Noni's Taralli
Classic Italian biscuit recipe passed down from my great grandmother (nona) to my grandmother (noni) to my dad and now to me. These are savory taralli, you can also add cracked black pepper to taste if desired.
King Cake with Cream Cheese Filling
This recipe for king cake with cream cheese filling is, hands down, the best I've ever eaten. It's a combination of several recipes, not too sweet and not too bready, with a rich, tender crumb and the traditional lemon and nutmeg flavors of a genuine NOLA king cake. It's great with coffee and best eaten the same day but pretty darn good the day after (if there are leftovers!). Enjoy, y'all!
