Take this as a State Fair-style spin on a classically iconic Italian staple. This dish is quick and easy, and something anyone can do. You may think teens are lazy, but they'll come to life making this dish.
Great Grandma's Peach Cobbler
This was my great grandma's peach cobbler recipe from the 1940s and earlier. It's so easy to make. I remember this being my favorite dessert from when I was a child. This is delicious when hot and served with ice cream or I enjoy it cold by itself. Enjoy!
Chef John's Panettone
This panettone came out really well. It takes three days to make this recipe but otherwise it's pretty straightforward. Besides dried fruit, there are so many other things you can include, such as nuts, and chocolate chips, just in case this seems too healthy. Serve plain, with butter, or even better, toasted with butter.
