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.
Grandma Tibbitts Sugar Cookies
This recipe was handed down from my great grandmother. It took a few years to figure out the exact measures. These cookies are very soft and if you want to use a cutter, the dough should be refrigerated a couple hours. I use a three inch biscuit cutter. You can also drop these if you are short on time. Sprinkle tops with colored sugar or whatever decorative confection you like. These are good plain also.
Rhubarb Upside-Down Cupcakes
These slightly tart rhubarb upside-down cupcakes are the perfect spring treat when rhubarb is in season. Serve warm with scoops of vanilla or cinnamon ice cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra indulgence.
