The Best Baked Ziti
Simply the best baked ziti recipe. I am half Italian, was raised eating the finest Italian-American cuisine, and have filmed almost 2,000 recipe videos, so when you consider all of those facts, it seems incredible that I have never posted a video for baked ziti. Hopefully I make up for that long wait by posting what I think is the best version of it.
Sourdough Scones
Looking for a way to use up some extra sourdough starter, I created this recipe. These scones bake up incredibly tender and moist, and my kids absolutely love the warm, cinnamon-rich flavor of the apple pie spice.
Lavender Tea Bread
I make this tea bread when the lavender is in bloom. Try it with fresh strawberry slices on top.
